Title:

Analysis and Application of Riemann-Hilbert and D-Bar Problems

Speaker:

Professor Ken McLaughlin
Mathematics Department
Arizona State University

Abstract:

I will describe two asymptotic results (and some background behind them, too): one concerning random matrix theory and one concerning the NLS equation. As a form of intermission, we will see emerging from the bowels of those considerations a crazy method for analyzing the asymptotic behavior of an integral.

Reception:

All are invited to attend.
