It's working here. Please be more specific, Kurt:
What are your search terms and settings?
What browser/OS?
Sat 29 Dec 2007
Ben-after reading your post i tried it on my PC using firefox and it worked, which it wasnt' on a Mac osX with Safari.
so, i guess it's working. kinda.
you know what would be handy? being able to search posts by people who wrote them. just a thought.
Sun 30 Dec 2007
I think I asked the same thing a while ago. It would be great b/c sometimes I remember that someone, let's say Kurt Engfehr, posted something important a while back about, let's say, the art of filming roadrunners. Then I could just punch in "Kurt" and "roadrunner" and it would narrow down the postings immensely. Currently it only seems to search the name if it's mentioned in the post. Though I suppose the workaround is we could all start signing our posts. The other thing I find odd is that, when we do search a keyword, it brings up the posts in no particular order. It would be great if it could bring them up in chronological order, starting with the most recent. That way I could at least get recent roadrunner discussions and not ones had in 1999.
(no roadrunners were harmed in the making of this post)
Sun 30 Dec 2007
Sun 30 Dec 2007
Search results are ordered by relevance. And tagged postings come first.
Just tag whatever posts you find useful, and you'll easily find them again without any need for a search.
And: this is the Beta.
Sun 30 Dec 2007
How does it determine relevance if you only have one keyword? Also isn't it searching on all tags, not just mine? Or is it only searching on my tags?
P.S. For a Beta, D-Word is amazing. No major complaints. Just suggestions for the next version if and when it comes.

In a federal court hearing set for later this week, accused Nazi holocaust guard Peter Egner, 88, of Bellevue, will ask that the government end its attempt to denaturalize and deport him to Serbia for a war-crimes trial: He committed no wrongdoing, he says in new court statements. But U.S. prosecutors, in documents filed yesterday, say that Egner's motion for summary judgment and dismissal are unwarranted: "Simply put," say Justice Department attorneys in a filing, "Defendant is wrong." And, prosecutors add, they finally have his own truthful statements as evidence against him.
The detainees were reportedly killed in the mobile chambers as they were moved to Jajinci, outside Belgrade. There, bodies were dumped into a number of mass graves.
He denies the charges and seeks to have them thrown out, avoiding a January hearing to send him back to Serbia, whose government has issued a warrant for his arrest. He is considered one of a dozen important Nazi war criminals still wanted by authorities.
Previously, Egner claimed he was but a grunt in the German army. He now admits to being a transport guard on a train bound for Auschwitz, taking Gypsy men, women and children to their likely deaths. Prosecutors are using that and other evidence to deflect his bid to get the case thrown out.
Facts in the court record that are not disputed, says the U.S., now include:
- Egner volunteered for and served with the German Security Police and Security Service (a unit Egner himself describes as "hated") from 1941 to 1945, where he received two promotions to SS non-commissioned officer ranks.
- Armed with a gun, Egner personally performed guard service to prevent escapes during no less than four forcible transports of prisoners, families among them, who were held in a crowded box car and not allowed off to eat or use sanitation facilities.
- He rode transports to the Semlin Concentration Camp outside of Belgrade and to Avala, a shooting range about ten miles from Belgrade used as both a killing and burial field.
The evidence also shows that since war's end, Egner has mischaracterized his
wartime service in a successful decades-long effort to avoid any association with a unit he admits had "the worst reputation in the entire uniform family in Germany or in the war."
He later claimed he had served in the Luftwaffe even though he now acknowledges that "I had never been in the Air Force in my life." In 1960, he provided a false certificate of discharge with his U.S. visa application and didn't mention his time in Belgrade.
Accordingly, prosecutors say, "the Government can and will meet its burden of showing that defendant should be denaturalized on the basis that he concealed or willfully misrepresented a material fact." A hearing is set for this Friday.
In an earlier statement, Egner said he tries "to stay out of public as much as possible" to avoid confrontations with doubters. "Unless it is necessary I do not leave the [Bellevue] retirement community in which I live." Most fellow residents "treat me kindly, but there are some who ignore me altogether. Even the people that are nice to me have a look about them. I can see in their faces that they have doubts about me."

Salvation and the "Heathen"
Most students of early New England remember the Robert Breck affair as a bizarre episode in which western Massachusetts ministers in 1735 arranged to have a young preacher from Harvard arrested and carried off to jail on charges of heresy. Students of Edwards also know that the Northampton theologian agreed that Breck was preaching dangerous heresy and publicly defended the ministers' actions. What most historians have overlooked, however, is that one of the three Breck doctrines deemed to be heretical concerned the eschatological. destiny of the "heathen," and that it was this doctrine that seemed to bother Edwards the most.1
According to his accusers, Robert Breck ( 1713-84) had told his Windham County ( Connecticut) auditors that some portions of the Scriptures were not inspired, that predestination gave "no Encouragement to Duty," and that "the heathen doing what they could would entitle 'em to salvation." It was this last accusation to which Edwards devoted the majority of his attention in his published account of the heresies.2
Edwards was probably not surprised to learn that Breck was a disciple of Thomas Chubb,3 the most accessible guide to deism in the 1730s. For as we saw in Chap-____________________

