Applied Math Seminar: Ryan O’Dowd (Claremont Graduate University)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Learning on manifolds without manifold learning Abstract: Function approximation based on data drawn randomly from an unknown distribution is an important problem in machine learning. The manifold hypothesis assumes […]
Some Diophantine analogies between Dirichlet series and polynomials (Vesselin Dimitrov, Caltech)
Estella 2113I will present an integral — requiring no character twists — converse theorem for recognizing when is a Dirichlet series with algebraic integer coefficients equal to the L-function of a modular form. This […]

Permutation pattern avoidance, alternating sign matrices, and asymptotics (Justin Troyka, Cal State LA)
Estella 2113A big area in combinatorics over the last several decades has been the study of pattern-avoiding permutations, whose enumeration is exciting and mysterious. Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are a generalization […]
