In this talk, I will discuss a long-standing problem on type II singularity of Ricc flow. First I recall some known results on long-time behavior of Ricci flow, then I will present our solution to the above problem. I may also discuss a related...

Over the past few years, operator learning – the approximation of mappings between infinite dimensional function spaces using ideas from machine learning – has attracted increased research attention. Approximate operators, learned from data, hold...

Optimal transport operates on empirical distributions which may contain acquisition artifacts, such as outliers or noise, thereby hindering a robust calculation of the OT map. Additionally, it necessitates equal mass between the two distributions...

In this talk, we consider colored permutation groups ℤm≀Sn, which contain the symmetric groups Sn≅ℤ1≀Sn and the signed symmetric groups Bn≅ℤ2≀Sn as special cases. Like in Sn, colored permutations in ℤm≀Sn have a notion of cycle type that classifies...

A sign pattern (matrix) has entries in {+, -, 0}. We investigate eigenvalue properties of a sign pattern of order 2n where two of the blocks are prescribed sign patterns of order n, and the other two (order n) blocks are the positive diagonal sign...

For fixed n, consider the symmetric group S_n on the symbols 1,...,n and the set of *star* transpositions, the transpositions that contain the symbol n. A *star factorization* of a permutation b in S_n of length k is the writing of b as the product...

A d-polytope is called (d−i)-simplicial if all of its (d−i)-faces are simplices. It is i-simple if every (d−i−1)-face belongs to exactly i+1 facets. A few low-dimensional examples of (d−i)-simplicial i-simple polytopes arising from regular polytopes...

Local Arthur packets are sets of representations of p-adic groups that help us realize important classes of automorphic forms. They have geometric analogues, called ABV-packets. This was first proposed for p-adic groups by David Vogan following his...

In this talk, we study the performance of some preconditioners for accelerating the convergence of Krylov subspace methods for solving linear systems of equations with a block three-by-three structure. A brief discussion is included regarding how...
