    Title: Factorization of positive definite functions through convolution and the Turàn problem Abstract: If $G$ is a finite abelian group, we call a subset $S\subset G$ symmetric if $0\in G$ and $-x\in S$ whenever $x\in S$. We also let $S^*=(G\setminus

    Title: Some tame or wild Cantor dynamical systems Abstract: A topological dynamical system is a pair $(X,T)$ where $X$ is a compact metric spaces and $T$ is a group or semigroup acting continuously on $X$. One algebraic invariant of a

    Outer entropy equals Bartnik-Bray inner mass, and the gravitational ant conjecture Jinzhao Wang (ETH Zurich) Entropy and energy are found to be closely tied on our quest for quantum gravity. We point out an interesting connection between the recently proposed

    Title: Nodal deficiency via equipartition energy functionals and the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map Abstract: A classic result in differential equations is that the nth eigenfunction of a Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem has precisely n-1 zeros. Courant’s nodal domain theorem provides a natural

    The Cheating Robot and Insider Information Throughout this talk, we explore a deterministic model as an alternative approach to studying simultaneous play combinatorial games. We call this the Cheating Robot model. This model forces both players to move at the
