An organizational meeting for this semester's "Number Theory Learning Seminar will take place on Thursday September 3 at 4:00 PM in CGU’s Burkle Hall, Room 24. The Seminar is geared for graduate students, undergraduates, and faculty to learn about topics in number theory which are not typically covered in traditional classes. The volunteers will take […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Qidi Peng and William Wu from Claremont Graduate University. Title: How to create a die if you only have a coin? Abstract: Imagine you have no dice but only coins, how do you play a monopoly game? This lesson introduces a number of mysterious methods to simulate all probabilities […]
Given a polynomial defined over a field $K$, you can build an extension of $K_\infty / K$ by adjoining inverse images of some point $\alpha \in K$. The behavior of these extensions (including the degree , ramification, and associated Galois representations) are surprisingly different in the cases that $K$ is a number field versus a […]
This poster session is meant to showcase undergraduate and graduate work in the mathematical sciences, broadly interpreted, in a supportive environment. The poster session will take place at Claremont Graduate University at The Drucker Institute, 1021 N Dartmouth Ave from 4:15pm - 5:30pm, on Wednesday September 9th, 2026. Refreshments will be provided! For any […]
We showcase Newman's proof of the Prime Number Theorem, published by Don Zagier. Link: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2975232 For questions about the event, please contact your NTLS Organizers: Maxwell Kooiker (Maxwell.Kooiker@cgu.edu) or Prof. Edray Goins (Edray.Goins@pomona.edu)
In multi-armed trials, adaptive designs are a popular way to increase estimation efficiency or identify optimal treatments. Many recent papers have proposed adaptive methods for minimizing the error of unbiased estimators that consider each treatment arm in isolation. This approach may be inefficient, because it fails to borrow shared information across the treatment arms. We […]
Kloosterman sums are explicit exponential sums which occur in several contexts in number theory and arithmetic geometry. Bessel functions encode a great deal of representation-theoretic information about finite groups of Lie type, but they are difficult to compute in general. In this talk, we will carefully define these objects and describe a direct relationship between […]
