We will have an organizational meeting for the applied math seminar today. Anyone who is interested in suggesting speakers and/or organizing applied math seminar is welcome to come.
Small representations of integers by integral quadratic form (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
Small representations of integers by integral quadratic form (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
Given an isotropic integral quadratic form which assumes a value t, we investigate the distribution of integer points at which this value is assumed. Building on the previous work about the distribution of small-height zeros of quadratic forms, we produce bounds on height of points outside of some algebraic sets in a quadratic space at […]
An Algebra of Arcs and Knots on a Surface (Helen Wong, CMC)
An Algebra of Arcs and Knots on a Surface (Helen Wong, CMC)
The end of the previous century saw radical changes to three-dimensional topology, which arose from two completely different approaches. One breakthrough came from Bill Thurston's introduction of hyperbolic geometry into the field. The second one came from the Vaughn Jones’s discovery of a new "quantum" invariant for knots that brought in insight and techniques from […]