I have been riding regularly for the past 6 or 7 months, not a ton of mileage but probably 1000 miles in the mountains as I live in western north carolina. I got a trainer for Christmas and was working that into my routine as well. I have run only sporadically during this period. I have had some minor twinging episodes that I assumed were IT related when running in the past but nothing crippling. Well, one week ago I went for a run and experienced a crippling pain in my left knee. The run was up hill and it was freezing so I went out harder than usual. 24 hours later my knee was on fire. I was sure I had really damaged it, so I had an MRI and was surprised it was simple IT band inflammation. I have been given stretching exercises to do and ibuprofren. I don't think the IT band was a direct result of cycling since it hadnt showed up on any of my rides no matter how long or steep.
I want to return to cycling as soon as I can, but my knee hurts even doing nothing. I can ride the trainer and it doesnt hurt *more* than doing nothing. My question is do I need real rest, no spinning at all until the inflammation goes away, or can I do some spinning. I had a pro bike fit last week and they made some substantial adjustments but I havent ridden it yet. How long should I stay on the couch? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, JJ

Archived Story
The Real ThingPublished 9:38pm Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Coca Cola used the phrase "The Real Thing" in advertising its soft drink several years ago. Since then it has been used to describe something or someone who actually is what is claimed. The phrase is one I believe could apply to current Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow came into fame not only as the Florida Gator's star quarterback but also as one who is not afraid to share his faith in Jesus Christ. From the John 3:16 painted under his eyes to his giving thanks after great plays this young man not only "talks the talk but also walks the walk."
His future almost seemed to be planned even before he was born. It has been reported that his mother received recommendations from her doctor to abort the baby she was carrying in order that her own life might be protected. Mrs. Tebow had suffered a life threatening infection and the drugs given to her were thought to have adversely affected the child she was carrying. However, she relied on her faith and refused the doctor's advice.
One could almost parallel Tebow's life with great men from the Bible. When God has chosen a person to spread His word or to help in His cause man cannot stand in the way. Tebow was homeschooled along with his other siblings. The door was opened for him to play high school football when the Florida State Legislature passed laws stating the homeschooled students would be allowed to compete in local high school sporting events. His football skills led to his college career at the University of Florida where he gained the national spotlight as a passing and running quarterback. His determination and faith continued to be shown on and off the field. One source even referred to Tebow as "The Chosen One."
With a very successful college career including winning the coveted Heisman Trophy, he was drafted by the Broncos. He continues to be successful and continues to use his athletic ability to share his faith. While many continue to look for the young man to step out of line and wait for him to fail it is very apparent that God has His hand on this football player. Tebow's life is such a strong reminder that God still calls on men and women to continue to reach out to those in need and to go out into the world and make disciples of all men. What a lesson this young man can teach us if can have the kind of faith he has and never forget the words of John 3:16.

Sandra Vanessa
Update on Sandra VanessaSandra Vanessa is married and 45 years old. She is native to León, a place that is located in the western zone of the country. She is known for being a hard-working and responsible woman with a desire for personal self-improvement. Unfortunately, because of a lack of economic resources she could not pursue her studies, since from a very young age she had to work to help with home expenses.
Thanks to her spirit and her desire to come out ahead she has a convenience store situated in her home. For six years she has worked in this business. A convenience store is a small store that sells grocery items and goods in small quantities like coffee packets, shampoo packets, rice, sugar, milk, beans, bread, eggs, and detergent. She works in her business 12 hours a day, an activity that she performs with pleasure.
The objective of the loan is to invest in her business capital and supply her convenience store so that in the near future she can obtain a better income. Sandra is thankful for the help that the Kiva lenders provide to people of limited resources and poor countries like Nicaragua to have a dignified means of working.

Una pulpería es una pequeña tienda que vende productos comestibles, y en cantidades pequeña como sobre de café, sobre de shampoo, arroz, azúcar, leche, frijoles, pan, huevos, detergente. Ella dedica aproximadamente a su negocio unas 12 horas diarias, actividad que la desempeña con mucho gusto. El objetivo del crédito es invertir en capital de trabajo y surtir su pulpería, para que en un futuro no muy lejano pueda obtener mejores ingresos. Sandra agradece la ayuda que los inversionistas kiva les brindan a personas de escasos recursos y países pobre como es Nicaragua para tener un medio de trabajo digno.

Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

A jury in Hartford, Conn., refused on Sept. 16 to convict blogger Hal Turner of charges stemming from online comments he made in 2009 urging others, in response to a new state law, to "take up arms and put down this tyranny by force" and that public officials should "obey the Constitution or die."
Gentle reader, by the time you read this there may have been action on the application of the Palestinians to the United Nations for recognition as a state, but as it is written the matter has not yet been addressed.
As you know, the Palestinians will ask the Security Council to be recognized as a sovereign state and admission to the world organization as a member state.

Nice to know dat sumthin' gewd came from dat Government shutdown.
The reason there is a Government shutdown is that they are all hiding in tall grass or smoking it.

