I will give an introduction to Poisson geometry, starting with its role in the dynamics of physical systems and its relationship to symplectic geometry. Through the use of illustrative examples, I will highlight some of the basic features of Poisson...

Machine learning is transforming the way we approach the laws of nature. PhysicsML — the fusion of machine learning with physics-based modeling — is rapidly advancing fields from computational biology and climate forecasting to product design and...

In this talk we discuss two backward uniqueness theorems for extrinsic geometric flow of possibly non-compact hypersurfaces in general ambient complete Riemannian manifolds. These are applicable to a wide range of extrinsic geometric flow, including...

Let ð”½_q be a finite field, and let ℙ²(ð”½_q) denote the projective plane over ð”½_q. A subset B ⊆ ℙ²(ð”½_q) is called a blocking set if it intersects every line defined over ð”½_q. Given an algebraic plane curve C in ℙ², under what...

It is conjectured that many models of statistical mechanics have a rich, fractal-like behaviour at and near their points of phase transition, with power-law scaling governed by critical exponents that are expected to depend on the dimension but not...

In this talk, we will discuss how Ricci flow smoothing can be used to produce expanding Ricci solitons coming out of a metric cone, when the curvature is non-negative. We will discuss how its relation to problem in Hamilton-Lott pinching conjecture...

Mathematical modelling is increasingly central to pharmaceutical research and development through the framework of model-informed drug development (MIDD). This talk will introduce the core principles of MIDD and showcase its practical application...

The Calabi-Yau theorem says that given any smooth representative Φ of the first Chern class, there exists a unique K\”ahler metric ω cohomologous to α such that Ricci(ω)=Φ. It is natural to investigate whether similar results hold when the manifolds...

In this article we study the double dimer model on hyperbolic Temper- leyan graphs via circle packings. We prove that on such graphs, the weak limit of the dimer model exists if and only if the removed black vertex from the boundary of an exhaustion...
