Members' Colloquium

Barcodes in Topology and Analysis
Egor Shelukhin
1:00pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access

Persistence modules and their associated barcodes were intensively studied since the early 2000s with a view towards applied mathematics. Recently they have also found numerous applications in pure mathematics. We will discuss a few examples from...

The Smale Conjecture for $RP^3$ and Minimal Surfaces
Daniel Ketover
2:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

In the early 80s Hatcher proved the Smale Conjecture, asserting that the diffeomorphism group of the three-sphere retracts onto its isometry group.  The corresponding problem for $RP^3$ was open nearly 40 years, and resolved only in 2019 by a...
