The classical Noether-Lefschetz Theorem states that a suitably general algebraic surface S of degree d ≥ 4 in complex projective 3-space P3 contains no curves besides complete intersections, that is, […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Vijay Higgins (UCLA) Title: Webs and skein algebras Abstract: The Jones polynomial of a link can be computed […]
Speaker: Michelle Manes, AIM Title: Dynamical Systems and the Period 3 Implies Chaos Theorem Abstract: Sharkovskii’s theorem, sometimes called "period 3 implies chaos," concerns a one-dimensional real dynamical system: a […]
Integer partitions are ubiquitous in mathematics, arising in subjects as disparate as algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, number theory, representation theory, to mathematics physics. Many of the deepest results on partitions […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend the Topology Seminar! Speaker: Claudio Gomez-Gonzales (Carleton College - UC Irvine) Title: How hard could it be? A tour of resolvent […]
Speaker: Dorothy Buck, Professor of Mathematics, Duke University Title: Molecular Pasta: Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers Abstract: If you’ve cooked spaghetti, you’ve probably noticed how the pasta becomes entangled in the […]
Speaker: Iris Clever, University of Chicago Title: The Making of the Modern Statistical Identity: From Skull Science to Biometrics Abstract: In this presentation, I uncover an overlooked genealogy of biometrics, tracing it back to early 20th-century race science and the rise of statistical thinking about human identity. Before biometrics became a technology of controlling human identity, […]
Title: Designing Robust Networks of Coupled Phase Oscillators with Applications to the High-Voltage Electric Grid Abstract: A network is any collection of objects, called nodes, in which some pairs of […]
