Olli Saarela (Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, CAN) will give a talk on September 24th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Abstract:  "The study of foliations falls largely into two parts: One can study the leaf geometry or one can study transversally elliptic operators. The leaf geometry consists of studying the individual submanifolds and how they lie within the manifold. On the other hand, the study of transversally elliptic operators was initiated in the seminal work of Atiyah. This talk will be arranged as follows: The first part will be an introduction to Riemannian foliations and transverse geometry, and the second part is a survey of the results on transversally elliptic operators, foliated gauge theory and some recent work."  

Nicola Sartori (Department of Statistical Sciences, University of Padova, ITA) will give a talk on September 17th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Title: Modeling the drift and radar backscatter signature of icebergs, by Ron Saper, Carleton University, Canada. 

Abstract: Icebergs are a source of wonder and mystery, and hide many mysteries that remain to be solved. In the quest to observe icebergs remotely and predict their behaviour, many difficulties are encountered and, at every turn, we find the expectations of engineers and researchers are frustrated. In this wide-ranging talk the many misconceptions and fallacies about icebergs are surveyed and analyzed, and their impact on scientific research and practice are explained and reflected upon. Examples are drawn from iceberg drift forecasting, remote sensing, and iceberg tracking studies.

You are cordially invited to an afternoon of three seminar talks on recent topics in stochastic analysis in high dimensions. The talks take place at the Wolfgang Pauli Institute in Vienna, Austria (https://www.wpi.ac.at).

Jesse Hemerik (Department of Biostatistics, University of Oslo) will give a talk on August 20th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Johannes Lederer (Faculty of Mathematics, Ruhr-Universität of Bochum, GER) will give a talk on June 21st at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Colloidal particles at an interface have numerous applications to emulsion and foam stability, self-assembly and material fabrication and processing. while their dynamics involves issues of drag and diffusion, heterogeneity and interfacial pinning. Furthermore, for nanoparticles whose size may be  comparable to the width of the interface, continuum modeling may break  down. We show how molecular dynamics simulations of atomically-resolved  homogeneous and Janus nanoparticle systems can address these issues and  provide an understanding of hydrodynamic drag variation and hysteretic  phenomena in this situation.

Dr. Asma Khedher from University of Amsterdam will give a lecture with the following title:

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes and affine stochastic volatility models in Hilbert spaces

This lecture is the second of a mini-course consisting of seven lectures given by Professor Robert Bruner (Wayne State University, Detroit, USA), the author of the package.  Early lectures will focus on the use of the software.  Later lectures will describe the algorithms, data structures, and file structures.  

Andrey Mudrov (University of Leicester, United Kingdom) will give a talk titled: Pseudo-parabolic categories over HP_qⁿ

This lecture is the first of a mini-course consisting of seven lectures given by Professor Robert Bruner (Wayne State University, Detroit, USA), the author of the package.  Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptops and do the calculations in real time with the speaker.
