Central Concerns in Homotopy Theory
Homotopy theory distinguishes itself by classifying objects up to homotopy, rather than the stricter notion of homeomorphism. In this talk, we will explore the problems this creates, and the consequences of this viewpoint.

The Mathematics of Relativistic Fluid Dynamics
Abstract: In this talk, I will outline the basic propositions of classical fluids. Then, I introduce relativistic inviscid fluids: the relativistic Euler equations. There is special attention paid to the free-boundary situation with the physical vacuum condition. Finally, I consider the linearized physical vacuum boundary problem and show the energy estimate and existence of solutions.