Naddima Nnalongo & Teo Mukasa Abateesa Group
Teo's business, which she has pursued for the past year, is making uniform sweaters for children of two schools. She is a teacher by profession and usually makes the uniforms during her free time and during the holidays. She was able to get a water supply from National Water that she sells to her community, and this has increased her income also.
The loans help her so much with her beneficiaries' school fees. Teo M. says that without the loans she would not have been able to sustain her family on her small teacher's salary. With her share of this loan, she plans to buy more material for making sweaters and to complete paying school fees for her beneficiaries.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Robot Master-a-thon Results MM1 by AndrewDickmanWatch
©2012-2016 AndrewDickman
In the course of four hours, I managed to draw all the robot masters from Mega Man 1-4 completely by memory... that's why the designs are off.
Thanks everyone who donated $5 for each robot master as far as we could
Thanks everyone who donated $5 for each robot master as far as we could
What were these done in? I love them (it?)!
Well you still did wonderful.
I absolutely adore these; all of them! AWESOMELY DONE!!
really gorgeous art work ^_^
I hope you do Oil Man and Time Man.
The entire set looks awesome, but I think Guts looks the best.
I'm so glad someone remembered Bomberman. I feel as though he doesn't get a lot of love. You have a great design scheme between all the characters. Great job!
Lively and diverse! I really like how Elec looks here, but they all suit their designs.
I saw you Drawing Gutsman and Cutman, which was simply amazing. I still wonder How you do that, how anyone does that. Wow
damn, y u so awesome?
Elec Man is the best of the first game.
Very impressive!
Really awesome, you did an excellent job drawing them all from memory! That goes for the rest of the robots as well on your other pics! If I had any money (I literally can't afford to spend any of my money at the moment) I'd have surely donated to see how far you could go. Ah well, great job!
Darn, I missed it. I was busy helping out with the cat rescue I volunteer with. Oh well, it was worth it.
The original six, always awesome.
For doing it out of memory, that's pretty darn good.

Thinking of the New Year it is hard to belief the amount of superstition and tradition that revolve around this one day. One tradition that happens in almost every English speaking country on New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight is singing Auld Lang Syne. Despite it's popularity it has aptly been described as the song everyone has heard but no one really knows the words to. Take a listen:
Another tradition that happens at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve is the ever popular "New Year's Eve kiss." At the stroke of midnight couples embrace one another for a kiss to celebrate and set tone for the new year. Some hold the superstition that failing to kiss someone ensures a year of loneliness.
Dropping of the Times Square Ball is also a popular New Year's Eve tradition. Live feed of the ball being "dropped" on Times Square is seen by 1 billion people across the world, an estimated 100 million of them being from the United States. The ball, which is now in its sixth incarnation, is currently made by Waterford Crystal. The ball has been a New Year's Eve symbol since December 31, 1907. Since 2009, the ball remains year-round on the flagpole over One Times Square and is only lowered on New Year's Eve or removed for maintenance.
Another extremely popular New Year's tradition is making New Year's resolutions. This tradition dates back to the early Babylonians. One of the early Babylonians most popular resolutions was to return borrowed farm equipment. Today one of the most popular resolutions is losing weight. Recent research shows that 52% of those making resolutions were confident in their new goals; however, only 12% actually achieved their goals.
So, no matter what your tradition is for the New Year- we hope you have a happy and successful one!
Happy New Year!

Evaluation of the Bureau of Justice Assistance Mental Health Court Initiative at Seven Sites in the United States, 2003-2004 Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research 2005 courts mental disorders mental health 2005-03-15 2005-03-15 2003-11-01--2004-01-23 survey data 4114 1 This study evaluated seven mental health courts that were partially funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Data were collected on 285 formal referrals to the seven courts between November 1, 2003, and January 31, 2004. For every referral, court staff completed a one-page questionnaire that covered (1) identification of the referring agent, (2) characteristics of the referred person, including age, gender, race, criminal charges, and type of mental disorder, and (3) the disposition decision. This study evaluated seven mental health courts that were partially funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. They were located in Santa Clara County, California, Orange County, North Carolina, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Washoe County, Nevada, Brooklyn, New York, Bonneville County, Idaho, and Orange County, California. Research questions concerned (1) how cases were referred, processed, and disposed of by the courts and (2) whether there were factors that distinguished cases accepted by the court from cases referred to the court but not accepted. The researchers were also interested in whether mental health courts, like the majority of other jail diversion programs, would have older, white women disproportionately represented in comparison to their numbers in the criminal justice system as a whole. Data were collected on 285 people who were formally referred to the seven courts between November 1, 2003, and January 31, 2004. A formal referral was defined slightly differently for each court, but, in general, it was a person who passed through that court's pre-determined referral process. Court staff completed a one-page questionnaire for every formal referral during the study period. The questionnaire had three parts: (1) identification of the referring agent, (2) characteristics of the referred person, and (3) the disposition decision. The questionnaires were received back from the courts between November 2003 and March 2004. Variables include referral date, referring agent, age, gender, race, most serious criminal charge, type of crime, number of current misdemeanors and felonies, whether the person had a major mental disorder, type of disorder, primary Axis I diagnosis, whether the person had substance abuse problems, date of referral disposition, referral disposition outcome, if accepted, whether the person enrolled, reason if not accepted, and several derived variables.

