The virtual fundamental class in symplectic geometry
Speaker: Dusa McDuff (Columbia University) Title: The virtual fundamental class in symplectic geometry Abstract: Essential to many constructions and applications of symplectic geometry is the ability to count J-holomorphic curves. The moduli spaces […]
Computational Principles of Auditory Cortex
Speaker: Xiaoqin Wang (Johns Hopkins University) Title: Computational Principles of Auditory Cortex Abstract: Auditory cortex is located at the top of a hierarchical processing pathway in the brain that encodes acoustic information. This brain region is crucial […]
Recent progress on mean curvature flow
Speaker: Robert Haslhofer (University of Toronto) Title: Recent progress on mean curvature flow Abstract: A family of surfaces moves by mean curvature flow if the velocity at each point is given by the mean curvature […]
