• Applied Math Seminar: Christina Edholm (Scripps College)

    Estella 1021 (Emmy Noether Room), Pomona College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Controlling the unmanageable: insight into control methods for biological systems Abstract: When formulating a model for a biological system, often we want to use the model to understand the implications of management options and how to optimize the implementation. There are various methods for implementing management through control theory, ranging from basic, optimal control, […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Sam Nelson (CMC)

    Estella 2099

    We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Sam Nelson (CMC) Title: Biquandle Module Quiver Representations Abstract: Biquandle module enhancements are invariants of knots and links […]

  • Biquandle module quiver representations (Sam Nelson, CMC)

    Estella 2113

    Biquandle module enhancements are invariants of knots and links generalizing the classical Alexander module invariant. A quiver categorification of these invariants was introduced in 2020. In this work-in-progress (joint with […]

    Estella 2393, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, United States

    Title: A crash course in Bornologies Abstract: By a bornology on a nonempty set X, we mean a family of subsets that contains the singletons, that is stable under finite […]

  • Presentations of derived categories (Reginald Anderson, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    A modification of the cellular resolution of the diagonal given by Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels gives a virtual resolution of the diagonal for smooth projective toric varieties and toric Deligne-Mumford stacks which are […]

  • A polyhedral view of refined q-t Catalan numbers (Max Hlavacek, Pomona College)

  • Applied Math Seminar: Sarah Marzen (Department of Natural Science)

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

    Title: How well do neurons, humans, and artificial neural networks predict? Abstract: Sensory prediction is thought to be vital to organisms, but few studies have tested how well organisms and parts of organisms efficiently predict their sensory input in an information-theoretic sense.  In this talk, we report results on how well cultured neurons ("brain in […]

  • Adinkras as Origami? (Edray Goins, Pomona College)

    Estella 2113

    Around 20 years ago, physicists Michael Faux and Jim Gates invented Adinkras as a way to better understand Supersymmetry.  These are bipartite graphs whose vertices represent bosons and fermions and […]
