Title: Viscoelastic Effects of Spontaneous Oscillations of Elastic Filaments in the Follower-Force Problem. Abstract: It is well know that microorganisms, such as bacteria and eukaryotes, often move in intricate environments […]
In 1932, Tarski conjectured that a convex body of width 1 can be covered by planks, regions between two parallel hyperplanes, only if the total width of planks is at […]
During this student-centered Applied Math Seminar, there will be discussion and presentation about upcoming courses in applied mathematics to help students make their enrollment choices for Fall 2022 and beyond.
In this talk we link discrete Markov spectrum to geometry of continued fractions. As a result of that we get a natural generalization of classical Markov tree which leads to […]
Convex real projective structures generalize hyperbolic structures in a rich way. We will discuss a class of manifolds introduced by Cooper Long and Tillmann, which include finite-volume cusped hyperbolic manifolds […]
Title: Geometry of continued fractions Speaker: Oleg Karpenkov, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Liverpool Abstract: In this talk we introduce a geometrical model of continued fractions and discuss its appearance in […]
I will explain how to apply presentations of algebras (together with some classical results from non-commutative algebra) to obtain some 5 polynomial invariants telling us when two pairs of 2x2 […]
Title: Linear independence, counting, and Hilbert's syzygy theorem Speaker: Youngsu Kim, Department of Mathematics, Cal State San Bernardino Abstract: Linear independence is an essential concept in mathematics and one of the […]
Title: Data science and applications in dynamic topic modeling Abstract: The shockwaves of the big data boom have thrown into sharp relief the critical need for domain-driven, large-scale data analytic […]
As $\lambda$ runs through all integer partitions, the set of Schur functions $\{s_{\lambda}\}_\lambda$ forms a basis in the ring of symmetric functions. Hence the rule $$s_{\lambda}s_{\mu}=\sum c_{\lambda,\mu}^{\gamma} s_{\gamma}$$ makes sense […]
Title: Contact topology and geometry in high dimensions Speaker: Bahar Acu, Department of Mathematics, Pitzer College Abstract: A very useful strategy in studying topological manifolds is to factor them into ``smaller" […]
Title: What is the best shape? Geometric problems arising in aggregation models Abstract: How do pair interactions shape the large-scale behaviour of a cloud of particles (animals, social agents ...) […]
