Homological mirror symmetry, curve counting, and a classical example: 27 lines on a nonsingular cubic surface (Reggie Anderson, CMC)

Estella 2099

Though mirror symmetry requires much technical background, it gained traction in the mathematical community when physicists Candelas-de la Ossa-Green-Parkes discovered enumerative invariants counting the number of rational degree d curves inside of certain space called a ``quintic threefold." This answered longstanding problems in enumerative geometry from antiquity. In particular, the number of rational degree d=1 […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Adam Yassine (Pomona College)

Estella 2099

We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Adam Yassine (Pomona College) Title: A Structural Approach to Classical Mechanics Abstract: A structural approach to the study of classical mechanics clarifies the physical heuristics that physicists use in constructing mathematical models of classical mechanical systems. The focus of our current program is to develop […]

Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change (Amelia Stone-Johnstone, CSU Fullerton)

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

Title: Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change Speaker: ​Amelia Stone-Johnstone, Department of Mathematics, California State University, Fullerton Abstract: Active learning has been championed as a mechanism for greater student learning and participation in STEM. However, recent studies have demonstrated how active learning without an explicit equity focus may harm students from historically […]

Almost-prime times in horospherical flows (Taylor McAdam, Pomona)

Estella 2099

There is a rich connection between homogeneous dynamics and number theory.  Often in such applications it is desirable for dynamical results to be effective (i.e. the rates of convergence for dynamical phenomena are known).  In the first part of this talk, I will provide the necessary background and relevant history to state an effective equidistribution […]

*Cancelled* Claremont Topology Seminar: Iris Yoon (Wesleyan College)

Estella 2099

This talk has been cancelled. We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Iris Yoon (Wesleyan College) Title: A generalized Dowker complex for multi-way Relations Abstract: Given a relation between two sets X and Y, one can construct two simplicial complexes, one having X as its vertex set and the other […]

Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College)

Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

Title:  Can a function tell us how immune cells kill? Speaker: Prof. Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College, Claremont CA) Abstract: The immune system is able to fight cancer by mustering and training an army of effector “killer” cells.  Mathematical models of tumor-immune interactions must describe the proliferation, recruiting and killing rates of immune cells.  Earlier work surprisingly showed that […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Qing Zhang (UC Santa Barbara)

Estella 2099

We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Qing Zhang (UC Santa Barbara) Title: Super-modular categories from near-group centers Abstract: A super-modular category is a unitary pre-modular category with Müger center equivalent to the symmetric unitary category of super-vector spaces. The modular data for a super-modular category gives a projective representation […]

A Survey of Diophantine Equations (Edray Goins, Pomona College)

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

Title: A Survey of Diophantine Equations Speaker: ​Edray Herber Goins, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, Pomona College Abstract: There are many beautiful identities involving positive integers. For example, Pythagoras knew $3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2$ while Plato knew $3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3 = 6^3$. Euler discovered $59^4 + 158^4 = 133^4 + 134^4$, and even […]

Analysis seminar: Therese Basa Landry (UCSB)

Estella 2131, Pomona College 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United States

Title: Developments in Noncommutative Fractal Geometry Abstract:  As a noncommutative fractal geometer, I look for new expressions of the geometry of a fractal through the lens of noncommutative geometry.  At the quantum scale, the wave function of a particle, but not its path in space, can be studied.  Riemannian methods often rely on smooth paths to encode […]

Chiu-Yen Kao (Claremont McKenna College)

Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

Title: Geometric Optimization Involving Partial Differential Equations and Its Applications Speaker: Professor Chiu-Yen Kao, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA USA Abstract: Optimal geometric design for energy functionals, which depends on solutions to partial differential equations, provides a vast number of interesting and challenging mathematical problems. One of the famous problems is that L. Rayleigh conjectured that the disk […]
