We start by introducing the traditional method for closed surfaces in R^n. Then focus on the numerical solution to 3D axisymmetric, closed surfaces. Finally, we attempt to formulate a 2nd kind integral equation for the open surface case. We will take a look at the numerical difficulties and future work that arise from these problems.</div><div class="event_time">14:00 &bull; Université de Genève, Conseil Général 7-9, Room 1-05</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Wednesday, August 20      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Thursday, August 21      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item no_event">        No events scheduled today!        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, August 22      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Dr. Nitin Chidambaram (University of Edinburgh)</div><div class="event_title">Theta classes: integrability, W-constraints and topological recursion <span class="abstract-button do_not_print">abstract</span></div><div class="abstract-text" style="display: none"><strong>Abstract:</strong><br />I will talk about a sequence of cohomology classes Theta^{r,s}_{g,n} on the moduli space of curves, which depend on two parameters (r,s) where 1 &#8804; s &#8804; r–1. Defined using the moduli space of r-th roots, Theta^{r,s} defines a non semi-simple CohFT of rank r–1 that can be viewed as an analogue of the Witten r-spin class (which corresponds to the case s = r+1). Theta^{r,s} satisfies various nice properties — the descendant potential is a tau function of the r-KdV hierarchy (i.e., a version of the Witten r-spin conjecture), satisfies W-algebra constraints, can be calculated via “determinantal formulas” and satisfies a generalised Eynard–Orantin style topological recursion.</div><div class="event_time">15:00 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/algebraic-geometry-and-moduli-seminar">Algebraic Geometry and Moduli Seminar</a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker">Prof. Dr. Rahul Pandharipande</div><div class="event_title">R-matrix of the Hilbert scheme</div><div class="event_time">16:45 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
