• Categorification of biquandle arrow weight invariants via quivers (Migiwa Sakurai, Shibaura Institute of Technology)

    Estella 2099

    Biquandle arrow weights invariants are enhancements of the biquandle counting invariant for oriented virtual and classical knots defined from biquandle-colored Gauss diagrams using a tensor over an abelian group satisfying certain properties. In this talk, we categorify the biquandle arrow weight polynomial invariant using biquandle coloring quivers, obtaining new infinite families of polynomial invariants of […]

  • A non-uniformly inner amenable group (Isaac Goldbring, UC Irvine)

    Estella 2099

    An inner amenable group is one in which there is a finitely additive conjugation-invariant probability measure on the non-identity elements.  In this talk, we show that inner amenability is not preserved under elementary equivalence.  As a result, we give the first example of a group that is inner amenable but not uniformly inner amenable.

  • Graphical designs: combinatorics and applications (Catherine Babecki, Caltech)

    Estella 2099

    A graphical design is a quadrature rule for a graph inspired by classical numerical integration on the sphere. Broadly speaking, that means a graphical design is a relatively small subset of graph vertices chosen to capture the global behavior of functions from the vertex set to the real numbers. We first motivate and define graphical […]

  • Algebraic lattices and Pisot polynomials (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    A Z-module M in a number field K gives rise to a lattice in the corresponding Euclidean space via Minkowski embedding. Such lattices often carry inherited structure from the number field in question and can be attractive from both, theoretical and applied perspectives. We consider this construction when M is spanned by the set of […]
