### Hai Wang — Multi-Objective Online Ride-Matching

Seminar | November 26 | 3:30-4:30 p.m. | 405 Soda Hall

Hai Wang, Carnegie Mellon University

Abstract: We propose a general framework to study the on-demand shared ride-sourcing transportation systems, and focus on the multi-objective matching between demand and supply. The platforms match passengers and drivers in real time without observing future information, considering multiple objectives such as pick-up time, platform revenue, and service quality. We develop an efficient online...   More >

### Harmonic Analysis and Differential Equations Student Seminar: Small data global regularity for simplified 3-D Ericksen-Leslie’s compressible hyperbolic liquid crystal model

Seminar | November 26 | 3:40-5 p.m. | 740 Evans Hall

Jiaxi Huang, USTC

Department of Mathematics

In this talk, we will consider the Ericksen-Leslie's hyperbolic system for compressible liquid crystal model in three spatial dimensions. Global regularity for small and smooth initial data near equilibrium is proved for the case that the system is a nonlinear coupling of compressible Navier-Stokes equations with wave map to $\mathbb { S }^2$. Our argument is a combination of vector field method...   More >

### Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry: The Fellowship of the Ring: Finding local summands

Seminar | November 26 | 3:45-4:45 p.m. | 939 Evans Hall

Mengyuan Zhang, UC Berkeley

Department of Mathematics

The theory of basic elements developed by Eisenbud-Evans is concerned with finding local free summands of a module. A modification of the arguments by Bruns allows one to find local free summands up to a given codimension (or depth). In this expository talk, we discuss this problem in the graded case, where the degrees of the free local summands give extra structure not present in the affine...   More >

### Effect of surfaces and osmolytes in modulating peptide assembly

Seminar | November 26 | 4-5 p.m. | 120 Latimer Hall

Joan-Emma Shea, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, UC Santa Barbara

College of Chemistry

Intrinsically disordered peptides are a special class of proteins that do not fold to a unique three-dimensional shape. These proteins play important roles in the cell, from signaling to serving as structural scaffolds. Under pathological conditions, these proteins are capable of self-assembling into structures that are toxic to the cell, and a number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as...   More >

### Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry: The Fellowship of the Ring: Moduli Spaces of Toric Vector Bundles

Seminar | November 26 | 5-6 p.m. | 939 Evans Hall

Lauren Heller, UC Berkeley

Department of Mathematics

I will discuss Klyachko's classification of toric vector bundles with given equivariant Chern class, as well as the application of this classification to the construction of moduli spaces, as described by Sam Payne. As an example, I will illustrate the possibilities for rank 2 vector bundles on $\mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1$.
