Recent Progress On Mean Curvature Flow
Bruce Kleiner
3:15pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

An evolving surface is a mean curvature flow if the normal component of its velocity field is given by the mean curvature. First introduced in the physics literature in the 1950s, the mean curvature flow equation has been studied intensely by...

Quantum Tunneling and Its Absence in Deep Wells and Strong Magnetic Fields
Jacob Shapiro
4:30pm|Simonyi Hall 101 and Remote Access

New results on quantum tunneling between deep potential wells, in the presence of a strong constant magnetic field are presented. This includes a family of double well potentials containing examples for which the low-energy eigenvalue splitting...
