Title : A Multi-Region Discrete Time Chain Binomial Model for Infectious
Disease
Transmission

Abstract : We explore a multi-category disease model to study about how
disease spreads in neighbouring geographical regions. Simulation results
and real data results based on a UK measles data is used for illustration
purposes.

Venue: Room 215

Abstract: We will start chapter 2 of Goldfeld--Hundley. Here, we'll define automorphic representations for GL(1) and apply the adelic Poisson summation formula to derive the functional equation of the Riemann zeta function.

Title: Optimality of Multivariate Crossover Design in Correlated Setup

Abstract: We consider multivariate crossover designs with correlation
between responses. In order to account for correlation between responses,
we consider the proportional and the generalized Markov-type of covariance
structures. We investigate efficiency using various structures for the
variance-covariance matrix within the response, namely the exponential,
gaussian and Mattern(1.5) structures. We prove that an orthogonal array
design of type I and strength 2 is A-, D- and E-optimal for the direct
effects under the proportional covariance structure. We propose the mixed
effects model using subject effects as random effects and obtain
the structure of the information matrix for the direct effects.

Title: Complete Nevanlinna-Pick Dirichlet series kernel and multiplier variety
Time, Day and Date: 3:00 - 4:00 p.m., Monday, September 30
Venue: Ramanujan Hall, Department of Mathematics

Abstract: In this talk, we will concentrate on Dirichlet series kernels, which are also complete Nevanlinna Pick (CNP) kernels. We will start with a characterization of such kernels. It is known that every CNP space is isometrically isomorphic to the Drury-Arveson space restricted to its smallest multiplier-variety. Therefore, determining the smallest multiplier-variety is crucial in our context. McCarthy and Shalit have shown that if we take CNP Dirichlet series kernels corresponding to d natural numbers which are log independent, then the smallest multiplier-variety is the full ball, and thus the RKHS corresponding to such Dirichlet series kernels are isometrically isomorphic to the Drury-Arveson space. In this talk, we will completely determine smallest multiplier-varieties for any CNP Dirichlet series kernels.

Title: Character values at elements of order 2.

Abstract: We aim to compute the character values of highest weight representations for
classical groups of types An, Bn, Cn, and Dn at specific conjugacy classes of order
2. We will demonstrate that these character values can be expressed either as
a product involving the dimensions of two highest weight representations from
classical subgroups, along with an additional constant term, or as an alternating
sum of products of the dimensions of two highest weight representations from the
classical subgroups, also accompanied by an extra constant term.
