| \\ \\ | \\ \\ | ||
| <WRAP box 80%> | <WRAP box 80%> | ||
| - | **//Abstract//**: | + | **//Abstract//**: With broad applications in biology, physics, and material science, including tumor growth and fluid interface dynamics, the Hele-Shaw problem with surface tension provides a canonical model for studying the dynamics of evolving interfaces. Solving such problems requires precise treatment of sharp boundaries. However, constructing a global parameterization for complicated surfaces and explicitly tracking boundary motion is challenging. In this work, we present a geometric local parameterization approach for efficiently solving the two-dimensional Hele-Shaw problems, where the boundary is identified only from randomly sampled data. Through convergence and error analysis, as well as numerical experiments, we demonstrate the capability and effectiveness of our approach in resolving complex interface evolution. |

| - | **//Abstract//**: | + | **//Abstract//**: We consider the Anderson Hamiltonian (AH) and the parabolic Anderson model (PAM) with white noise and Dirichlet boundary condition on a bounded planar domain $D\subset\mathbb R^2$. We compute the small-$t$ asymptotics of the AH's exponential trace up to order $O(\log t)$, and of the PAM's mass up to order $O(t\log t)$. |
| + | Applications of our main result include the following: | ||
| + | |||
| + | (i) If the boundary $\partial D$ is sufficiently regular, then $D$'s area and $\partial D$'s length can both be recovered almost surely from a single observation of the AH's eigenvalues. | ||
| + | (ii) If $D$ is simply connected and $\partial D$ is fractal, then $\partial D$'s Minkowski dimension (if it exists) | ||
| + | can be recovered almost surely from the PAM's small-$t$ asymptotics. | ||
| + | |||
| + | (iii) The variance of the white noise can be recovered almost surely from a single observation of the AH's eigenvalues. | ||

| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: Joint moments of characteristic polynomials of unitary random matrices and their derivatives have gained attention over the last 25 years, partly due to their conjectured relation to the Riemann zeta function. In this talk, we will consider the asymptotics of these moments in the most general setting allowing for derivatives of arbitrary order, generalising previous work that considered only the first derivative. Along the way, we will examine how exchangeable arrays and integrable systems play a crucial role in understanding the statistics of a class of infinite Hermitian random matrices.

| - | \\ \\ | ||
| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: Iosevich and Wyman have proved that the remainder term in classical Weyl law can be improved from $O(\lambda^{d-1})$ to $o(\lambda^{d-1})$ in the case of product manifold by using a famous result of Duistermaat and Guillemin. They also showed that we could have polynomial improvement in the special case of Cartesian product of round spheres by reducing the problem to the study of the distribution of weighted integer lattice points. In this paper, we show that we can extend this result to the case of Cartesian product of Zoll manifolds by investigating the eigenvalue clusters of Zoll manifold and reducing the problem to the study of the distribution of weighted integer lattice points too. | ||

| \\ \\ | \\ \\ | ||
| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: Differential Harnack bounds are a key analytical device that bridge partial differential equations of the elliptic or parabolic type with Harnack bounds, which provide pointwise estimates on the local variability of solutions. A prime example is the famous Li-Yau inequality, which applies to positive solutions of the classical heat equation. | + | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: |
| - | The growing interest in the theory and applications of nonlocal diffusion models naturally raises questions about analogues of Li-Yau-type inequalities in the nonlocal setting. However, despite many parallels between local and nonlocal diffusion models, even the model case of fractional heat flow presents both conceptual and technical challenges. | ||
| - | In my talk, I will discuss recent progress on optimal differential Harnack bounds for fractional heat flow. In particular, I will show how the structural properties of these estimates offer new insights into classical results for the standard heat equation. | ||

| \\ \\ | \\ \\ | ||
| - | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: The goal of Hodge theory is to relate the de Rham cohomology of a compact manifold, which is essentially a topological object, with precise information regarding the differentiation of differential forms on the manifold. One elegant way to do this is to employ pseudodifferential operators. These are operators that generalize the notion of a differential operator, motivated by the Fourier transform. | + | <WRAP box 80%> **//Abstract//**: |

| - | First, we will develop the theory of pseudodifferential operators on Euclidean space. This involves, for example, proving properties regarding the taking of adjoints, of composing two operators, etc. We will prove the existence of a pseudo-inverse, or a parametrix, for elliptic differential operators. Next, we will translate this theory from Euclidean space to compact manifolds. We will then give a precise description of the de Rham cohomology (and more!) using the parametrix construction for elliptic operators on the manifold. | ||
