Colloquium Speaker: Anar Akhmedov, University of Minnesota Title: The Geography of Symplectic 4-Manifolds Abstract: The symplectic geography problem, originally posed by J. McCarthy-J. Wolfson and R. Gompf, asks which ordered pairs of nonnegative integers are realized as (\chi(X),c_1^2(X)) for a symplectic 4-manifold X, where \chi(X)=(e(X)+\sigma(X))/4. In this talk, we will address the geography of simply […]
Colloquium Speaker: Ivan Corwin (Columbia University) Title: Extreme Diffusion Abstract: Two hundred years ago, Robert Brown observed the statistics of the motion of grains of pollen in water. It took almost one hundred years for Einstein and others to develop an effective theory describing this motion as that of a random walker. In this talk, I will […]

Colloquium Speaker: James Propp (UMass Lowell) Title: Snake graphs and q-deformed real numbers Abstract: I'll present a statistical-mechanical construction of q-deformed real numbers ]_q, inspired by the q-deformed rational numbers _q of Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko. The new construction admits two equivalent formulations: one in terms of random filters in snake posets and the other in terms of […]
