TSVP Talk: "Degenerate PDEs and Their Underlying Sub-Riemannian Structure" by Federica Dragoni

In the talk, I will show how PDEs, which may appear highly degenerate at first glance, become far more regular when interpreted within a different underlying geometry. In particular, I will focus on PDEs related to the so-called Hörmander regularity theory, which is connected to sub-Riemannian geometries such as the Heisenberg group and Carnot groups. The aim is to provide an overview of this theory that is accessible to a broad scientific audience; therefore, I will mostly concentrate on simple yet significant examples.

Outreach event by Prof. Federica Dragoni: Math&Board Game Evening

Subject: Upcoming Social Event: Math Outreach & Board Game Night!

Hi everyone,

Are you interested in math education, school outreach, or just looking for a fun break between lectures?

You are warmly invited to an informal social gathering centered on Math Outreach and Board Games, hosted by visiting scientist Professor Federica Dragoni (Cardiff University).

This is a casual space for PhD students, young researchers, and senior staff to hang out, talk about innovative teaching approaches, and—most importantly—play some games!

※Since the venue isn't very large, if there are a large number of participants, admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis.※

What to expect:

• The Games: We will have a curated mix of popular commercial board games alongside custom mathematical games designed by students.
• The Goal: Play, test things out, and get inspired by how games can be used as serious tools to share mathematics with schools and the public.
• The Vibe: Completely informal. Grab a drink/snack, join a table, and chat freely with peers and faculty.

Whether you want to brainstorm your next outreach project or just want to roll some dice and talk math, we hope to see you there!
