Introduction to theory of Euclid graphs (Sin-Min Lee, SJSU)

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

In Euclidean geometry, the sum of  two sides of any  triangle is greater than the third side. We  introduce this idea to labeling of graphs. A (p,q)-graph G=(V,E) is said to […]

Topology Seminar: Sam Nelson (CMC)

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

Title: Biquandle Brackets and Knotoids Abstract: Biquandle brackets are a type of quantum enhancement of the  biquandle counting invariant for oriented knots and links, defined by a set of skein […]

Data-driven multiscale modeling of cell fate dynamics

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

Cells make fate decisions in response to dynamic environmental and pathological stimuli as well as cell-to-cell communications. Recent technological breakthroughs have enabled to gather data in previously unthinkable quantities at […]

Adinkras: Snapshots of Supersymmetry (Jordan Kostiuk, Brown University)

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

An “Adinkra” is a graphical tool to describe a branch of particle physics known as supersymmetry. Understanding the mathematics of Adinkras shines a light on the underlying physics, as well […]

Combinatorics and representation theory of Temperley-Lieb algebras (Zajj Daugherty, CUNY)

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

The classical, one-boundary, and two-boundary Temperley-Lieb algebras arise in mathematical physics related to solving certain rectangular lattice models.They also have beautiful presentations as "diagram algebras", meaning that they have basis […]

Topology Seminar: Jesse Levitt (USC)

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

Title: Understanding Structure in the Single Variable Knot Polynomials Abstract: We examine the dimensionality and internal structure of the aggregated data produced by the Alexander, Jones, and Z0 polynomials using topological data analysis and dimensional reduction […]

Freeways and Circle Packing

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

The beauty of mathematics is often encountered when one discovers that two apparently very different phenomena actually share a common origin. I will discuss such a surprising connection between two […]
