• 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, […]

  • Graph coloring reconfiguration systems (Prateek Bhakta, University of Richmond)

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

    For k >= 2, the k-coloring graph C(G) of a base graph G has a vertex set consisting of the proper k-colorings of G with edges connecting two vertices corresponding to two different colorings of G if those two colorings differ in the color assigned to a single vertex of G. A base graph whose […]

  • 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 this talk, we will define the orthosymplectic Lie superalgebras, realize $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ as differential operators on complex polynomials, and describe the space of polynomials in commuting […]

  • 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.
