Abstract: In this talk, we study an algebraic approach to fusions of synchronization models. The Lohe tensor model is a generalized synchronization model which contains three synchronization models; the Kuramoto model(on the circle), the swarm sphere...

Abstract: The capillary effect caused by the interfacial energy dominates the dynamics of small droplets, particularly the contact lines (where three phases meet). With insoluble surfactant laid on the capillary surface, the adhesion of droplets to...

University of Victoria
The stochastic heat equation (driven space-time white noise) arises from interface growth dynamics via the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and from the theory of disordered systems via continuum directed random polymers. Despite these physical relations...

ULethbridge - Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminar: Soffía Árnadóttir
December 1, 2021
University of Lethbridge
Consider a group G acting transitively on the vertices of an infinite, cubic (3-regular) graph Gamma such that the vertex stabilizers are infinite. We will see that if G is also edge-transitive on Gamma, then Gamma is the infinite cubic tree, and if...

Abstract: I will introduce a skeleton obtained directly from monomial relations in a finite quiver without cycles, and relate the construction to some classical examples in mirror symmetry. This is work in progress with David Favero. Speaker...
