In this talk we will survey recent work on Niebzydowski Tribrackets and Niebrydowski Algebras, algebraic structures related to region colorings the planar complements of knots and trivalent spatial graphs.
Lattice valued vector systems have taken an important role in packing, coding, cryptography, and signal processing problems. In compressed sensing, improvements in sparse recovery methods can be reached with an […]
Tight frames in Euclidean spaces are widely used convenient generalizations of orthonormal bases. A particularly nice class of such frames is generated as orbits under irreducible actions of finite groups […]
Given integers $k,l$ and a graph $G$, how large can be the fraction of $k$-vertex subsets of $G$ which span exactly $l$ edges? The systematic study of this very natural […]
An agent comes to a fork in a road. There is a sign that says that one of the two roads leads to prosperity and another to death. The agent […]
Modular forms are ubiquitous in modern number theory. For instance, showing that elliptic curves are secretly modular forms was the key to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. In addition […]
Chebotarev's theorem on roots of unity says that every minor of a discrete Fourier transform matrix of prime order is nonzero. We present a generalization of this result that includes […]
In 1897, Indiana physician Edwin J. Goodwin believed he had discovered a way to square the circle, and proposed a bill to Indiana Representative Taylor I. Record which would secure […]
I will talk about a few graph-theoretic metrics then introduce the concept of refinements on a class of functions that include all metrics. As a case study, we will construct various […]
A Fibonomial is what is obtained when you replace each term of the binomial coefficients $ {n \choose k}$ by the corresponding Fibonacci number. For example, the Fibonomial $${ 6\brace […]
For centuries finding the determinant of a matrix was considered to be something that took $\Theta(n^3)$ steps. Only in 1969 did Strassen discover that there was a faster method. In […]
In this talk, I will try to give a fun introduction to tropical geometry and Hassett spaces, and show how tropical geometry can be used to compute the Chow rings […]
