Emergent behaviors in multi-cellular tumor progression including micro-environmental interactions anunciado. Atención: Seminario suspendido por razones de fuerza mayor
Abstract:
Atención: Seminario suspendido por razones de fuerza mayor

We present a mathematical approach that captures and explores a wide range of mechanisms and biological variability in tumor progression to better understand the orchestrate multiple phenomena in cancer dynamics. In this respect, Mathematical Biology is needed to promote the realization of modeling platforms that facilitate the discovery of novel biological phenomena, rules, and theories. Therefore, the main goal of this presentation corresponds to discuss the analysis of a mathematical model that represents a multi-cellular chemotaxis-haptotaxis interaction in Cancer progression. The main novelty consists in applying the non-linear analysis of parabolic-elliptic system and numerical approximation to describe the micro-environment effects over tumor progression.

El modelo de superconductividad de Ginzburg-Landau
Abstract:
La superconductividad es un fenómeno que ha atraído muchísima atención desde su descubrimiento en 1911 por Onnes. Sus dos características más llamativas son la posibilidad de circulación de corrientes eléctricas sin disipación y la levitación superconductora mediante la expulsión de un campo magnético aplicado. En 1950 Ginzburg y Landau propusieron un modelo fenomenológico para su estudio, el cual ha sido tremendamente exitoso, con varios premios Nobel otorgados por su análisis. En presencia de un campo magnético aplicado, este modelo predice exitosamente la aparición en un superconductor de tipo II de defectos topológicos cuantizados denominados vórtices (similares a los de dinámica de fluidos). En este coloquio describiremos el comportamiento de superconductores de tipo II en diferentes regímenes de intensidad de un campo magnético aplicado y mostraremos las principales herramientas matemáticas para analizar el número e interacción de sus correspondientes vórtices.

La teoría de Ramsey y los ataques alienígenas
Abstract:
La teoría de Ramsey es un área muy interesante de la matemática. Es llamativo ver cómo hace relación a temas tan diversos como buscar polígonos convexos en conjuntos de puntos y progresiones monótonas. Es aún más asombroso ver cómo aparece involucrada en matrimonios y ataques alienígenas. En esta charla daremos una breve introducción a algunos de sus resultados y comentaremos acerca de otras vertientes para seguir leyendo.

Complex multiplication - old and new
Abstract:
The theory of complex multiplication is more than a century old; its origins date back to Klein, Hilbert, Kummer, Weber, Deuring and many others. It has been instrumental in the development of class field theory and algebraic number theory. Yet, more than a century later we find new theorems that are truly surprising.
I will start with this historical perspective and try to position some of these new developments in the light of the André-Oort conjecture - a conjecture in the area of Shimura varieties that was recently resolved by Tsimerman, building on ideas of Edixhoven, Pila, Wilkie and Zannier. The resolution rests on the averaged Colmez conjecture, a conjecture that addresses the arithmetic complexity of abelian varieties with complex multiplication, which was proved by Andreatta-Howard-Madapusi Pera and the speaker, and, independently, by Yuan-Zhang.

On the Support of Yao-based Random Ordered Partitions for Change-Point Analysis
Abstract:

In Bayesian change-point analysis for univariate time series, prior distributions on the set of ordered partitions play a key role for change-point detection. In this context, mixtures of product partition models based on Yao's cohesion are very popular due to their tractability and simplicity. However, how flexible are these prior processes to describe different beliefs about the number and locations of change-points? In this talk I will address the previous question in terms of its weak support.

Some isoperimetric problems in the Euclidean space with density
Abstract:
We will discuss the isoperimetric problem for factorized measures obtained as perturbations of the Gaussian and the anti-Gaussian, respectively. Among other things, we will show that some isoperimetric problems, for which balls centered at the origin are stable, have no solutions.Time permitting, some applications, like, for instance, Faber-Krahn type inequalities will be presented too.

Lambda-buildings associated to quasi-split groups over Lambda-valued fields
Abstract:
Let $\Lambda$ be a totally ordered abelian group and let $K$ be a Henselian $\Lambda$-valued field. Let $G$ be a quasi-split reductive group over $K$. In 1972, Bruhat and Tits constructed a building on which the group $G(K)$ acts provided that $\Lambda$ is a subgroup of the real numbers. In this talk, we will deal with the general case where there are no assumptions on $\Lambda$ and construct a $\Lambda$-building in the sense of Bennett on which $G(K)$ acts.

