  • On the geometry of lattice extensions (Max Forst, CGU)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    Given a lattice L, an extension of L is a lattice M of strictly greater rank so that L is equal to the intersection of the subspace spanned by L […]

  • Human Computers in Astronomy: Women Astronomers at Mount Wilson Observatory during the Early Twentieth Century (Prof. Eun-Joo Ahn)

    Humanities Auditorium, Scripps College, and Zoom Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Human Computers in Astronomy: Women Astronomers at Mount Wilson Observatory during the Early Twentieth Century Speaker: Eun-Joo Ahn, Department of History, UC Santa Barbara Abstract: Mount Wilson Observatory was founded by astrophysicist George Ellery Hale in 1904 with funding from the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Since then, it has become one of the most prominent […]

  • Quantum metrics on the natural numbers (Katrine von Bornemann Hjelmborg, University of Southern Denmark)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    Quantum metrics in the sense of Rieffel were introduced to prove some statements arising in the high-energy physics literature. Since then, the area of quantum metric geometry has been used to answer questions stemming from within mathematics as well. To prove such results, it is often the case that certain properties of a quantum metric […]

    Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

  • H.S.M. Coxeter’s Theory of Accessibility: A Narrative in the Language of Synthetic Projective Geometry (Elena Marchisotto, Cal State Northridge)

    Fletcher 110, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, CA, United States

    The relation of accessible points in a projective incidence plane defined by Coxeter in the 1960s is the focus of my narrative. It reveals historical pathways bookending the 19th and 20th centuries that bring G.K.C. von Staudt, Mario Pieri, Marvin Greenberg and others into the conversation. The published references to Coxeter’s theory, including his own, […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Susan Friedlander (USC)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Kolmogorov, Onsager and a Dyadic Model for Turbulence Abstract: We will briefly review Kolmogorov’s ( 41) theory of homogeneous turbulence and Onsager’s ( 49 ) conjecture that in 3-dimensional turbulent flows energy dissipation might exist even in the limit of vanishing viscosity. Although over the past 70 years there is a vast body of […]

  • Properties of redistricting Markov chains (Sarah Cannon, CMC)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    Markov chains have become widely-used to generate random political districting plans. These random districting plans can be used to form a baseline for comparison, and any proposed districting plans that […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Anna Nelson (Duke)

    Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Mathematical modeling of polymerization processes in physiology Abstract: Polymerization, or aggregation, is essential for many physiological systems. For example, the emergence of a fibrin polymer mesh during the formation of a blood clot is required for a stable clot and long-term, sustained intracellular transport in neurons rely on persistent yet dynamic polymers that comprise the […]

  • Prof. Josiah Park

    Humanities Auditorium, Scripps College, and Zoom Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Packing lines, minimizing energy, and applications to communications Speaker: Josiah Park, Department of Mathematics, Texas A&M University Abstract: Structured geometric point sets play important roles in coding theory, mathematical biology, computational chemistry, wireless communications, compressed sensing, and 'big data' applications due to their often desirable statistical properties for measurement and transmission. Best packings of […]
