We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Joe Breen (University of Iowa) Title: Open books in all dimensions Abstract: I will discuss recent work […]
We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Elena Wang (Michigan State University) Title: A Distance for Geometric Graphs via the Labeled Merge Tree Interleaving Distance Abstract: Geometric graphs appear in many real-world data sets, such as road networks, sensor networks, and molecules. We investigate the notion of distance between graphs […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Sam Nelson (CMC) Title: Biquandle Module Quiver Representations Abstract: Biquandle module enhancements are invariants of knots and links generalizing the classical Alexander module invariant. A quiver categorification of these invariants was introduced in 2020. In this work-in-progress (joint with Yewon Joung from Hanyang […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Migiwa Sakurai (Shibaura Institute of Technology) Title: Clasp pass moves and arrow polynomials of virtual knots Abstract: For classical knots, clasp pass moves are closely related to Vassiliev invariants of degree 3. Tsukamoto showed that the values of the Vassiliev invariant of degree […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Reginald Anderson (CMC) Title: Presentations of derived categories Abstract: A modification of the cellular resolution of the diagonal given by Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels gives a virtual resolution of the diagonal for smooth projective toric varieties and toric Deligne-Mumford stacks which are a global quotient of […]
