Let \(p\) be a prime number. For each positive integer \(k\geq 2\), it is widely believed that the smallest prime that is a k-th power residue modulo p should be \(O(p^{\epsilon})\), for any \(\epsilon>0\). Elliott proved that such a prime is at most...

Abstract: In order to prove the existence of a ground state (a positive, radially symmetric solution in the energy space), we develop the shooting method and deal with a one-parameter family of classical solutions to an initial-value problem for the...

Abstract : Co-differential categories are additive symmetric monoidal categories where you can differentiate certain kind of morphisms with the help of a combination of a monad, monoids and a deriving transformation. Recently, J.-S. Pacaud Lemay...

For a finite-type surface , we study a preferred basis for the commutative algebra of regular functions on the -character variety, introduced by Sikora-Westbury. These basis elements come from the trace functions associated to certain tri-valent...

Models become notably more complex when stochasticity is introduced. One of the best ways to add frustrating amounts of randomness to your model: incorporate humans. In this talk, I discuss three different ways in which humans have made things messy...

I will discuss several geometric constraints of the finite-time blowup of smooth solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation in the regularity criteria related to the eigenvalue structure of the strain matrix and to the vorticity direction. These...
