• Categorification of biquandle arrow weight invariants via quivers (Migiwa Sakurai, Shibaura Institute of Technology)

    Estella 2099

    Biquandle arrow weights invariants are enhancements of the biquandle counting invariant for oriented virtual and classical knots defined from biquandle-colored Gauss diagrams using a tensor over an abelian group satisfying certain properties. In this talk, we categorify the biquandle arrow weight polynomial invariant using biquandle coloring quivers, obtaining new infinite families of polynomial invariants of […]

  • The Shooting Method in the Analysis of Two-Point Boundary-Value Problems (Adolfo J. Rumbos, Pomona College)

    Abstract: Two-point boundary-value problems (BVPs) appear frequently in applied mathematics.  When looking for solutions of boundary-value problems for some partial differential equations (PDEs) in mathematical physics, two-point BVPs come up as a result of applying the method of separation of variables, for instance. In the case of linear PDEs, the resulting two-point BVPs fall into […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Morse theory, Floer homology, and string topology (Ko Honda, UCLA)

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

    CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Professor Ko Honda, Professor of Mathematics at UCLA. Title: Morse theory, Floer homology, and string topology Abstract: One of the most important theories in geometry/topology is Floer homology, which can be viewed as a Morse theory of a loop space of a manifold (a generalization of a surface to […]
