Title: Smoothness of isometries between subRiemannian manifolds
Abstract: In a joint work with Enrico Le Donne (Jyvaskyla, Finland), we show that the group of isometries (i.e., distance-preserving homeomorphisms) of an equiregular subRiemannian manifold is a finite-dimensional Lie group of smooth transformations. The proof is based on a new PDE argument, in the spirit of harmonic coordinates, establishing that in an arbitrary subRiemannian manifold there exists an open dense subset where all isometries are smooth.

Title: Higher-order analogues of the exterior derivative complex
Abstract: I will discuss some earlier joint work with E. M. Stein concerning div-curl type inequalities for the exterior derivative operator and its adjoint in Euclidean space R^n. I will then present various higher-order generalizations of the notion of exterior derivative, and discuss some recent div-curl type estimates for such operators. Part of this work is joint with A. Raich.

Title: On a thermodynamically consisted Stefan problem with variable surface energy
Abstract: Given a filtration of a simplicial complex we can construct a series of invariants called the persistent homology groups of the filtration. In this talk we will give a basic introduction to the theory of persistence and explain how these ideas can be used in data analysis.

Ready To Represent: UK will be in full force at the 37th Annual National Women's Studies Association Conference
90 miles to the north of Lexington on the banks of the Ohio River is the “The Queen City.” The nickname itself could probably be the topic of a panel discussion when the 37th annual meeting of the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA) rolls into town in early November.
