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 […]

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 example, we can readily identify straight lines in the plane, or recognize different kinds of triangles depending on their symmetries. Less intuitive, however, is that […]

Applied Math Seminar: Jeremy Brandman (DCS corporation)
Estella 1021 (Emmy Noether Room), Pomona College Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle Control algorithms for unmanned underwater vehicles: new approaches based on Hamilton-Jacobi equations and reinforcement learning. Abstract Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are defined by their ability to operate without direct […]

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 […]

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 of Farey fractions of level n—that is, the rational numbers between 0 and 1 with denominator at most n. It turns out that these distribute uniformly in the […]

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 […]
