Convergence analysis of the Alternating Anderson-Picard method for nonlinear fixed-point problems (Xue Feng, UCLA)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: Anderson Acceleration (AA) has been widely used to solve nonlinear fixed-point problems due to its rapid convergence. This talk focuses on a variant of AA in which multiple Picard […]

Classifying possible density degree sets of hyperelliptic curves (Jasmine Camero, Emory University)
Estella 2099Let $C$ be a nice (smooth, projective, geometrically integral) curve over a number field $k$. The single most important geometric invariant of a curve is the genus, which can control […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Robert Cass (Claremont McKenna College)
Fletcher 104, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, United StatesWe welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Robert Cass (Claremont McKenna College) Title: Schubert varieties are splinters Abstract: Schubert varieties are among the most well-studied singular algebraic varieties, and they have numerous applications in combinatorics and representation theory. In positive characteristic, Schubert varieties are known to be Frobenius split by […]

CCMS Colloquium: Jemma Lorenat (Pitzer)
Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United StatesCCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Jemma Lorenat (Pitzer) Title: Recognizing data: statistical literacies around 1900 Abstract: This talk centers on the first (and perhaps only) doctorate in the theory of correlations, granted by University College London in 1899 to Alice Lee. The production and reception of Lee's research sheds light on the varieties of […]

To Wait or Not to Wait? A Trade-off Between Population Externality and Signal Quality (Lan-Yi Liu, National Taiwan University)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: Transparency is vital for efficiency in social systems, yet individuals with critical information often strategically postpone disclosure, even when required, to benefit themselves. To study this behavior, we introduce a multi-stage Chinese restaurant game with incomplete information that features system-recommended action rules and varying levels of player foresight. In our model, players initially receive […]

Elementary probability via bundles (Wai Yan Pong, Cal State Dominguez Hills)
Estella 2099This talk explores elementary probability and statistics through the language of category theory. We introduce a category of Bundles and use it to reinterpret several results typically covered in an introductory course on probability and statistics. This approach naturally reveals the underlying geometric structures common to these results. The talk is accessible to anyone familiar […]

CCMS Colloquium: Robert Sanchez (HMC)
Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United StatesCCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Robert Sanchez (HMC) Title: Tides: Under the Sea and Under the Ice Abstract: Physical oceanography is the study of ocean fluid dynamics (e.g., waves, currents, plumes, turbulence). This talk will introduce physical oceanography and the methods used to analyze ocean data such as time-series analysis and numerical […]

A Signal Separation View of Classification (Ryan O’Dowd, CGU)
Estella 1021 (Emmy Noether Room), Pomona College Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: The problem of classification in machine learning has often been approached in terms of function approximation. In this talk, we propose an alternative approach for classification in arbitrary compact metric spaces which, in theory, yields both the number of classes, and a perfect classification using a minimal number of queried labels. Our approach uses […]

Non-vanishing of L-functions over function fields (Alexandra Florea, UC Irvine)
Estella 2099I will talk about some results concerning the non-vanishing of $L$-functions associated to fixed order characters $\ell$ at the central point over functions fields. Quadratic characters have been studied a […]
