SUMMARY:Buildings - What they are and some of their uses
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Allen Moy\, University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong\n\nThe notion of a building is a simplicial complex introduced by Jacques Tits to study simple algebraic groups over arbitrary fields. We give a brief introduction to buildings and then describe some of their uses.

SUMMARY:Distinguishability via Uncertainty Principle for inverse Scattering
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gang Bao\, Michigan State\n\nThe inverse scattering problem arises in diverse areas of industrial and military applications, such as nondestructive testing, seismic imaging, submarine detections, near-field or subsurface imaging, and medical imaging. A general model is concerned with a time-harmonic electromagnetic plane wave …

SUMMARY:Price Bubbles from Heterogeneous Beliefs
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert V. Kohn\, Courant Institute, NYU\n\nHarrison and Kreps showed in 1978 how the heterogeneity of investor beliefs can drive speculation, leading the price of an asset to exceed its intrinsic value. By focusing on an extremely simple market model -- a finite-state Markov chain -- the analysis of Harrison and Kreps achieved great clarity …

SUMMARY:Theunitarydualoftherationalpointsofarealorp-adiclinearreductivegroup
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dan Barbasch\, Cornell\n\nWhile maybe as hard to parse, sadly it is not as catchy as Mark Twain's "Constantinopolitanischerdudelsackspfeifenmachersgesellschafft". In the 1930's I.M. Gelfand outlined a program of abstract harmonic analysis, which offered a paradigm for the use of symmetry to study a very wide class of …