Quadratic forms and diophantine sets
Abstract:
The interplay between valuations and certain geometrically rational varieties, in particular quadrics, has turned out to be very fruitful for proving that certain subsets of fields are existentially definable or diophantine. In particular, this has been used by J. Koenigsmann to prove that $\mathbb{Q}\backslash \mathbb{Z}$ is diophantine in $\mathbb{Q}$. His proof combines several ingredients from classical number theory, involving in particular the Hasse-Minkowski local-global principle for quadratic forms. In my talk I want to highlight some ingredients of proofs for showing that certain subsets of fields are diophantine and some interesting questions for quadratic forms arising from this context.

Respondent-Driven Sampling: Challenges and Opportunities
Abstract:
Respondent-driven sampling leverages social networks to sample hard-to-reach human populations, including among those who inject drugs, sexual minority, sex worker, and migrant populations.  As with other link-tracing sampling strategies, sampling involves recruiting a small convenience sample, who invite their contacts into the sample, and in turn invite their contacts until the desired sample size is reached. Typically, the sample is used to estimate prevalence, though multivariable analyses of data collected through respondent-driven sampling are becoming more common. Although respondent-driven sampling may allow for quickly attaining large and varied samples, its reliance on social network contacts, participant recruitment decisions, and self-report of ego-network size makes it subject to several concerns for statistical inference.  After introducing respondent-driven sampling I will discuss how these data are actually being collected and analyzed, and opportunities for statisticians to improve upon this widely-adopted method.

FATSO: Una familia de operadores para selección de variables en modelos lineales
Abstract:
En modelos lineales es común encontrarse con situaciones donde varios de los coeficientes de regresión son 0. En estas situaciones, una herramienta común es un operador de selección de variables de tipo "sparsity promoting". El más común de estos operadores es el LASSO, el cual promueve estimaciones en 0. Sin embargo, el LASSO y sus derivados dan poco en términos de parámetros fácilmente interpretables para controlar el grado de selectividad. En esta plática se propondrá una nueva familia de operadores de selección, la cual toma como base la geometría del LASSO, pero que tienen forma analítica distinta, y que dan una manera fácilmente interpretable de controlar el grado de selectividad. Estos operadores corresponden con densidades a priori propias, y por ende se pueden usar para hacer inferencia Bayesiana.

On the Kudla-Rapoport conjecture
Abstract:
The classical Siegel-Weil formula relates certain Siegel Eisenstein series with quadratic forms, namely expressing special values of these series as theta functions --- generating series of representation numbers of quadratic forms. The influential program of Kudla aims to establish the arithmetic Siegel-Weil formula, which relates the derivative of certain Siegel Eisenstein series with generating series from arithmetic geometry. We will report a proof of the Kudla-Rapoport conjecture, and discuss its application to L-functions such as generalizations of the Gross-Zagier formula to higher dimension. This is joint work with Wei Zhang.

Elliptic curves and Goldfeld's conjecture
Abstract:

An elliptic curve is a plane curve defined by a cubic equation. Determining whether such an equation has infinitely many rational solutions has been a central problem in number theory for centuries, which lead to the celebrated conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer. Within a family of elliptic curves (such as the Mordell curve family $y^2=x^3+d$), a conjecture of Goldfeld further predicts that there should be infinitely many rational solutions exactly half of the time. We will start with a history of this problem, discuss our joint work with D. Kriz towards Goldfeld's conjecture and illustrate the key ideas and ingredients behind these new progresses.

Compactifications of moduli spaces of algebraic varieties
Abstract:
In algebraic geometry, an algebraic variety is a geometric object defined
by polynomial equations. The space of parameters for a family of algebraic
varieties may also be an algebraic variety called a moduli space. In this
talk oriented to a general audience, I will motivate the study of
compactifications of moduli spaces, focusing on the case of moduli of
polarized K3 surfaces. The original results (joint works with Moon and
Gallardo-Kerr) concern the study of a family of K3 surfaces arising from
eight points in the projective line, and the interplay between different
compactifications of such family coming from Geometric Invariant Theory,
Hodge Theory, and the Minimal Model Program.
