Weil sums of binomials: properties and applications (Daniel Katz, CSUN)

Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

We consider sums in which an additive character of a finite field F is applied to a binomial whose individual terms (monomials) become permutations of F when regarded as functions.  These Weil […]

A Martingale Approach to the Question of Fiscal Stimulus (Michael Imerman, CGU)

Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, California

Joint work with Larry Shepp & Philip Ernst In this paper we develop a mathematical model to address an ongoing politico-economic debate between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats in the US […]

Transfinite $\zeta$-metrics (Zair Ibragimov, CMC)

Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, California

I will discuss the concept of transfinite ζ-metrics. In some details I will discuss transfinite Apollonian metric in the settings of semi-metric spaces. I will discuss specific examples of domains […]

The Bateman—Horn conjecture II: applications (Stephan Garcia, Pomona)

Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

We begin with a review of the Bateman—Horn conjecture, which sheds light on the intimate relationship between polynomials and prime numbers.  In this expository talk, we survey a host of […]

Niebrzydowski tribrackets and algebras (Sam Nelson, CMC)

Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

In this talk we will survey recent work on Niebzydowski Tribrackets and Niebrydowski Algebras, algebraic structures related to region colorings the planar complements of knots and trivalent spatial graphs.
