El CRM va participar en la 30a edició de la Setmana de la Ciència amb una ruta guiada que va combinar les biografies de dones matemàtiques amb obres d’art del centre, connectant ciència, història i creació artística.
El 12 de novembre, el Centre de Recerca Matemàtica va obrir les portes a visitants que van recórrer els passadissos del centre amb una missió clara: descobrir les històries de dones que han transformat les matemàtiques i deixar-se sorprendre per l’art que habita entre les equacions.
La ruta Dones, formes i pensament va combinar l’exposició Figures visibles amb obres artístiques del centre, guiada per Pau Varela i Natalia Vallina, del Departament de Comunicació, i Javier Guillán, estudiant de doctorat al CRM. Durant una hora, els participants van passejar per les biografies d’Emmy Noether, Maryam Mirzakhani, Maria Assumpció Català i altres matemàtiques que van obrir camí en contextos sovint hostils. Les explicacions van anar més enllà dels teoremes: qui eren aquestes dones, què van haver de superar, i com les seves idees ressonen encara avui en la recerca actual.
El recorregut també es va aturar davant de dues pintures Geomètric de Mercè Rodoreda, una faceta poc coneguda de l’escriptora, i les escultures Creation de John Robinson i Bonds of Friendship de Jeff Robinson, peces que conviden a pensar en simetries, topologia i la construcció del coneixement des d’una mirada que no distingeix entre art i ciència.
Una activitat emmarcada en la 30a edició de la Setmana de la Ciència que reivindica el que el CRM fa cada dia: connectar la recerca matemàtica amb el món, i recordar que darrere de cada teoria hi ha sempre una persona.

The Fully Nonlinear Thin Obstacle Problem Attains Optimal Regularity
Obstacle problems are a fundamental class of questions in the analysis of partial differential equations. They describe situations in which a quantity can evolve freely, but is subject to a restriction that prevents it from crossing a certain barrier. One intuitive...

What memory has to balance: Representational drift, network freezing, and the mechanisms that hold neural circuits in between
Two recent papers from the Computational and Mathematical Neuroscience group at CRM ask what makes neural circuits drift in the first place, and what keeps them from collapsing under their own learning rules. One, published in PNAS, traces representational drift in...
