Speaker: Dr.Liangbing Luo,Queen’s University Title: Discrete Approximation on Metric Measure Spaces of Controlled Geometry via Graphs: Dirichlet Forms and Harmonic Functions Abstract:

Based on the approximation of a metric measure space via discrete graphs, we construct a Dirichlet form. This Dirichlet form is comparable to the upper gradient energy and can be realized as a -limit of a sequence of induced bilinear forms projected from the discrete energy form on the approximating graphs. Moreover, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Based on joint work with A. Butaev and N. Shanmugalingam.

In collaboration with leading venture capital firms, OIST Innovation offers startups and entrepreneurial researchers or students the opportunity to connect directly with venture capitalists for one-on-one mentoring and discussion. Each round begins with an open seminar-style introduction, where participants can learn about the VC firm's investment focus and characteristics. This is followed by private, closed-door mentoring sessions between startups/researchers/students and the VC representatives.

The featured VC for this round is HERO IMPACT CAPITAL .

Open Seminar (English only) 13:00-14:00

Eigenvalues/vectors of tensors are a modern concept extending those of matrices. They appear in various non-linear contexts, such as spin glasses, general relativity, artificial intelligence, quantum information theory, string theory, and so on, while the matrix counterpart in linear-contexts. Understanding universal properties across various tensor eigen problems is important, since this assures their wide applicability. I talk about our recent finding of a universality of tensor eigenvalue/vector distributions, which has been achieved by systematically computing them using quantum field theoretical techniques.
