MATH-512: Optimization on manifoldsWe develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemann
MATH-615: Gaussian free field through random walksIn this lecture series some important objects of random geometry are introduced and studied. In particular, the relation between the Gaussian free field and random walks / Brownian motions is explored
