Conference on Geometric and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations »
This conference will demonstrate and strengthen connections between geometric analysis and nonlinear partial differential equations.
The algebra and geometry of non-reduced curves »
In this talk, I will introduce the simplest kinds of non-reduced curves, and explain what they tell us about the geometry of smooth curves.
Can (deformation classes of local) gapped Hamiltonians be moved about from one manifold to another? »
I’ll explain how a generalization of Kirby’s torus trick from "Stable homeomorphisms and the annulus conjecture", Annals of Mathematics (1969) can be used to relocate a certain phases of matter from one manifold to another --- restrictions on both the phase and the manifolds may apply.
Can (deformation classes of local) gapped Hamiltonians be moved about from one manifold to another? »
This talk is a part of the International Physics Summer School on Topological Matter.
“Pre-talk” for Mike Freedman’s talk on topological matter and the torus trick »
On Friday at 3pm Mike Freedman is speaking in the Topological Matter summer school. This is a “pre-talk”, trying to fill in some background.

Quasistrict 3- and 4-categories »
We will try to understand Vicary and Bar's definition of quasistrict 3- and 4-categories.
Mimetic discretizations: new opportunities for pre- and post-processing »
I will discuss the impact of mimetic methods on visualization, pre- and post-processing tools with particular emphasis on developing suitable interpolation and regridding techniques.
Surfaces mod relations »
Kevin will describe a family of 3-categories coming from surfaces modulo local relations.
Groupoids and Algebroids in Geometric Analysis »
I will show with many examples how Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids appear and how they are used in geometric analysis, particularly in index theory.
