Obstructions to Riemmanian Smoothings of a Locally CAT(0) Manifold Bakul Sathaye Ohio State University PhD Student “In this talk I will discuss obstructions to Riemannian smoothings of a locally CAT(0) manifold. I will focus on obstructions in dimension = 4... Read More
Cube Complexes and their Growth Series Richard Scott Santa Clara University Professor “A cube complex Y is a geometric object constructed by gluing together Euclidean cubes along their faces. If G is the fundamental group of Y, then there is... Read More
Multilinear Integral Operators: Classic, Curved, and Discrete Dong Dong University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate Student “Several important integral operators in harmonic analysis will be presented in an organized way. The fundamental question about these operators is the boundedness on... Read More
Mathematical Modelling of Protein Oscillations in Bacteria Peter Rashkov Institute of Mathematics and Informatics - Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Associate Professor “Pole-to-pole oscillations of protein concentrations are observed in connection with cell division or movement and mathematical models have been...

Multistationarity in Biochemical Reaction Networks Dr. Maya Mincheva Northern Illinois University Associate Professor “Multistationarity is defined as the existence of several positive equilibria of an ordinary differential equations model. Multistationarity is a required property of biological switches - reaction networks... Read More
Due to weather related issues, this seminar has been cancelled and rescheduled from April 16 to its current date– Wednesday, April 18 at 2:00PM. We apologize for any inconveniences. The Visual Boundary of Hyperbolic Free-By-Cyclic Groups Ms. Emily Stark Technion-Israel... Read More
Nonmanifold Manifolds! Steven Ferry Rutgers University Professor Emeritus of Mathematics “We describe the construction of a collection of compact "n-manifolds" modeled on spaces other than R^n. These spaces provide counterexamples to a well-known conjecture of Bing-Borsuk. Both results and open... Read More
Action Dimension of Simple Complexes of Groups Kevin Schreve University of Chicago NSF Dickson Instructor of Mathematics “The geometric dimension of a discrete group G is the minimal dimension of a model for the classifying space BG. The action dimension... Read More
Occupancy Patterns in a Small Pond Network Dr. Zoi Rapti University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Associate Professor of Mathematics “In this talk, we will use metapopulation theory, stochastic and spatially explicit simulations, and four years of data to attempt to understand... Read More
Hierarchies and Dehn Fillings for Relatively Hyperbolic Cubical Groups Eduard Einstein University of Illinois at Chicago Research Assistant Professor “Wise characterized virtually special cubical groups as groups that admit quasiconvex hierarchies terminating in finite groups. Given a relatively hyperbolic group... Read More
