Math Graduate Seminar

Series: Math Graduate Seminar Series
Cyclic Pursuit on Manifolds
Dmitri Gekhtman, Graduate Student, Mathematics, Caltech,

N bugs on a compact Riemannian manifold move according to the following rule: bug 1 chases bug 2, bug 2 chases bug 3, and so on with bug N chasing bug 1. Each chases the next at unit speed. What happens?

The goal of the math graduate seminar is to provide a place for graduate students to interact and to present new/interesting developments from our respective areas of research. The seminar is organized by graduate students, and is intended for a graduate student audience. The speaker must present interesting/important facts from any area of mathematics in a way that can be understood by students from different backgrounds.

FREE PIZZAS AND SODAS WILL BE SERVED!
