On the illumination problem for convex sets (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
Let K be a compact convex set in the Euclidean space R^n. How many lights are needed to illuminate its boundary? A classical conjecture of Boltyanskii (1960) asserts that 2^n […]

Applied Math Seminar: Ryan Aschoff (UC Riverside)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Smooth non-decaying solutions to the 2D dissipative quasi-geostrophic equations Abstract: In this talk we explore the two-dimensional dissipative surface quasi-geostrophic (SQG) equation with fractional diffusion of order 2α for α ∈ (1/2,1], focusing on the setting where the initial data does not decay at spatial infinity and periodicity is not assumed. In geophysical applications, […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Morgan Weiler (University of California, Riverside)
Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesWe especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Morgan Weiler (University of California, Riverside) Title: Anchored symplectic embeddings and 2-parameter persistence Abstract: Symplectic geometry is a generalization of classical mechanics, in which position and momentum coordinates are paired. In two dimensions, symplectic geometry is equivalent to volume-preserving geometry, but in […]

GEMS March 1st Session
Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesThis GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Jemma Lorenat from Pitzer College. Title: Playing with the Rules of Geometries Abstract: This session will explore how a small set of rules can be used to build and investigate geometrical objects. Through drawing, folding, and imagining, we will see how a limited number of possible actions ground a wide range […]
