GEMS Workshop: Exploring the fascinating world of prime numbers, Part II with Professor Adolfo Rumbos, from Pomona College.

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

TOPIC: Exploring the fascinating world of prime numbers, Part II The study of patterns in the sequence of prime numbers has fascinated mathematicians for centuries.  Are there formulas that generate prime numbers?  Are there patterns in the distribution of prime numbers and the distribution of gaps between consecutive primes?  In this series of two workshops, […]

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 where the transfinite Apollonian metric can be computed explicitly. This is a preliminary work.

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 applications of the conjecture.  For example, Landau’s conjecture, the twin prime conjecture, and the Green—Tao theorem are all consequences of the Bateman—Horn conjecture.  Moreover, the […]

Defining Ada: On The Legacy of Augusta Ada Byron King Lovelace (Gizem Karaali, Pomona College)

Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

Abstract: Augusta Ada, Countess of Lovelace, is today viewed as the rst person to recognize the power of algorithmic machines and a pioneer in computer programming. Her biographers have often disagreed on her mathematical talents, her mathematical contributions, and her legacy. In this talk I explore the various approaches taken towards her, focusing explicitly on […]

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.

CCMS Field Committee Meeting

Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

The Field Committee Meeting is our chance to socialize with our colleagues and coordinate our course offerings for the coming academic year (2019-2020). Please come to discuss course offerings and other synergistic items. Refreshments at 4:00, meeting at 4:15.

Simplicial Complexes, Configuration Spaces, and “Chromatic” Invariants (Andrew Cooper, NC State)

Roberts North 104, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

Given a space $X$, the configuration space $F(X,n)$ is the space of possible ways to place $n$ points on $X$, so that no two occupy the same position. But what if we allow some of the points to coincide? The natural way to encode the allowed coincidences is as a simplicial complex $S$. I will […]

Claremont Math Weekend 2019

Pryne Auditorium, Galileo Hall, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

On Saturday January 26th, Claremont Math Faculty will present 30 minute talks on their research. The goal of these presentations is to expose students, both graduate and undergraduate, to various areas of mathematics and applications that Claremont mathematicians are researching.  Faculty presenters will provide Claremont Colleges course titles and descriptions that are related to their […]

Applied Math Seminar Organizational Meeting

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

We will have an organizational meeting for the applied math seminar at 4:15pm in Emmy Noether Rm, Millikan 1021, Pomona on 1/28  (Monday). Anyone who in interested in suggesting speakers and/or organizing applied math seminar is welcome to come. 

Discrete compressed sensing: lattices and frames (Josiah Park, Georgia Tech)

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

Lattice valued vector systems have taken an important role in packing, coding, cryptography, and signal processing problems.  In compressed sensing, improvements in sparse recovery methods can be reached with an additional  assumption that the signal of  interest is lattice  valued, as demonstrated by A.  Flinth  and G. Kutyniok. Equiangular  tight  frames are  particular systems  of […]

Mathematics: Pure, Applied, A Liberal Art ( Al Erisman, Seattle Pacific University)

Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

From the view of a pure mathematician, those working in pure mathematics produce pure knowledge. Whether used or not, it has a great elegance and value in and of itself. Those in applied mathematics simply pick up what has been done and use it in designing or building things. Number theory is often used to […]

The Roger-Yang Arc Algebra (Helen Wong, CMC)

Roberts North 104, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

  Based on geometric considerations, J. Roger and T. Yang in 2014 defined a version of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra for punctured surfaces that includes arcs going from puncture to puncture. We'll provide a brief survey of known results about this arc algebra. In particular, I'd like to mention a recent algebraic result whose […]
