Abstract: Characteristics of linear hydroelastic waves propagating in an ice channel are investigated. The channel is of rectangular cross section with finite depth and of infinite extent. Liquid in the channel is inviscid and incompressible. The liquid flow caused by the ice deflection is potential. The ice is modeled by a thin elastic plate. The coupled hydroelastic problem is reduced to the problem of the wave profiles across the channel. The wave profiles are sought as series of normal dry modes of the plate, coefficients of which are to be determined. Dispersion relations of these hydroelastic waves, their critical speeds, and corresponding strain and stress distributions in the plate are determined. Several special cases in which boundary conditions, ice thickness distributions across the channel width, and ice plate compression were changed were investigated and compared with each other.

Abstract: Modelling response of an elastic floating plate to a body moving under the plate is discussed. The original problem is nonlinear and coupled with the plate deflection being dependent on the hydrodynamic pressure, which in turn depends on the plate deflection. It is shown that the problem can be treated as decoupled for some conditions of the body motion, which significantly simplifies the analysis. Within the decoupled model, the body motion and the hydrodynamic pressure along the plate/water interface are calculated without account for the plate deflection. Then this pressure is applied to the equations of the plate dynamics without account for the fluid response to the plate deflection. It is known that only rather small strains are allowed in ice plates, which limits the deflections of the ice and importance of the nonlinear effects. It is shown that nonlinear effects in problems of hydroelastic response of floating ice sheets can be approximately neglected in many practical situations.

Abstract: An edge cover of a simple graph is a subset of the edges so that each vertex is incident with at least one edge in the subset. The edge cover polynomial of a graph is the generating polynomial of the number of edge covers of the graph. Specifically, the edge cover polynomial is defined as where is the number of edge covers with edges. The edge cover polynomials of path and cycle graphs are known to have real roots, and hence have log-concave and unimodal coefficients. In this talk, we will describe how to construct other graph families whose edge cover polynomials have real roots and some whose polynomials have non-real roots, but still have log- concave and unimodal coefficients. This is joint work with Evan Henning and Can Selek.

Abstract: In this talk we will talk about symplectic supergeometries and their applications coming from different areas of mathematical physics. In the first part, we will look at an application regarding statistical mechanical applications to systems with discrete degrees of freedom (math-ph:2311.05711). In the second part, we will talk about algebraic structure of symmetries associated with string/membrane models which are called algebroids. Moreover for string dualities one is interested in bialgebroids and their Drinfel’d doubles. These notions can naturally be studied using symplectic supergeometries (Voronov, Roytenberg). In this talk we will talk about reformulations of these structures in terms of vector bundles and calculi that we defined on them (hep-th:2312.06584).

Abstract: In this talk, we first define ultrafilters on a non-empty set. Then, we see that there is a natural topology on the set of ultrafilters on the positive integers, and in fact this is the Stone-Cech compactification of the positive integers. Moreover, this compact space has an associative binary operation extending the addition of the positive integers. Finally, we will show how this topological semigroup is crucial for proving Ramsey theoretical results from combinatorics.

Abstract: One of the fundamental cornerstones of commutative ring theory is the prime avoidance theorem, which states that, if 
are prime ideals of 
and 
is an ideal of such that 
, then 
for some 
. In this talk, we give a proof for the countable version of this theorem due to Sharp and Vamos. The proof uses the celebrated Baire’s category theorem in metric spaces. We then discuss its generalization to the prime submodules.

Abstract: The ring 
, having only one unit, cannot be generated by its units. It turns out, in the general theory of rings, that this is essentially the only example. In this talk, we give an elementary proof of “A finite commutative ring with nonzero identity is generated by its units if and only if it cannot have as a quotient.” The proof uses graph theory and pointed out to the story of how unit graphs have been arisen. At the end, we discuss some of the recent developments in the theory.

Abstract: Fermat’s little theorem states that if 
is a prime number, then 
(mod ) holds true for any integer 
. One may ask what happens when is not a prime. The answer to this question seems little known to mathematicians, even to number theorists (as Dickson said in his “History of the Theory of Numbers”). In this talk, we discuss the missing result which is essentially due to Gauss and its generalizations.
