Le Bulletin Automne/Fall 2012 — Volume 18, No 2 — Le Centre De Recherches Mathématiques
C CENTRE R DE RECHERCHES M MATHÉMATIQUES Le Bulletin Automne/Fall 2012 — Volume 18, No 2 — Le Centre de recherches mathématiques Geometric Analysis and Spectral Theory Aisenstadt Chairs The Aisenstadt Chair allows us to welcome in each of the thematic programs, two or three world-famous mathematicians for a one-week to a one-semester stay. The recipients of the chair give a series of conferences on set subjects, chosen because of their relevance and impact, within the thematic program, the first of which, in compliance to the donor André Aisenstadt’s wish, must be accessible to a large public. Scientific activities related to the semester “Geometric Analysis and Spectral Theory” included three Aisenstadt lecture series, by R. Schoen, L. Erdős and E. Lindenstrauss, described below. Elon Lindenstrauss the classical dynamics is uniformly hyperbolic, hence “chaotic,” the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian should become equidistributed in the semiclassical limit. In the first lecture titled “Entropy and Quantum Unique Ergodic- ity,” Professor Lindenstrauss gave an overview of ergodic flows, Kol- mogorov – Sinai entropy of ergodic measures, Ledrappier – Young entropy formula, and Bowen – Margulis theorem on equidistribution of periodic orbits. He then reviewed Shnirelman’s Quantum Ergod- icity theorem, Quantum Unique Ergodicity conjecture, and discussed recent results due to Anantharaman, Nonnenmacher and Koch that hold for general negatively curved surfaces. The second and third lectures were devoted to Quantum Unique Ergodicity on finite area arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces. Such sur- faces possess a lot of symmetry, provided by the Hecke operators. Joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and those operators are called Hecke – Maass automorphic forms. -

J., "An Examination of the Factors and Characteristics that Contribute to the Success of Putnam Fellows" (2015). Doctoral Dissertations. 985. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/985 An Examination of the Factors and Characteristics that Contribute to the Success of Putnam Fellows Robert Alexander James Stroud, PhD University of Connecticut, 2015 The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is an intercollegiate mathematics competition for undergraduate college and university students in the United States and Canada and is regarded as the most prestigious and challenging mathematics competition in North America (Alexanderson, 2004; Grossman, 2002; Reznick, 1994; Schoenfeld, 1985). Students who earn the five highest scores on the examination are named Putnam Fellows and to date, despite the thousands of students who have taken the Putnam Examination, only 280 individuals have won the Putnam Competition. Clearly, based on their performance being named a Putnam Fellow is a remarkable achievement. In addition, Putnam Fellows go on to graduate school and have extraordinary careers in mathematics or mathematics- related fields. Therefore, understanding the factors and characteristics that contribute to their success is important for students interested in STEM-related fields. The participants were 25 males who attended eight different colleges and universities in North America at the time they were named Putnam Fellows and won the Putnam Competition four, three, or two times. -