- 15th September 15h00-16h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.François Laudenbach (Université de Nantes)A doubling phenomenon in Morse-Novikov homology.Morse-Novikov homology deals with closed 1-forms on a closed manifold. Such a form l is locally the differential of a function; so, globally, l can be thought of as a multi-valued function (up to an additive constant). In what follows, the cohomology class of l is fixed and non-zero. Generically, the zeroes of l are of Morse type. If X is a it descending gradient (that is, l(X)<0 apart from the zeroes), under some transversality condition it is possible to construct a complex associated with X, analogous to the Morse complex of a Morse function; this is due to S. Novikov first, the general definition being due to J.-C. Sikorav. This complex is based on the finite set of zeroes of l and the ring is the so-called Novikov completion of the group ring. The completion translates the fact that there may have connecting orbits of arbitrarily large length.After an initiation, I will explain how the Morse-Novikov complex changes by change of X, more precisely the analogue of the so-called handle slides of the usual Morse theory. But here, the dynamics of X has recurrence. This generates strange phenomena, among which there are first the self-slides which themselves generate a doubling phenomenon, similar to the period doubling in the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation.
July 2015
7th July 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Bruno PremoselliConformal formulation of the initial-value problem in General RelativityThe so-called "constraint equations" arise in Mathematical General Relativity, in the initial-value formulation of the celebrated Einstein equations. They determine all the initial data sets that generate physically realistic space-times. A suitable choice of the physics data up to some conformal factors - a procedure known as the "conformal method" - allows one to rewrite the constraint equations into a determined system of nonlinear, supercritical, elliptic PDEs, called the Einstein-Lichnerowicz system.In this talk we will investigate some stability and compactness properties for the Einstein-Lichnerowicz system. The notion of elliptic stability is a structural property and is defined here as the continuous dependence of the whole set of solutions of the Einstein-Lichnerowicz system in its coefficients. It evokes a kind of well-posedness property and rephrases in terms of the relevance of the conformal method in the initial-value problem. The analysis of this stability property involves blow-up techniques for the analysis of defects of compactness of (super)critical nonlinear elliptic equations.The main part of this talk will be devoted to recalling the geometric framework of General Relativity. We will introduce the Einstein equations, the derivation of the constraint equations, describe the conformal method in detail and discuss their physical motivation. We will then introduce the notion of (elliptic) stability for the Einstein-Lichnerowicz system and will explain how it relates to the physics of the Einstein equations.
Please note that below this point, the list of previous seminars page is very out-of-date. I will rectify this as soon as I get a chance…
Februrary 2014
- 18th February 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Alberto AbbondandoloA local non-squeezing theorem on infinite dimensional phase spacesI will discuss the implications of a non-squeezing theorem à la Gromov for symplectomorphisms of symplectic Hilbert spaces and show a proof of such a result for symplectomorphisms mapping the ball into a convex set.
- 11th February 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Markus UpmeierGeneralised differential cohomologyIn the beginning of my talk I shall give a presentation of the basic properties and terminology in the theory of differential extensions of generalized cohomology theories. Following a number of examples, we will then turn to the study of the multiplicative properties and some of my own results in this direction.
- 4th February 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Misha VerbitskyErgodic complex structures and Kobayashi metricLet M be a compact manifold. Consider the action of the diffeomorphism group Diff(M) on the (infinite-dimensional) space Comp(M) of complex structures. A complex structure is called ergodic if its Diff(M)-orbit is dense in the connected component of Comp(M). I will show that on a hyperkaehler manifold or a compact torus, a complex structure is ergodic unless its Picard rank is maximal. This result has many geometric consequences; for instance, it follows that the Kobayashi pseudometric on any K3 surface or on the deformations of its Hilbert scheme vanishes, solving a longstanding conjecture by Kobayashi.
January 2014
- 21st January 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Mehdi LejmiExistence of HKT metrics on hypercomplex manifolds of real dimension 8.In this talk, I will introduce the notion of a HKT-metric (hyperkähler with torsion) on a hypercomplex manifold. I will give some examples and properties of such manifolds. The goal of the talk is to prove that a compact hypercomplex manifold of real dimension 8, with holonomy of the Obata connection lying in SL(2,H) admits a HKT-metric if and only if H^{1,0} with respect to a fixed complex structure is even. This is sort of an analogue to the fact that every compact complex surface with even b_1 is Kähler. This is a joint work with Misha Verbitsky and Gueo Grantcharov.
- 14th January 15h00-16h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Markus UpmeierProduct structures in Differential CohomologyDifferential cohomology is a synthesis of ideas from classical gauge theory and (stable) homotopy theory. So far, the main mathematical motivation has been the creation of a uniform framework for dealing with secondary invariants like the Chern-Simons invariant. In physical terms, differential cohomology is thought of as an abelian gauge theory and can for example be used in the description of Dirac's magnetic monopole. In my talk, I shall motivate and introduce the basic objects of this theory and identify special cases as familiar gauge-theoretic objects. Finally, I will report also on my own research concerning product structures.
- 7th January 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Maria SalazarContact isotropic realizations of Jacobi manifoldsNon-commutative Hamiltonian integrable systems (in the sense of Nekhoroshev or Mishenko-Fomenko) on symplectic manifolds are intimately related to isotropic realisations of regular Poisson structures, which can be seen as desingularisations of the underlying Poisson manifold. It is natural to ask whether an analogous connection holds for integrable Hamiltonian systems on manifolds endowed with related structures e.g. (twisted) symplectic, Poisson or Dirac. This talk is concerned with describing the global geometric objects behind non-commutative integrable Hamiltonian systems on contact manifolds (as defined by Khesin and Tabachnikov, Banyaga and Molizno, and Jovanovic). This is joint work with Daniele Sepe.
December 2013
- 17th December 12h00-13h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Steve Zelditch (Northwestern, Chicago)Geodesics in the space of Kahler metrics.Mabuchi-Semmes-Donaldson defined a Riemannian metric on the infinite dimensional space of Kahler metrics in a fixed class. The geodesics are solutions of a homogeneous Monge Ampere equation. My talk is about the initial value problem for geodesics and on the approximation of these geodesics by those of the finite dimensional symmetric space of so-called Bergman metrics. I will sketch the proof of a conjecture of Yanir Rubinstein and myself on the quantization approximation for the initial value problem.
