ALGEBRA SEMINAR
TIME: 3:35 - 4:25 p.m.
ROOM: Ayres B004
SPEAKER: Mr. Vajira Manathunga
TITLE: Arithmetic progressions in a UFD
Manathunga will present examples of Arithmetic sequences in a UFD for which the generalized Pillai-16-theorem fails.

PROBABILITY SEMINAR
TIME: 3:35 - 4:25 p.m.
ROOM: Ayres 112
SPEAKER: Prof. Xia Chen
TITLE: Long term asymptotics for the Brownian motion in the time-space fractional white noise, cont.
ABSTRACT: The large-time limit for the Brownian motion in the time-space fractional white noise is established in this talk. In addition, this paper proposes an interesting link between quenched and annealed limits for the Brownian motions of Gaussian potentials.

MATH BIOLOGY SEMINAR
TIME: 10:10 - 11:00 a.m.
ROOM: Dabney 488
SPEAKER: Mr. Joe Hughes and Mr. Zachary Smith
TITLE: Introduction to R and data (Chapter 5/6 of Bolker's book)

Friday, October 26

COLLOQUIUM
TIME: 3:35 - 4:30 p.m.
ROOM: Ayres 405
SPEAKER: Prof. Krzysztof Bogdan, Wroclaw University of Technology, Polish Academy of Sciences and Stanford University
TITLE: Jump-type random processes and nonlocal boundary value problems
ABSTRACT: We will discuss estimates of harmonic functions, Green function and heat kernel of the fractional Laplacian and related operators on domains. The results are obtained by analysis of jumps and first exit times from domains for the corresponding Markov processes, most notably for the isotropic stable Levy process. This will be a survey of results and experience accumulated in the last 15 years by the speaker and collaborators, which may shed some light on Dirichlet conditions for nonlocal operators.

Refreshments will be available at 3:15 p.m.
