| 11:00 - 12:00 Wednesday Weekly Seminar - Virtual Format Analysis of Innovative Methods for Terahertz Wave Production Using Laser-Plasma Interaction School PARTICLES AND ACCELERATORS Abstract: Interest of the research in terahertz (THz) wave has been strongly motivated by its wide applications in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Developing efficient and reliable THz source is of uttermost priority in these researches. Generally, due to the restrictions mainly caused by laser damage threshold, it is not possible to generate efficient and strong THz radiation. Plasma is a quasi-neutral medium composed of electrons and positive ions, exhibiting long-range collective behavior. It has garnered significant attention as a promising source for generating THz electromagnetic wave, primaril ... 13:30 - 15:00 Journal Club A shared model-based linguistic space for transmitting our thoughts from brain to brain in natural conversations School COGNITIVE SCIENCES ... 14:00 - 15:00 Combinatorics and Computing Weekly Seminar Strategies for infinite Maker-Breaker games School MATHEMATICS Imagine a game played between two players, Maker and Breaker, on an infinite complete graph G. The players alternately claim edges of G, beginning with Maker, and play continues forever. Maker's aim is that by the end of the game she should have claimed all edges of an infinite complete subgraph of G, and Breaker's aim is to prevent this. I will discuss a number of simple variants of this game and examine who has a winning strategy in each case.

School BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES Predicting drug-target interactions (DTIs) has become a significant issue in bioinformatics, as it represents a crucial initial step in drug repositioning. Consequently, researchers are working to develop more accurate computational methods for DTI prediction. These methods are typically based on machine learning or recommender systems and incorporate biological and chemical information to enhance prediction accuracy. A fundamental assumption underlying these approaches is that drugs with similar chemical structures are likely to share similar targets. Therefore, chemical similarity between drugs is integrated into computational methods to im ... 17:30 - 19:00 Algebraic Geometry Biweekly Webinar Lagrangian Subspaces of the Moduli Space of Simple Sheaves on K3 Surfaces School MATHEMATICS Let $X$ be a smooth connected projective $K3$ surface over the complex numbers and let $Spl(r; c_1, c_2)$ be the moduli space of simple sheaves on $X$ of fixed rank $r$ and Chern classes $c_1$ and $c_2$. In 1984, Mukai proved that $Spl(r; c_1, c_2)$ is a smooth algebraic space of dimension $2rc_2-(r-1)c_1^2-2r^2+2$ with a natural symplectic sstricture, i.e., it has a non-degenerate closed holomorphic 2-form. In my talk, I will present a useful method to construct isotropic and Lagrangian subspaces of $Spl(r; c_1, c_2)$. This is joint work with Barbara Fantechi. https://zoom.us/join Meeting ID: 9086116889 18:00 - 19:00 Geometry and Topology Weekly Seminar Crossing Singularities into non-Kahler Complex Geometry School MATHEMATICS Kahler Calabi-Yau threefolds can be deformed into a non-Kahler object by degeneration and resolution. We will discuss various aspects of the geometrization of this process by special non-Kahler metrics. This is joint work with T. Collins and S.-T.
