GEMS Workshop: Working Together without a Leader with Professor Jasper Weinburd of Harvey Mudd College

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

TOPIC: Working Together without a Leader Bees all work together by communicating and obeying the orders of the Queen. Other animals gather in swarms, flocks, or schools and move in complicated ways without any leader at all. In a school of fish, each one is identical and they all follow the same simple rules. Yet they still […]

Applied Math Talk: Set your parasites low (or high) given by Professor Maryann Hohn (Pomona College)

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

Individuals may choose to create social groups where their individual fitness and success is influenced by those around them.  A group may increase an individual's success in finding food, shelter, and safety; however, if the group fails, so does the individual.  In this talk, we will explore how choices of individuals influence group dynamics using both agent-based modeling […]

Computational bounds for doing harmonic analysis on permutation modules of finite groups (Mike Orrison, HMC)

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

In this talk, I will describe an approach to finding upper bounds for the number of arithmetic operations necessary for doing harmonic analysis on permutation modules of finite groups. The approach takes advantage of the intrinsic orbital structure of permutation modules, and it uses the multiplicities of irreducible submodules within individual orbital spaces to express […]

Epidemiological models for Ebola exploring different dynamics

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

In today's environment of universal connection and media updates, we are constantly informed about infectious diseases and the ramifications. We can combat infectious diseases using mathematics to gain insight into diseases dynamics and outbreaks. I will focus primarily on Ebola Virus Disease, exploring different models focused on capturing various dynamics. First, I will present a […]

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 (2020-2021). Please come to discuss course offerings and other synergistic items. Refreshments starting at 3:15, meeting at 4:15.

Dragging the roots of a polynomial to the unit circle (Sinai Robins, University of Sao Paulo)

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

Several conditions are known for a self-inversive polynomial that ascertain the location of its roots, and we present a framework for comparison of those conditions. We associate a parametric family of polynomials p_α(x) to each such polynomial p, and define cn(p), il(p) to be the sharp threshold values of α that guarantee that, for all […]

Applied Math Talk: Statistical Mechanics of Molecular Evolution and its Role in the SELEX Protocol given by Prof. Bhaven Mistry (CMC)

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

Antibodies are the standard biomolecule for marking molecular structures and delivering drugs due to their specific binding capabilities. However, they are expensive to produce and their relatively large size prevents their easy traversal of bi-lipid membranes. Over the past 30 years, molecular recognition has also been achieved through the use of aptamers, short oligonucleotide sequences […]

Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of edge ideals of graphs (Siamak Yassemi, University of Tehran)

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

Let K be a field and S = K be the polynomial ring in n variables over K. For a graded S-module M with minimal free resolution the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity  is defined. We survey a number of recent studies of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the ideals related to a graph and their (symbolic) powers. Our […]

Stefano Vidussi (UCRiverside)

Title: The BNS invariant of the fundamental group of a surface bundle over a surface. Abstract: We will discuss some new results on the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant of these groups, showing in particular that (with obvious exceptions) they algebraically fiber. As a corollary, we show that for "most" bundles these groups are not coherent.

A Tauberian theorem and some of its applications

Freeberg Forum, LC 62, Kravis Center, CMC

In general terms, a Tauberian theorem deals with the relationship between the properties of one transform of a measure with those of another transform. We will introduce the notion of a Tauberian theorm, and present our own recent theorem in this direction. Our theorem provides a uniform theory for the construction of certain localized kernels […]

GEMS Workshop: Superheroes vs. Supercomputers with Professor Jeho Park of Claremont McKenna College

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

  TOPIC: Superheroes vs. Supercomputers Superheroes like Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Superman, and Captain Marvel, just to name a few, all have "super" power and they save the world from "super"-villains. Well, just one catch--they are not real. In our real world, there are computers built for super power to save the (real) world. In this […]
