Geometry and Topology of 3-manifolds Workshop
OIST Workshop - Preliminary Application Deadline: Dec 20, 2017 - OIST members are welcome to attend all scientific sessions - Website: https://groups.oist.jp/manifolds/workshop
[Public Lecture] "Comparing shapes of genus zero" by Prof Joel Hass (UC Davis)
Prof Joel Hass (University of California, Davis) is presenting a public lecture on "Comparing shapes of genus zero". This talk is aimed at a general scientific audience. All are welcome to attend.
Abstract: Almost everything we encounter in our 3-dimensional world is a surface - the outside of a solid object. Moreover there is an explosive increase in the availability of digitized representations of surfaces in 3D. Comparing the shapes of surfaces is, not surprisingly, a fundamental problem in both theoretical and applied mathematics. Facial recognition, drug design and much of radiology, for example, are concerned with comparing and aligning surfaces. Deep mathematical results are now being used to study objects such as bones, brain cortices, proteins and biomolecules by studying their surface geometry. This talk will discuss recent joint work with Patrice Koehl that introduces a new way to align and compare surfaces, and how well it performs relative to other methods and to human experts.
"Beyond the Thomas-Fermi approximation Inhomogeneity corrections without a gradient expansion" Berthold-Georg Englert
Professor Berthold-Georg Englert, Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore
Abstruct Since von Weizsäcker's first attempt in 1935 at improving on the Thomas-Fermi approximation for many-fermion systems, there has been much effort in studying systematic gradient expansions. I'll discuss an alternative approach that exploits approximate factorizations of the unitary evolution operator. Rather than differentiating the effective potential energy at the reference position, as one does in the gradient-expansion method, one now integrates over a vicinity of the reference point. As a bonus of theses investigations, one also obtains highly accurate algorithms for dealing with Hamilton's equations of motion in classical phase space and the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at the seminar! Quantum Systems Unit

[Topology and Geometry Seminar] “Cusps and alternating knots" by Prof Jessica Purcell (Monash University)
The seminar aims to introduce research topics in topology, geometry and its interactions with other sciences. Anyone interested in mathematics is welcome to attend.
Alternating knots are some of the simplest knots to describe, and they occur frequently in low crossing knot tables. Most alternating knots have a complement that admits a hyperbolic metric: a metric with constant curvature -1. However, it is difficult to relate the hyperbolic geometry of these knots to their diagrams, and there are several open conjectures on possible relationships. In this talk, Jessica Purcell (Professor at Monash University, Melbourne) will address one such conjecture, concerning cusp volume.

[Topology and Geometry Seminar] “Cusp shape and tunnel number (part 2)" by Prof Jessica Purcell (Monash University)
The seminar aims to introduce research topics in topology, geometry and its interactions with other sciences. Anyone interested in mathematics is welcome to attend.
Associated to a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold is a cusp shape, which is a point in the Teichmuller space of the torus. It is natural to ask which points in Teichmuller space arise. This is the second talk on this topic by Jessica Purcell (Professor at Monash University, Melbourne).
