The behavior of these extensions (including the degree , ramification, and associated Galois representations) are surprisingly different in the cases that $K$ is a number field versus a […]	1 event 9 1 event, 9 4:15 pm - 5:30 pm Fall 2026 Research Poster Session September 9 @ 4:15 pm - 5:30 pm Fall 2026 Research Poster Session This poster session is meant to showcase undergraduate and graduate work in the mathematical sciences, broadly interpreted, in a supportive environment.

Many recent papers have proposed adaptive methods for minimizing the error of unbiased estimators that consider each treatment arm in isolation. This approach may be inefficient, because it fails to borrow shared information across the treatment arms. We […]	1 event 15 1 event, 15 12:15 pm - 1:10 pm Kloosterman sums and Bessel functions (Robert Cass, CMC) September 15 @ 12:15 pm - 1:10 pm Kloosterman sums and Bessel functions (Robert Cass, CMC) Kloosterman sums are explicit exponential sums which occur in several contexts in number theory and arithmetic geometry. Bessel functions encode a great deal of representation-theoretic information about finite groups of Lie type, but they are difficult to compute in general. In this talk, we will carefully define these objects and describe a direct relationship between […]	1 event 16 1 event, 16 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm Edge Ideals via Independence Polynomials of Graphs — Dalena Vien (Bryn Mawr) September 16 @ 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm Edge Ideals via Independence Polynomials of Graphs — Dalena Vien (Bryn Mawr) Abstract: Edge ideals of graphs provide a fertile ground for uncovering combinatorial expressions for algebraic invariants of squarefree monomial ideals. Many algebraic invariants of these edge ideals directly reflect combinatorial properties of their underlying graphs. In this talk, I will discuss how the independence polynomial P_G(x), the generating function for independent sets of a graph G, […]	1 event 17 1 event, 17 4:15 pm - 5:30 pm NT Learning Seminar — Diophantine Rep. of the Set ℙ (TBA) September 17 @ 4:15 pm - 5:30 pm NT Learning Seminar — Diophantine Rep. of the Set ℙ (TBA) We showcase Diophantine Representation of the Set of Prime Numbers by Jones, Sato, Wada and Wiens.

The preimage z^{-1}\bigl( \bigr) \subseteq S \hookrightarrow \mathbb{R}^3 is a bipartite graph called a Dessin d'Enfant.

In the case when the cone is spanned by lattice points, this Hilbert basis is finite, however its cardinality can be much larger than n. Nevertheless, a conjecture of Sebö states that each point […], 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm Claremont Topology Seminar: Sam Nelson (CMC) September 22 @ 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm Claremont Topology Seminar: Sam Nelson (CMC) Speaker: Sam Nelson (CMC) Title: Permutation Jones Polynomials Abstract: The Jones Polynomial is an important invariant of knots with applications in physics, quantum computation and more.

Abstract: The logistic map is one of the most famous examples in dynamical systems. Originally introduced as a simple model of population growth, it exhibits a surprisingly rich range of behavior: as a single parameter varies, stable equilibria give way to periodic orbits and eventually to chaos. But in real populations, […]	0 events 24 0 events, 24	0 events 25 0 events, 25	0 events 26 0 events, 26

Wisconsin, Milwaukee) A wide variety of medical imaging methods exist for research and diagnostic procedures on the Central Nervous System (CNS), among them Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Optical Imaging. Mathematical modeling and simulation contribute significantly to an improved understanding of image data and the intricate transport, diffusion, and metabolic processes in the brain. This is of […]	1 event 29 1 event, 29 12:15 pm - 1:10 pm From the basics of extremal graph theory to bipartite Turan numbers of trees and star forests (Omid Khormali, HMC) September 29 @ 12:15 pm - 1:10 pm From the basics of extremal graph theory to bipartite Turan numbers of trees and star forests (Omid Khormali, HMC) Extremal graph theory asks how many edges a graph can have while avoiding a given substructure. We will begin with a brief, accessible introduction to this area, before turning to a natural variant, the bipartite Turan number $(m,n;H)$, which restricts the host graph to be bipartite. This setting is especially natural when $H$ itself is […]	1 event 30 1 event, 30 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm CCMS Colloquium: Stable Khovanov Homology for Torus Links — Christine Lee (Texas State University) September 30 @ 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm CCMS Colloquium: Stable Khovanov Homology for Torus Links — Christine Lee (Texas State University) Abstract: Stable Khovanov homology Kh(T(n, \infty)) is an algebraic limit of the Khovanov homology groups of torus links T(n, k) on a fixed number of strands n, when more and more full twists are added as k \to \infty. Stable Khovanov homology is intimately related to the Jones polynomial because it categorifies the Jones-Wenzl projector, […]