- 3rd December 12h00-13h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Markus Upmeier (ULB)Refinements of the Chern-Dold Character in Generalized Cohomology.We shall begin by reviewing the most basic features of the theory of generalized cohomology theory and stable homotopy theory. Fundamental examples such as K-theory, stable homotopy groups, and cobordism theories will be discussed. The relation to spectra using Brown's Representability Theorem will also be indicated. Next, the Chern-Dold character, a map that compares an arbitrary generalized cohomology theory with singular cohomology, will be introduced. This finally leads to some of my own research concerning refinements of the Chern-Dold character to a much more sophisticated object, a map of highly structured ring spectra. These are crucial for state-of-the-art treatments of generalized differential cohomology in terms of differential function spectra. The present talk will fill the background for my later talks on differential cohomology.
November 2013
- 19th November, 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Mehdi Lejmi (ULB)The J-flow and stability.The J-flow is a parabolic flow introduced by Donaldson. In this talk, we present a new algebro-geometric stability condition which is equivalent conjecturally to the existence of solutions of the critical equation of the J-flow. We present also exmaples due to Fang-Lai and explain how this is related to the stability condition. This is a joint work with Gabor Székelyhidi.
- 12th November, 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Mehdi Lejmi (ULB)Stability under deformations of Hermite-Einstein almost-Kähler metrics.In this talk, we introduce the notion of extremal almost-Kähler metrics. These metrics appear as a natural generalization of Calabi extremal Kähler metrics to the symplectic case. We focus on the particular case of Hermite-Einstein almost-Kähler metrics, give examples of them, study their deformations and look to obstructions for their existence.
October 2013
- 23rd October 14h00-15h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Alexander Cardona Guio (Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotà, Colombia)Algèbres de Poisson associées aux structures de Dirac tordues et symétries prolongéesDans cet exposé, je présenterai une définition d'algèbre de Poisson des fonctions admissibles associée aux structures de Dirac tordues par une 3-forme fermée qui généralise celle donnée par Courant et Weinstein dans le cas non-tordue, et je vais présenter les cas standards associés aux structures de Dirac définies par les graphes de 2-formes non-dégénérées ainsi que d'autres exemples naturels. Je présenterai également la relation entre les symétries prolongées d'algébroides de Courant exactes sur une variété, les algèbres de Poisson des fonctions admissibles associées aux structures de Dirac tordues sous l'action d'un groupe de Lie et la réduction des structures de Dirac. Enfin, je vais montrer que les homomorphismes habituels d'algèbres de Lie entre les symétries infinitésimales de l'action, celles des champs de vecteurs sur la variété et l'algèbre de Poisson des observables (apparaissant en géométrie symplectique), se généralisent en morphismes naturels des algèbres de Leibniz induites par l'action prolongée et les applications moment associées dans le cadre de structures de Dirac tordues.
April 2013
- 30th April, 14h30-16h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Daniel Sternheimer (Rikkyo University, Tokyo, and Université de Bourgogne, Dijon).Altneuland in mathematical particle physics: back to the drawing board?We describe work in progress and outline a "framework for conjectural frameworks" based on Flato's deformation philosophy, on joint works with or by Flato and coworkers (especially Fronsdal) since the 60's, and on discussions with many mathematicians and physicists in the past years. Namely we return to the old problem of connection between external (Poincaré group) and internal (unitary) symmetries of elementary particles but with a (Drinfeld) twist, suggesting that the internal symmetries might emerge from deforming to Anti de Sitter SO(2,3) and quantizing that (possibly in a new generalised manner) at root of unity. That raises challenging problems, both on the mathematical part and for particle physics.
- 16th April, 12h30-14h00. Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Jonathan Fine (Open University UK).Finding linear homologyThe middle perversity intersection homology (mpih) Betti numbers of the toric variety associated with a convex polytope are linear functions of the flag vector of the convex polytope. In this talk I will define similar linear functions, which I hope are the Betti numbers for a not yet defined homology theory. This linear homology theory should exist wherever mpih does. Such homology would prove that the candidate Betti numbers are actual Betti numbers, and so non-negative on all convex polytopes (being the dimension of a vector space).
March 2013
- 26th March, 13h30-14h20 and 14h30-15h20 (the first talk will be an introduction at the level of a masters course, the second a usual seminar.) Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.Kirill Mackenzie (Sheffield UK).Duality for n-fold vector bundlesDouble vector bundles have been implicit in differential geometry for many years: for a vector bundle E over M the tangent TE with its two structures (over E and over TM) gives the formulation of connections in E which was used by Dieudonné, and T(TM), T(T^*M) and T^*(T^*M) arise in Tulczyjew's formulation of geometric mechanics. In general a double vector bundle is a manifold D with two compatible vector bundle structures over bases A and B which are themselves vector bundles over a common manifold M . Such a D can be dualized in two ways and these duals are themselves dual over a base which emerges from the double structure. The two dualizations generate the symmetric group of order 6. For triple vector bundles, Gracia-Saz and the speaker have proved that the corresponding group is of order 96 and is a non-split extension of S_4 by the Klein 4-group. For n-fold vector bundles the corresponding group is an extension of S_n+1 by a direct product of cyclic groups of order 2. It is a subgroup of O(k,Z) where k depends on n, but is not a Coxeter group. In the first talk I will describe the pairing of the two duals of a double vector bundle which is the basis of this work, and the results for n = 3,4. In the second talk I will describe the method by which the groups are calculated and the interpretation - on which further developments rest - of the kernel elements as graphs of even valency. This work arose in the study of bracket structures associated to Poisson manifolds and Lie algebroids, but the talk requires no knowledge of these. An acquaintance with the concept of vector bundle is sufficient.
- 15th March, 10h30-11h30, Salles de Solvay, 5th floor of building NO.Will Kirwin (Cologne).Adapted complex structures and the geodesic flow.Let M be a compact, real-analytic Riemannian manifold. An adapted complex structure is a certain complex structure on a neighborhood of M in its tangent bundle (i.e. the Grauert tube). After giving a brief history and introduction, I will describe how adapted complex structures can be understood in terms of the "imaginary time" geodesic flow, and how the construction is related to a general construction known as Thiemann's complexifier method. I will also describe a generalization involving magnetic flows, and, time permitting, various applications.

