RESUMO Um grande marco histórico para a Matemática no Brasil foi o Primeiro Colóquio Brasileiro de Matemática, realizado no período de 1º a 20 de julho de 1957, no Palace Hotel, em Poços de Caldas/MG, sendo idealizado e coordenado pelo professor Chaim Samuel Hönig, e teve a colaboração de uma comissão organizadora com mais de dez membros de diferentes regiões do Brasil. O primeiro Colóquio contou com quarenta e nove professores de nove centros universitários brasileiros, além de outras pessoas que participaram como ouvintes. Este evento contribuiu para o desenvolvimento e o crescimento da Matemática brasileira, bem como propiciou contatos pessoais entre seus participantes. O presente trabalho tem como um dos objetivos contribuir, e acrescentar informações à História da Matemática no Brasil, identificando todos os participantes do Colóquio e organizando informações a partir de registros deste importante evento como a apresentação e identificação da Foto Oficial do Primeiro Colóquio Brasileiro de Matemática. Tal foto foi tirada no saguão do hotel, estando presente nela a maioria dos convidados deste colóquio como, também, algumas pessoas que os acompanhavam. São sessenta e duas pessoas, das quais quarenta e nove estão identificadas, e o restante não foram reconhecidas. Outro objetivo importante deste trabalho é apresentar, também, notas biográficas dos matemáticos brasileiros participantes deste colóquio, investigando e documentando sua trajetória acadêmica, seus trabalhos administrativos, suas pesquisas, obras e contribuições para a Matemática no Brasil, por meio de pesquisas em Arquivos e Acervos das principais instituições brasileiras, de entrevistas e da internet. Com este estudo espera- se que contribuamos com um dos temas da História da Matemática, que é Biografias, campo de investigação ainda muito inexplorado no que diz respeito à História da Matemática brasileira, apresentando dados confiáveis sobre os matemáticos do movimento científico brasileiro. Palavras Chaves: História da Matemática no Brasil. Primeiro Colóquio Brasileiro de Matemática. Foto Oficial do Primeiro Colóquio. Biografias. ABSTRACT A major milestone for Mathematics in Brazil was the First Brazilian Colloquium of Mathematics, realized from 1st to July 20th, 1957 at the Palace Hotel in Poços de Caldas, MG, being idealized and coordinated by Professor Chaim Samuel Hönig, and it had the collaboration of an organizing committee with more than ten members from different regions of Brazil. The first colloquium had forty- nine teachers from nine Brazilian university centers, and others who participated as listeners. This event contributed to the development and growth of Brazilian mathematics, as well as providing network personal contacts between participants. The present work has as one of objectives contributed and adding information to the History of Mathematics in Brazil, identifying all the participants of the Colloquium and organizing information from the records of this important event such as presentation and identification of the Official Photo of the First Brazilian Mathematics Colloquium. This photo was taken in the hotel hall, and the most of the guests of this colloquium was presented, as well, some people who accompanied them. Are sixty-two people, of which forty-nine are identified and the others were not recognized. Another objective important of this work is present also biographical notes of mathematicians Brazilian participants of this colloquium, investigating and documenting their academic career, their administrative work, their research works and contributions to mathematics in Brazil, through research in Archives and Collections of the mains Brazilian institutions, interviews and Internet. Then, we want to contribute to the Biographies, research field still unexplored, with reliable data on the mathematicians of the Brazilian scientific movement.

Introduction The study of foliation dynamics seeks to understand the asymptotic properties of leaves of foliated manifolds, their statistical properties such as orbit growth rates and geometric entropy, and to classify geometric and topological \structures" which are associated to the dynamics, such as the minimal sets of the foliation. The study is inspired by the seminal work of Smale [189] (see also arXiv:1104.4852v2 [math.DS] 25 Aug 2014 the comments by Anosov [13]) outlining a program of study for the differentiable dynamics for a Cr-diffeomorphism f : N ! N of a closed manifold N, r ≥ 1. The themes of this approach included: (1) Classify dynamics as hyperbolic, or otherwise; (2) Describe the minimal/transitive closed invariant sets and attractors; (3) Understand when the system is structurally stable under Cr-perturbations, for r ≥ 1; (4) Find invariants (such as cohomology, entropy or zeta functions) characterizing the system. Smale also suggested to study these topics for large group actions, which leads directly to the topics of these notes. The study of the dynamics of foliations began in ernest in the 1970's with the research programs of Georges Reeb, Stephen Smale, Itiro Tamura, and their students. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

