Diffusion, Social Networks, and Logic (Pavel Naumov, CMC)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaOnce a new commercial product, technology, political opinion, or social norm is adopted by a few people, these few often put peer pressure on others to consider adopting it as […]

Agent-Based and Continuous Models of Locust Hopper Bands: The Role of Intermittent Motion, Alignment, Attraction and Repulsion (Andrew J. Bernoff, HMC)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaLocust swarms pose a major threat to agriculture, notably in northern Africa and the Middle East. In the early stages of aggregation, locusts form hopper bands. These are coordinated groups […]

Minimal Gaussian Partitions, Clustering Hardness and Voting (Steven Heilman, USC)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaA single soap bubble has a spherical shape since it minimizes its surface area subject to a fixed enclosed volume of air. When two soap bubbles collide, they form a […]

CFTP: the algorithm ERGM deserves, but not the one it needs right now (Matt Moores, University of Wollongong)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaThe exchange algorithm enables Bayesian posterior inference for models with intractable likelihoods, such as Ising, Potts, or exponential random graph models (ERGM). Crucially, this algorithm relies on an auxiliary Markov […]

Crossing the Threshold: The Role of Demographic Stochasticity in the Evolution of Cooperation (Tom LoFaro, Gustavus Adolphus College)
Shanahan 3465, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesWhen Charles Darwin began writing “On the Origin of Species” he knew that explaining cooperative behavior in the context of “survival of the fittest” was problematic. In fact, this apparent […]

Digital sequences for frequency hopping CDMA systems (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaFrequency hopping is a method of transmitting signals by rapidly switching between many frequency channels, following some sequence of frequencies known to the transmitter and the receiver. This technique is used in […]

Turing mechanism for homeostatic control of synaptic density during C. elegans growth (Heather Zinn Brooks, UCLA)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaIt has been observed that motor neuron synapses in the worm C. elegans are remarkably evenly spaced, even during growth and development. In this work, we propose a novel mechanism […]
-
A renormalization approach to existence of the blow-up solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations (Denis Gaidashev, Uppsala University, Sweden)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaThe Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem is one of the most important open problems in modern mathematics. Ya. Sinai and D. Li have proposed a renormalization approach to constructing a counter-example […]

A Martingale Approach to the Question of Fiscal Stimulus (Michael Imerman, CGU)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaJoint work with Larry Shepp & Philip Ernst In this paper we develop a mathematical model to address an ongoing politico-economic debate between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats in the US […]

Transfinite $\zeta$-metrics (Zair Ibragimov, CMC)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaI will discuss the concept of transfinite ζ-metrics. In some details I will discuss transfinite Apollonian metric in the settings of semi-metric spaces. I will discuss specific examples of domains […]
