Seminars and short courses RSS feed

Seminars, for informal dissemination of research results, exploratory work by research teams, outreach activities, etc., constitute the simplest form of meetings at a Mathematics research centre.

CAMGSD has recorded the calendar of its seminars for a long time, this page serving both as a means of public announcement of forthcoming activities but also as a historic record.

Topological Quantum Field Theory

Thiago Paiva, Beijing University.

By Alexander's theorem, every link in the 3-sphere can be represented as the closure of a braid. Lorenz links and twisted torus links are two families that have been extensively studied and are well-described in terms of braids. In this talk, we will present a natural generalization of Lorenz links and twisted torus links that produces all links in the 3-sphere. This provides a simpler braid description for all links in the 3-sphere.

Lisbon WADE — Webinar in Analysis and Differential Equations

José Carlos Bellido, Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha.

In this talk, we address the localization of general nonlocal functionals of double-integral type with fractional dependence on the state variable, inspired by peridynamics. Localization is carried out as the interaction horizon among particles tends to zero. As a main result, we obtain an explicit formulation of the local $Γ$-limit, also covering the vectorial case. Applications of this result to nonlinear elasticity and the p-Laplacian eigenvalue problem will be discussed.