  • Hodge Theory on Metric Spaces
    Hodge Theory on Metric Spaces Laurent Bartholdi∗ Georg-August-Universit¨atG¨ottingen Deutschland Thomas Schick∗ Nat Smale Georg-August-Universit¨atG¨ottingen University of Utah Deutschland Steve Smaley City University of Hong Kong With an appendix by Anthony W. Baker z Mathematics and Computing Technology The Boeing Company. Last compiled December 1, 2009; last edited December 1, by LB Abstract Hodge theory is a beautiful synthesis of geometry, topology, and anal- ysis, which has been developed in the setting of Riemannian manifolds. On the other hand, spaces of images, which are important in the math- ematical foundations of vision and pattern recognition, do not fit this framework. This motivates us to develop a version of Hodge theory on metric spaces with a probability measure. We believe that this constitutes a step towards understanding the geometry of vision. The appendix by Anthony Baker provides a separable, compact metric space with infinite dimensional α-scale homology. 1 Introduction Hodge Theory [21] studies the relationships of topology, functional analysis and geometry of a manifold. It extends the theory of the Laplacian on domains of Euclidean space or on a manifold. ∗email: [email protected] and [email protected] www: http://www.uni-math.gwdg.de/schick Laurent Bartholdi and Thomas Schick were partially supported by the Courant Research Center \Higher order structures in Mathematics" of the German Initiative of Excellence ySteve Smale was supported in part by the NSF, and the Toyota Technological Institute, Chicago zemail: [email protected] 1 2 Laurent Bartholdi, Thomas Schick, Nat Smale, Steve Smale However, there are a number of spaces, not manifolds, which could ben- efit from an extension of Hodge theory, and that is the motivation here.

  • Symplectic Foliations, Currents, and Local Lie Groupoids
    c 2018 Daan Michiels SYMPLECTIC FOLIATIONS, CURRENTS, AND LOCAL LIE GROUPOIDS BY DAAN MICHIELS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Susan Tolman, Chair Professor Rui Loja Fernandes, Director of Research Professor Ely Kerman Professor James Pascaleff Abstract This thesis treats two main topics: calibrated symplectic foliations, and local Lie groupoids. Calibrated symplectic foliations are one possible generalization of taut foliations of 3-manifolds to higher dimensions. Their study has been popular in recent years, and we collect several interesting results. We then show how de Rham’s theory of currents, and Sullivan’s theory of structure currents, can be applied in trying to understand the calibratability of symplectic foliations. Our study of local Lie groupoids begins with their definition and an exploration of some of their basic properties. Next, three main results are obtained. The first is the generalization of a theorem by Mal’cev. The original theorem characterizes the local Lie groups that are part of a (global) Lie group. We give the corresponding result for local Lie groupoids. The second result is the generalization of a theorem by Olver which classifies local Lie groups in terms of Lie groups. Our generalization classifies, in terms of Lie groupoids, those local Lie groupoids that have integrable algebroids. The third and final result demonstrates a relationship between the associativity of a local Lie groupoid, and the integrability of its algebroid. In a certain sense, the monodromy groups of a Lie algebroid manifest themselves combinatorially in a local integration, as a lack of associativity.

  • The Branch Set of Minimal Disks in Metric Spaces
    THE BRANCH SET OF MINIMAL DISKS IN METRIC SPACES PAUL CREUTZ AND MATTHEW ROMNEY Abstract. We study the structure of the branch set of solutions to Plateau’s problem in metric spaces satisfying a quadratic isoperimetric inequality. In our first result, we give examples of spaces with isoperimetric constant arbitrarily close to the Euclidean isoperimetric constant (4π)−1 for which solutions have large branch set. This complements recent results of Lytchak–Wenger and Stadler stating, respectively, that any space with Euclidean isoperimetric con- stant is a CAT(0) space and solutions to Plateau’s problem in a CAT(0) space have only isolated branch points. We also show that any planar cell-like set can appear as the branch set of a solution to Plateau’s problem. These results answer two questions posed by Lytchak and Wenger. Moreover, we investigate several related questions about energy-minimizing parametrizations of metric disks: when such a map is quasisymmetric, when its branch set is empty, and when it is unique up to a conformal diffeomorphism. 1. Introduction 1.1. Branch sets of minimal disks. Plateau’s problem asks for the existence of a disk of minimal area whose boundary is a prescribed Jordan curve of finite length. While the problem has a longer history, the first rigorous general solu- tions of Plateau’s problem in Euclidean space were given independently by Douglas [Dou31] and Radó [Rad30] in the 1930s. This has since been generalized to various other settings, including homogeneously regular Riemannian manifolds [Mor48], CAT(κ) spaces [Nik79], Alexandrov spaces [MZ10], and certain Finsler manifolds [OvdM14, PvdM17].

Kongres v Oslu Težave z udeležbo Težave zaradi nacizma, fašizma in stalinizma: veliko znanih nemških matematikov je do takrat že emigriralo, drugi so ostali doma, v Oslo so prišli oboji. Iz Italije sta menda prišli le dve matematicarki.ˇ Ker je Norveška leta 1936 podprla izkljucitevˇ Italije iz Lige narodov zaradi napada na Etiopijo, se noben italijanski matematik ni smel udeležiti kongresa v Oslu. Tudi Stalin ni dovolil ruskim matematikom potovanja v Oslo (menda zato, ker je takrat tam živel Lev Trocki). Nekateri so sicer bili prijavljeni, npr. Aleksander Gelfond in Aleksander Hincin,ˇ a jih ni bilo. Iz teh in drugih vzrokov je bilo vseh udeležencev manj kot prej, samo 487.
