Title: Voronoi Tessellations: Optimal Quantization and Modeling Collective Behavior Speaker: Prof. Rustum Choksi, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University Abstract: Given a set of N distinct points (generators) in a domain (a bounded subset of Euclidean space or a compact Riemannian manifold), a Voronoi tessellation is a partition of the domain into N regions […] |

Title: Geometry of continued fractions Speaker: Oleg Karpenkov, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Liverpool Abstract: In this talk we introduce a geometrical model of continued fractions and discuss its appearance in rather different research areas: -- values of quadratic forms (Perron Identity for Markov spectrum) -- the 2nd Kepler law on planetary motion -- Global relation […] |

Title: Linear independence, counting, and Hilbert's syzygy theorem Speaker: Youngsu Kim, Department of Mathematics, Cal State San Bernardino Abstract: Linear independence is an essential concept in mathematics and one of the most fundamental notions in linear algebra. Linear algebra studies the solutions of linear equations. Algebraic geometry studies the solutions of polynomial equations (of arbitrary degree). […] |

Title: Contact topology and geometry in high dimensions Speaker: Bahar Acu, Department of Mathematics, Pitzer College Abstract: A very useful strategy in studying topological manifolds is to factor them into ``smaller" pieces. An open book decomposition of an n-manifold (the open book) is a special map (fibration) that helps us study our manifold in terms of its (n-1)-dimensional […] |
