Tristan Rivière (Institute for Mathematical Research, ETH Zurich) to give colloquium at 3:00pm on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 in Eckhart 206
How much does it cost...to knot a closed simple curve? To cover the sphere twice? To realize such or such homotopy class ? ...etc. All these questions consisting of assigning a "canonical" number and possibly an optimal "shape" to a given topological operation are known to be mathematically very rich and to bring together notions and techniques from topology, geometry and analysis.

Pierre-Louis Lions (Collège de France) to give PSD divisional colloquium at 4pm on Friday, February 1, 2019 in Kent 120
Mean Field Games (MFG) are recent mathematical models that aim to describe the collective behavior of a large number of agents/players. We shall briefly present in this talk some motivation and a few applications to economics, crowd motion, mobile communication networks, and machine learning. Without going into any (technical) mathematical detail, the existing mathematical toolbox will be described together with some recent developments and perspectives.
