Paraproducts on Polydiscs
4:00pm|Fine Hall 214

We will describe a result which extends the classical Coifman-Meyer theorem to the multi-parameter setting of polydiscs. This is based on work recently completed jointly with Jill Pipher, Terry Tao and Christoph Thiele.

Prescribing symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor
Matt Gursky
3:30pm|Fine Hall 214

In joint work with J. Viaclovsky, we studied the problem of prescribing symmetric functions of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor for a conformal metric on a compact manifold (often referred to as the "Sigma-k Yamabe problem"). This is...

A Deterministic Control Based Approach to Motion by Curvature
Sylvia Serfaty
3:30pm|Princeton University, Fine Hall 214

In a joint work with Bob Kohn, we give a new control-type interpretation on the level-set approach to motion by curvature and related interface motion laws. More precisely, we give a family of discrete-time, two-person games whose value functions...

Asymptotically Simple Solutions of the Vacuum Einstein Equations in Even Dimensions
Michael Anderson
3:30pm|Fine Hall 214

We will discuss a new construction of space-times in the title with $\Lambda > 0$ or $\Lambda = 0$ based on solving the Cauchy problem for a conformally invariant system of equations formed from the Fefferman-Graham (ambient obstruction) tensor.
