Cobalt Hydrogenation: New Insights on an Old Project

When projects do not work as we originally hope, it can be frustrating, and often we are left wondering what we missed. Sometimes the inspiration for continuing forward is found in a tangled mess of results published by another group. I will show you how this study of cobalt complexes for the hydrogenation of small molecules came about and how we overcame initial results that were in contrast to experimental findings. We will laugh. We will cry. We might even get angry...but we will succeed!

Numerically Converged Hyperfine Coupling Constants The HyperFine Coupling Constant (HFCC) is one of the most challenging molecular properties to compute in terms of basis set convergence. This is due to the explicit dependence on the spin density at the nuclear position, where most basis sets in chemistry are known to be inadequate (even the highly adaptive and systematic multiwavelet basis). In this talk I will discuss different ways of circumventing this by rewriting the problem.

Patient-Specific Computational Modeling of Cardiac Mechanics

Douglas Lundholm, KTH Stockholm

Quantum systems confined to planar geometries may exhibit effective particles with unusual statistics, known as anyons. These can be modeled as identical particles (either bosons or fermions) in 2D with magnetic flux attached to them, resulting in a notoriously difficult many-body problem. I plan to review some recent progress on understanding the basic properties of the anyon gas, including its emergence in the fractional quantum Hall setting, the validity of an average-field description for almost-bosonic anyons, as well as rigorous estimates for the ground-state energy of the ideal and the extended gas. The talk will be based on work in collaborations with M. Correggi, R. Duboscq, S. Larson, V. Qvarfordt, N. Rougerie, R. Seiringer and J. P. Solovej.

Emerging instabilities and bifurcations from deformable fluid interfaces in the inertialess regime 

In this talk, I will present two studies regarding the dynamics of droplets in the creeping flow, focusing on the arising instability and bifurcation phenomena. The first work investigates a buoyancy-driven droplet translating in a quiescent environment and the second a particle-encapsulating droplet in shear flow. There-dimensional simulations based on versatile boundary integral methods were employed to explore the intriguing instability and bifurcation phenomena in the inertialess flow. In the first work, a non-modal stability analysis was performed to predict the critical condition of instability; and in the second, a dynamic system approach was adopted to model and characterize the interacting bifurcations.

Christofaro will talk about the role of redundancy in control and estimation of dynamical systems. 

Elizabeth Gillaspy from the University of Montana at Missoula, USA, will give a talk with title " Finite decomposition rank and strong quasidiagonality for virtually nilpotent groups "

Abstract: In joint work with Caleb Eckhardt and Paul McKenney, we show that the C*-algebras of discrete, finitely generated, virtually nilpotent groups G are strongly quasidiagonal and have finite decomposition rank. Thus, the only remaining step required to show that primitive quotients of such virtually nilpotent groups G are classified by their Elliott invariant is to check that these C*-algebras satisfy the UCT. Our proof of finite decomposition rank relies on a careful analysis of the relationship between primitive ideals of C*(G) and those of C*(N), where N is a finite-index normal subgroup of G. In the case when N is also nilpotent, we obtain a decomposition of C*(G) as a continuous field of twisted crossed products, which enables us to prove finite decomposition rank of C*(G) by analyzing the decomposition rank of the fibers.
