Deep hole lattices and isogenies of elliptic curves (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
Roberts North 102, CMCFor a lattice L in the plane, we define the affiliated deep hole lattice H(L) to be spanned by a shortest vector of L and the furthest removed vector from […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Wenyuan Li (USC)
Fletcher 110, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Generating families on Lagrangian cobordisms Abstract: An important question in contact topology is to understand Legendrian knots and their relations given by Lagrangian cobordisms. In the contact manifold T*M x R, an important tool to study Legendrian knots and their Lagrangian cobordisms is called generating families or generating functions, which are generalizations of the […]

What is a moduli space? (Javier Gonzalez Anaya, HMC)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: What is a moduli space? Speaker: Javier Gonzalez Anaya, Department of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: A natural endeavour in mathematics is to classify objects according to their properties. For […]

On the spectra of syntactic structures (Isabella Senturia, Yale University)
On ZoomWe explore the application of spectral graph theory to the problem of characterizing linguistically-significant classes of tree structures. We focus on various classes of syntactically-defined tree graphs, and show that […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Konstantinos Varvarezos (UCLA)
Fletcher 110, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Cosmetic Surgeries on Knots and Heegaard Floer Homology Abstract: A common method of constructing 3-manifolds is via Dehn surgery on knots. A pair of surgeries on a knot is called purely cosmetic if the resulting 3-manifolds are homeomorphic as oriented manifolds, whereas it is said to be chirally cosmetic if they result in homeomorphic […]

Slope Gap Distributions of Translation Surfaces (Taylor McAdam, Pomona College)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Slope gap distributions of translation surfaces Speaker: Taylor McAdam, Department of Mathematics, Pomona College Abstract: How “random” are the rational numbers? To make sense of this question, let us consider the set […]

Frobenius coin-exchange generating functions (Matthias Beck, San Francisco State University)
Roberts North 102, CMCWe study variants of the Frobenius coin-exchange problem: Given n positive relatively prime parameters, what is the largest integer that cannot be represented as a nonnegative integral linear combination of the […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Hyunki Min (UCLA)
Fletcher 110, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Contact structures and the mapping class group of lens spaces Abstract: One important problem in contact topology is to classify contact structures on a given manifold. Around 20 years ago, Giroux and Honda classified contact structures on lens spaces. A natural question to ask after that is how the transformations on lens spaces interact […]