- 16th October, 14h00-16h15, Salles des Profs, 9th floor of building NO.14h00-15h00, Johannes Nordstrom (Imperial College London)Diffeomorphism types of compact G2 manifolds.In joint work with Corti, Haskins and Pacini, we apply Kovalev's twisted connected sum construction to certain weak Fano 3-folds to produce large numbers of compact 2-connected Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy G2. By applying the classification theory of smooth 2-connected 7-manifolds, we can determine their diffeomorphism type. It turns out that many different twisted connected sums define G2-metrics on the same smooth manifold, raising the question whether these metrics belong to different components of the G2 moduli space.15h15-16h15, Georgios Dimitroglou Rizell (ULB)Ambient Legendrian Surgery in the critical case.We describe the operation Ambient Legendrian surgery on a Legendrian submanifold L of dimension n. This produces a Legendrian embedding of the manifold L_S obtained by k-surgery on L together with an exact Lagrangian (k+1)-handle attachment. There are formulas which compute the (full) Legendrian contact homology of L_S in terms of data on L in the case k less than n-1. The situation for k equal to n-1 is more difficult, as we will explain, but we provide formulas for the linearized Legendrian contact homology.

- 11th May, time and room to be announced.Sebastian Klein.Totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2.The objective of the talk is to describe a method for the classification of totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank 2 via the root space decomposition of the space. In the first part of the talk I will describe relations between the root system of a symmetric space and the root system of a totally geodesic submanifold, as well as relations between the root spaces of a symmetric space and the root spaces of a totally geodesic submanifold. These relations serve as a fundament for the classification of totally geodesic submanifolds. In the second part of the talk I will describe the application of these results to the classification of totally geodesic submanifolds in one specific series of symmetric spaces of rank 2, namely the complex 2-Grassmannians G_2(C^n).
April 2012
- 27th April, 14h00-15h00, room 2.NO.707.Julien Keller (Marseilles)."Chow stability and projectivisations of stable bundles"We will discuss GIT stability of projectivisations of Giseker stable vector bundles living over a projective surface carrying a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric. We will give an example of a smooth manifold which is Chow stable but not asymptotically Chow stable. This is joint work with Julius Ross (Univ de Cambridge).
- 24th April, 14h00-15h00, Salle de Solvay, 5th floor, Buliding NO.Robert Berman (Chalmers)."Kähler-Einstein metrics emerging from free fermions and statistical mechanics"From a statistical mechanical point of view it is natural to view differential geometry as an emergent phenomena: the smooth shapes that we see are emergent effects of some underlying microscopic model, as the number of particles tends to infinity. On the other hand, from a mathematical point of view it is also natural to view differential geometry as a limit of algebraic geometry, as the "degree" tends to infinity. Naively, this just amounts to the fact that any smooth curve can be approximated by a polynomial curve, but, in fact, this idea goes much deeper and is related to the fundamental Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture concerning Kähler-Einstein metrics on projective algebraic varities. In this talk I will explain how these two different points of view on differential geometry can be merged, leading to a new statistical mechanics approach to Kähler-Einstein metrics. It turns out that - from a physical point of view - the underlying microscopic theory consists of a gas of free fermions subject to a non-standard "beta-deformation," making it back-ground free. Time permitting I will also point out some connections to quantum gravity and speculate on possible relations to the recent work of Ferrari-Klevtsov-Zelditch on random Kähler metrics.
March 2012
- 30th March, 14h00-15h00, Salle de Solvay, 5th floor, Building NO.Rafael Torres (Oxford)."Constructions of generalized complex structures in dimension four"Recent constructions of exotic smooth structures on 4-manifolds can be used to expand our understanding of generalized complex structures. The talk will be a description of the produce of merging these two research areas together, which yields existence results for a myriad of 4-manifolds and also unveils interesting phenomena regarding generalized complex structures.
- 16th March, 14h00-15h00, Salle de Solvay, 5th floor, Building NO.Konrad Waldorf (Regensburg)."Introduction to gerbes and higher holonomies"In this talk I give an introduction to the theory of bundle gerbes, which have been invented by M. Murray in 1995. Bundle gerbes generalize line bundles in the sense that they provide a geometrical realization of cohomology classes in degrees higher than two. Like line bundles, bundle gerbes can be equipped with connections leading to a notion of higher holonomies, taken around closed manifolds of dimension higher than one. The main motivation for bundle gerbes and their higher holonomies is their application to quantum field theories, in particular WZW models and Chern-Simons theory.
- 9th March, 14h00-15h00, Salle de Solvay, 5th floor, Building NO.Jonny Evans (ETH Zurich)."Pseudoholomorphic curves and nilpotent Lie algebras."In joint work with Jarek Kedra, we explore the genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of certain families of symplectic nilmanifolds, including the Kodaira-Thurston 4-manifold. Bryan-Leung (2000) proved that in the case of the hyperKaehler family of K3 surfaces the Gromov-Witten invariants are coefficients of a quasimodular form. Our computations yield some other interesting arithmetic answers. I will explain how this works in the simplest cases (tori!) where it is well-known before explaining the more general setting (twistor families associated to nilpotent Lie algebras).
- 2nd March, 14h00-15h00, Salle de Solvay, 5th floor, Building NO.Dan Popovici (Toulouse)."Deformation Limits of Compact Kaehler Manifolds."If in a holomorphic family of compact complex manifolds all the fibres, except one, are supposed to be Kähler, the remaining (limit/central) fibre has long been conjectured to be of class C (i.e. bimeromorphically equivalent to a compact Kaehler manifold). We shall explain a strategy for tackling this (still open) conjecture in which only one of three major ingredients has yet to be proved: Demailly's conjecture on transcendental Morse inequalities. A sequence of non-holomorphic but almost holomorphic complex line bundles can naturally be associated with any real closed (1,1)-form on the central fibre of the family and what is at stake is to construct sufficiently many almost holomorphic sections of these line bundles when the original form is supposed to satisfy a weak positivity assumption.

