In many harvested ecosystems, laws and regulations protect animals below a certain size from being killed. However, in species such as fish, it is often the large, old animals that represent the reproductive capital of a population, and that might need protection even more.

Late Lunch Talk by Malin Pinsky, Rutgers University, USA

The Bass-Quillen conjecture states that every vector bundle over A^n_R is

extended from Spec(R) for a regular noetherian ring R. In 1981, Lindel

proved that this conjecture has an affirmative solution when R is

essentially of finite type over a field. We will discuss an equivariant

version of this conjecture for the action of a reductive group.  When R =

C, this is called the equivariant Serre problem and has been studied by

authors like Knop, Kraft-Schwarz, Masuda-Moser-Jauslin-Petrie. In this

talk, we will be interested in the case when R is a more general regular

ring. This is based on joint work with Amalendu Krishna

Enrico Fermi and the birth of modern nonlinear physics

In the early fifties in Los Alamos E. Fermi in collaboration with J. Pasta and S. Ulam investigated a one dimensional chain of equal masses connected by a weakly nonlinear spring. The key question was related to the understanding of the phenomenon of conduction in solids; in particular they wanted to estimate the time needed to reach a statistical equilibrium state characterized by the equipartition of energy among the Fourier modes. They approached the problem numerically using the MANIAC I computer; however, the system did not thermailize and  they observed a recurrence to the initial state (this is known as the FPU-recurrence). This unexpected result has led to the development of the modern nonlinear physics (discovery of solitons and integrability). In this seminar, I will give an historical overview of the subject and present the different approaches that have been proposed in the last 60 years for explaining this paradox. Very recent results on the estimation of the time scale and on  the explanation of the mechanism of equipartition will also be discussed.

This Friday the journal club will discuss a paper by Gene Hunt and Graham Slater (2016): "Integrating Paleontological and Phylogenetic Approaches to Macroevolution" .

In Part 2 we will delve into the worlds of derived and spectral algebraic

geometry. After reviewing some basic notions we will explain how motivic

homotopy theory can be extended to these settings. As far as time permits

we will then discuss applications to virtual fundamental classes, as well

as a new cohomology theory for commutative ring spectra, a brave new

analogue of Weibel's KH

In this work we propose a new interesting channel for searching new physics at the LHC. This channel is connected to the diphoton channel via electroweak gauge symmetry of the Standard Model (SM). We discuss the possibility that an apparent diphoton signal is in fact produced by the 4-photon channel, where a pair of collimated photons is misidentified as 1 photon due to finite angular resolution of the detector. In this case we expect that the gauge symmetry of the SM connects the diphoton channel to three boson channels. Also we notice that the same mechanism could give an experimental signature of $Z\rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ decay, which is theoretically forbidden by the Landau-Yang theorem. For definiteness we illustrate these ideas using one of the models that was discussed to explain the recent 750 GeV resonance, even if the later signal was not confirmed.
