Toward the equivariant stable parametrized h-cobordism theorem
Waldhausen's introduction of A-theory of spaces revolutionized the early study of pseudo-isotopy theory. Waldhausen proved that the A-theory of a manifold splits as its suspension spectrum and a factor Wh(M) whose first delooping is the space of stable h-cobordisms, and its second delooping is the space of stable pseudo-isotopies. I will describe a joint project ...

Stability in bounded cohomology for classical groups
Homological stability is a phenomenon that has been studied and established in the context of ordinary group homology for several infinite ascending series of groups. So far the only existing stability result known for bounded cohomology, by Monod, concerned the families of the general and special linear groups over any local field. In this talk ...

« Context-Aware Model Reduction »
Abstract: Traditional model reduction speeds up computations by replacing expensive high-fidelity models with low-cost reduced models. Thus, the goal of traditional model reduction is to construct reduced models that approximate well the high-fidelity models; however, reduced models are increasingly used together with high-fidelity models, which means that the primary purpose of reduced models becomes supporting ...

Stochastic Processes in Domains with Boundaries and Some of Their Financial Applications
In this talk we consider two connected problems: First, we study the classical problem of the first passage hitting density of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We give two complementary (forward and backward) formulations of this problem and provide semi-analytical solutions for both. The corresponding problems are comparable in complexity. By using the method of heat potentials, ...

Reductions of non-lc-ideals and non-$F$-pure ideals assuming weak ordinarity
Abstract: It has been known for several decades that there are close connections between certain classes of singularities in the Minimal Model Program over $\mathbb{C}$ and so-called $F$-singularities which are defined in positive characteristic via Frobenius. There is a more refined conjecture which relates multiplier ideal filtrations and test ideal filtrations. The triviality of certain ...

Dynamics, Geometry and Combinatorics
This workshop brings together dynamicists who use techniques from, and are motivated by, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory. The topics cover a broad swath of dynamics, including ergodic theory, homogeneous dynamics, symbolic dynamics, Teichmuller theory, and billiards, and the aim of the workshop is to highlight the common features across these subjects.
