SIGMA Seminar - What is the fractal uncertainty principle? - Aidan Backus (Brown University)

Friday, September 20, 2024 1:25–2:15 PM

Description
Title: What is the fractal uncertainty principle? Abstract: Let X be a fractal, and let f be a function. Can f and its Fourier transform both concentrate near X? Harmonic analysts would like to answer this question because it's interesting. Hyperbolic geometers would like to answer this question because there's a way to produce fractals from hyperbolic surfaces, and then answering the question tells us something about how geodesics behave. I would like to answer this question because I want to draw some cool pictures of fractals on the whiteboards of Monteith.

Every Body Welcome
Every Body Welcome The Every Body Welcome group is a semi structured therapy group dedicated to improving the relationships students have with food, eating, and exercise. It will focus on practicing body neutrality, developing self-compassion, and coping skills relating to eating and body image concerns. This session is held by Amy Parent, MSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/amy-parent/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.
