• On badly approximable numbers (Nikolai Moshchevitin, Moscow State University)

    Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, California

    It is well known that a real number is badly approximable if and only if the partial quotients in its continued fraction expansion are bounded. Motivated by a recent wonderful paper by Ngoc Ai Van Nguyen, Anthony Poels and Damien Roy (where the authors give a simple alternative solution of Schmidt-Summerer's problem) we found an […]

  • Discrepancy theory and related questions (Dmitriy Bilyk, University of Minnesota)

    Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    The talk will concentrate on open questions related to the optimal bounds for the discrepancy of an $N$-point set in the $d$-dimensional unit cube. The so-called star-discrepancy measures the difference between the actual and expected number of points in axis-parallel rectangles, and thus measures the equidistribution of the set. This notion has been explored by H. Weyl, K. Roth, and many others, […]

  • Finding bases of new infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ ( Dwight Williams, UT Arlington)

    Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, California

    The orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is rich in representation theory: while the finite dimensional $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$-module category is semisimple, the study of infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is wide open. In […]

  • ANTC talk by Dagan Karp (HMC)

    Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, California
  • Region colorings in knot theory (Sam Nelson, CMC)

    On Zoom

    In this talk we will survey recent developments in the use of ternary algebraic structures known as Niebrzydowski Tribrackets in defining invariants of knots, with some perhaps surprising applications.
