How chemical networks can be in equilibrium

Abstract: Chemical networks, such as metabolism can be simulated to assist in an array of research including new drug discovery, personalized medicine, and testing high-risk treatment before applying it to humans. Improved biochemical simulations can also reduce our dependence on animal testing before clinical trials. This talk demonstrates a mathematical framework for biochemical systems that progresses toward improved early phase drug dis- covery and personalized medicine. =================================================

Syzygies of adjoint linear series on projective varieties

Abstract: Syzygies of algebraic varieties have long been a topic of intense interest among algebraists and geometers alike. Starting with the pioneering work of Mark Green on curves, numerous attempts have been made to extend these results to higher dimensions. Ein and Lazarsfeld proved that if A is a very ample line bundle, then K_X + mA satisfies property Np for any m ≥ n + 1 + p. It has ever since been an open question if the same holds true for A ample and basepoint free. In joint work with Purnaprajna Bangere we give a positive answer to this question. =============================================================

I hope you enjoy these math talks from top young mathematicians.
