18 Geometry and Topology
Geometry and Topology Speaker: Brooke Shipley (Illinois/Chicago) "An algebraic model for rational torus-equivariant stable homotopy theory" Time: 13:30 Room: MC 107 Distinguished Lecture
Distinguished Lecture Speaker: Gunnar Carlsson (Stanford) "Topology and Data, I" Time: 15:00 Room: MC 107 The need for effective methods of generating information and
ultimately knowledge from experimental data is increasingly acute, due to
the fact that such data is being generated at a rapidly growing rate and
that the data now comes in much more varied forms than even a few years
ago. One way of thinking about data is through its "shape", i.e. about
the geometry it caries through the existence of a metric on it. In these
talks, we will discuss how one can measure and represent the shape of data
using adaptations of methods of topology to point cloud data, or finite
metric spaces. We will discuss the computational methodology, and
illustrate with various examples.
