The "Hairy Ball Theorem" and Applications

Location: MC 2017
Food: Yes.

Abstract: The "Hairy Ball Theorem" states that there are no non-vanishing continuous tangent vector fields on even-dimensional spheres. It is a very important theorem from algebraic topology that has many applications. I will give an elementary proof of the theorem and discuss some of its applications.

Convex Sets, Convex Optimization and Some Inequalities

Time: Monday, July 10, 5:30-6:30
Location: MC 2038

Abstract: We will start by touching on a few fundamental concepts in convex optimization. Then, we will venture on a journey guided by some recent developments. This will take us through a path that will visit solutions and connections to certain problems in combinatorics, data science, real algebraic geometry, operator theory and quantum computing.

Join us for some math and snacks!

Kicking off Spring 2023 PMC Prof Talks with a pure math talk!

Here are the details:

PMATH Prof Talk with Prof. Jason Bell
Ultraproducts and the Ax-Grothendieck Theorem

Time: Thursday, June 29, 4:00-5:00
Location: MC 4064

Abstract: The Ax-Grothendieck theorem says that an injective polynomial map from a finite-dimensional complex vector space to itself is in fact surjective. We’ll introduce the notion of ultrafilters and ultraproducts and show how one can deduce this result quickly from this machinery.

Hope to see you there!
