We discuss how the closed connected 1-dimensional manifold, namely the circle, can help understanding 3-manifolds. We describe so-called the universal circle proposed by a lengendary mathematician, William Thurston, and discuss certain gene...
Since Belavin, Polyakov, and Zamolodchikov introduced conformal field theory as an operator algebra formalism which relates some conformally invariant critical clusters in two-dimensional lattice models to the representation theory of Viraso...
Anomalous diffusions and fractional order differential equations
Anomalous diffusion phenomenon has been observed in many natural systems, from the signalling of biological cells, to the foraging behaviour of animals, to the travel times of contaminants in groundwater. In this talk, I will first discuss t...

There are three Bieberbach theorems on flat Riemannian manifolds; characterization, rigidity and finiteness. These extend to almost flat manifolds. We discuss characterization, rigidity and finiteness of infra-nilmanifolds (almost flat manif...
The general theory implies that the distribution of an irreducible Markov chain converges to its stationary distribution as time diverges to infinity. The speed of corresponding convergence is a significant issue in the study of mathematical...
Symplectic geometry has one of its origins in Hamiltonian dynamics. In the late 60s Arnold made a fundamental conjecture about the minimal number of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian vector fields. This is a far-reaching generalization of Poinc...
In late 1970's John McKay discovered the astonishing identity 196884=196883+1, which lead Conway and Norton to formulate the famous Monstrous Moonshine conjectures about the Monster group, the largest sporadic finite simple group. The simple...
Mathematical Models and Intervention Strategies for Emerging Infectious Diseases: MERS, Ebola and 2009 A/H1N1 Influenza
Emerging infectious diseases have long been recognized as a continuous, inevitable, unpredictable threat to the global public health. Hence, understanding the underlying dynamics why they spread and what causes epidemics gives key ideas of i...
Convex and non-convex optimization methods in image processing
In this talk, we discuss some results of convex and non-convex optimization methods in image processing. Examples including image colorization, blind decovolution and impulse noise removal are presented to demonstrate these methods. Their a...

Creation of concepts for prediction models and quantitative trading
Modern mathematics with axiomatic systems has been developed to create a complete reasoning system. This was one of the most exciting mathematical experiments. However, even after the failure of the experiment, mathematical research is still...
<학부생을 위한 ɛ 강연> Introduction to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations
In this talk, I will briefly introduce some properties of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Then, I will review some classical results obtained by harmonic analysis tools.
A hyperplane arrangement is an arrangement of a finite set of hyperplanes in some vector space. Hyperplane arrangements generalize other famous combinatorial objects such as graphs and matroids. In this talk, we introduce a characteristic po...
