Hermitian Algebraic Geometry
Abstract: Hermitian Algebraic Geometry is the study of certain Hermitian forms on the dual space of polynomials of a given degree, or more generally on duals of spaces of global holomorphic sections of a holomorphic line bundle over a complex manifold.  In this talk I will try survey some part of the subject, mentioning some of the main results and unsolved problems.

DNA modeling and Klein-Gordon chains
Abstract: We will start with an overview of how we can model DNA taking into account only the major interactions between the nucleobases. This is coarse-grained enough that will later allow us to use Klein-Gordon equations to describe the DNA dynamics. In particular, we will focus on time-periodic spatially localized solutions and we will use Floquet theory to analyze their linear stability.
