Mathematics Colloquium - Gabor Szekelyhidi; Northwestern University
Title: Singularities of generic mean curvature flows
Abstract: Surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow in R3 can develop rather complicated singularities. However, it was conjectured by Huisken that generically only very simple singularities can form. This conjecture was recently resolved by works of Chodosh-Choi-Mantoulidis-Schulze and Bamler-Kleiner. I will discuss these results, as well as what more we can say.
Professor Szekelyhidi is given a special lecture on some of the introductory...
Public Observing Night - Van Allen Observatory
Please join the University of Iowa Physics & Astronomy Department as we use the Van Allen Observatory and small telescopes to tour the spring sky. To attend this Astronomy observation session, follow the signs in Van Allen Hall to the east elevator to reach the roof.
A History of the Telescope - presented by Gavin Frueh & Jacob Payne; Graduate Students; Department of Physics and Astronomy
Please join us for the Astronomy Public Talk series, where we host short, accessible talks on a wide range of astronomy and physics-related topics—free and open to the public! This event will feature a presentation by UI Physics and Astronomy graduate students Gavin Frueh and Jacob Payne, who will share a brief history of the telescope. A public observing session at the Van Allen Observatory will immediately follow this talk, weather permitting.