- 17th February, 14h00-15h00, A2.220 (Chemistry dept.)Thomas Bruun Madsen (Kings College, London)."From half-flat to exceptional."I will talk about work in progress on the construction of (non-compact) metrics with holonomy G_2 via Hitchin's flow equations. In particular, I will discuss a new description of SO(3)xSO(3)-invariant half-flat SU(3)-structures on S3xS3; such structures play an essential role when we look for solutions to the Hitchin flow. The theoretical framework is supplemented by some concrete examples, including the (complete) Bryant-Salamon metric on the spin bundle over a three-sphere
- 10th February, 14h00-15h00, Salle de Solvay, 5th floor, Building NO.Stuart Hall (Buckingham)."Investigating the linear stability of Kähler-Ricci solitons" (joint with Thomas Murphy)Ricci solitons are generalisations of Einstein metrics that are fixed points of the Ricci flow. In this talk we will discuss the notion of linear stability which roughly determines whether a soliton is attracting or repelling as a fixed point. We will focus on the Kähler case where more subtle questions can be asked about what happens if one changes the complex structure of a soliton.
January 2012
- 20th January, Salle des Profs, 9th floor, building NO14h00-15h00, George Marinescu (Cologne)."Equidistribution of zeros of holomorphic sections of high tensor powers of line bundles."We present some equidistribution results for sequences of random sections of high tensor powers of positive line bundles over non-compact manifolds (e.g. Riemann surfaces with cusps, arithmetic quotients or, more generally, quasi-projective manifolds). We also examine the equidistribution of sections of big line bundles endowed with singular Hermitian metrics.
15h30-16h30, Carl Tippler (Nantes)."Deformations of extremal Kähler toric manifolds."Using the method of Székelyhidi, we reduce the existence of extremal Kähler metrics on complex deformations of extremal Kähler manifolds to a finite dimensional GIT problem. We compute stable points in the case of toric manifolds, providing new examples of extremal Kähler surfaces.
Instructions for speakers
We will normally pay your hotel bill (room and breakfast) directly ourselves. We will need the following inorder to pay your travel expenses:
- Your original tickets.
- Your IBAN, BIC and bank's name and address.
- Your personal address.
- A photocopy of your passport or identity card.
If you are arriving by plane, at Zaventem airport, then you should take the train to Gare du Midi, the main station in Brussels. The trains leave roughly every thirty minutes and the journey takes half an hour. If you are arriving by train, it is almost certain your train will also stop at Gare du Midi.
We typically use Hotel Agenda Louise for our speakers. To travel to Hotel Agenda from Gare du Midi, the main train station in Brussels, take the Metro to Louise, on line 2 or 6, direction Simonis (Elisabeth), a journey of aproximately 5 minutes. Be careful not to take the metro in the oposite direction, which has almost the same name: Simonis (Leopold). From Louise metro station you can walk to the hotel along Avenue Louise and turn right down Rue de Florence. The Hotel is on your right. The walk should take at most 10 minutes. Follow these links for a map of the Brussels Metro and a map of the walk from Louise metro to Hotel Agenda Louise
To travel from Hotel Agenda to the maths department, you can walk, take the metro or take a tram.
From Hotel Agenda to the department by metro
For the metro, walk back to Louise Metro station and then take the metro to Delta station. To do this take line 2 or 6 direction Simonis (Elisabeth) to Arts-Loi and then change for line 5, direction Hermann-Debroux. The whole metro journey will take about 30 minutes.
Delta station is on the same campus as the maths department. The department is in building NO, the differential geometry group is on the 7th floor and I can normally be found there in my office, O.7.112. Here is a link to a map of the campus with both Delta metro and building NO marked.
From Hotel Agenda to the department by tram
To get here by tram, walk from the hotel back to Avenue Louise and turn right, (the oposite direction from the metro). Catch the 94 tram, direction Musée du tram, as far as the ULB Solbosch campus. Warning: this is not the campus where the maths department is! To get to the maths department, you now walk along Avenue de l'Université to Campus de la Plaine. For more details, see this map of the tram journey and walk. Avenue de l'Université leaves you at accèss 2 on this map of the campus. The maths department is in building NO, the differential geometry group is on the 7th floor and I can normally be found there in my office, O.7.112.

Sorry to be pessimistic, but I'm predicting 1 or 2 (VdV with Bale assist, and poss 1 for Bale himself) - 3 (Nani and a Berb brace). We don't do it against them when we're at our best, and I think - despite somehow scraping results - we've been far from that recently (probably since the Liverpool game).I predict a fairly early Berb goal, with an equalizer just before half time; if we get a second it'll be after 50-55 mins, and 2 from them (Berb with the winner) in the last 15mins. I think Lennon will be pretty effectively marked out of the game - no idea why, but I'm pretty convinced of all these points!

Lindsay Lohan Is Pretty Much Stalking Max George of the Wanted Now
Lindsay Lohan is continuing her crusade to woo the Wanted singer Max George -- you know, the dude who ditched her when she got too drunk and then popped a psychic in the face.
Lindsay Lohan is continuing her crusade to woo the Wanted singer Max George -- you know, the dude who ditched her when she got too drunk and then popped a psychic in the face.
Perhaps remembering why she's really famous, Lindsay Lohan was arrested yet again early Thursday morning.
When she isn't busy not showing up for work, fighting with her dad or looking for a new publicist, Lindsay Lohan spends her time keeping the world safe from dangerous weather phenomena.
And if you silly people on the East Coast would just LISTEN TO HER, maybe you could stop boarding up your windows and just relax already.
Lindsay Lohan is trying to make a comeback. Part of that comeback is her role in 'Scary Movie 5' where she was set to appear alongside Charlie Sheen. Except Lindsay Lohan just can't stop being Lindsay Lohan and the actress, despite trying to be on her best behavior, disappeared, skipped rehearsals, missed her flight to the film's set and tried to bail on the film by claiming "walking pneumonia." Oh Lindsay.
Lindsay Lohan has been making quite the name for herself recently, and it doesn't involve her being late to sets or crashing Porsche's. Instead, the troubled actress/singer has been hanging out with Lady Gaga and Lana Del Rey and scored herself a role in Gaga's upcoming video. But does she have will.i.am on her list of people to help with her comeback?
Lindsay Lohan has packed a lot of hard living into her 25 years. And the wear and tear of a tabloid lifestyle shows in this "face morph" video that tracks Lilo from infancy to the present day.
After some intense hours, Lindsay Lohan, who's vacationing after completing less than a day of her 30-day jail sentence, has been reunited with her $5,000 purse and her passport, although she's out about $10,000 in cash. At least the Chanel is safe.
Lindsay Lohan and her father Michael Lohan can't stop playing with fire.
Lindsay, although ordered to complete 16 hours of her community service sentence at the Los Angeles Coroner's Office before her November 2 court appearance, will be spending some time in the next week posing for Playboy, says a source. And while she's trying to fit this in before heading to court for possibly more time in jail, her dad will be dealing with issues of his own.
At a probation hearing today, a judge ordered Lindsay Lohan back to jail with $100,000 bail, for continuous probation violations.
Lohan arrived at court this morning to update Judge Sautner on her compliance to the terms and conditions of her probation. Sautner then revoked Lohan's probation, citing her bad behavior and lack of hours served.
Lately, Lindsay Lohan has been known more for her tabloid antics and jail stints than for being an actress, but that doesn't mean she won't defend her "good name" anyway.
Lohan recently filed a defamation lawsuit against rapper Pitbull because of an unflattering line about her that was included in his hit single, 'Give Me Everything.'
Well, so much for that: A judge ruled Thursday that Lindsay Lohan was only guilty of 'extremely poor judgment' after she tested positive last week for alcohol.
Judge Stephanie Sautner also banned Lohan, who is currently under house arrest after she was accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace, from a jewelry store in California and from having parties at her house. She is now only allowed to have "one friend over at a time, and your family, should you want them. That is it."
Lindasy Lohan has apparently decided to get creative while under house arrest.
The troubled actress, who is currently confined to her home for allegedly stealing a $2,500 necklace, recently filmed a commercial of sorts for a new auctioning website called Beezid.com.
