  • GEMS December 2nd Session

    Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

  • Skein algebra of a punctured surface (Helen Wong, CMC)

    Roberts North 102, CMC

    The Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface is at once related to quantum topology and to hyperbolic geometry. In this talk, we consider a generalization of the skein algebra due to Roger and Yang for surfaces with punctures. In joint work with Han-Bom Moon, we show that the generalized skein algebra is a quantization […]

  • Using quantum statistical mechanical systems to study real quadratic fields (Jane Panangaden, Pitzer College)

    Estella 2099

    The original Bost-Connes system was constructed in 1990 and is a QSM system with deep connections to the field of rationals. In particular, its partition function is the Riemann-zeta function and its ground states evaluated on certain arithmetic objects yield generators of the maximal Abelian extension of the rationals. In this talk we describe the […]

  • Graph Complexes and Moduli Spaces of Curves (Siddarth Kannan, UCLA)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Graph Complexes and Moduli Spaces of Curves Speaker: Siddarth Kannan, UCLA Abstract: I will begin by defining a certain combinatorial object called a graph complex. Then I will give […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Adolfo Rumbos (Pomona College)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Existence and multiplicity of solutions for a cooperative elliptic system using Morse theory This is joint work with Leandro Recova (Cal Poly Pomona) Abstract

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Song Yu (Caltech)

    Estella 2099

    We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Song Yu (California Institute of Technology and Tsinghua Yau Mathematical Sciences Center) also a Pomona alum! Title: Knot […]

  • Math as Art and Recreation (Peter Kagey, HMC)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Math as Art and Recreation Speaker: Peter Kagey, HMC Abstract: Recreational Mathematics is an area of math which is rooted in exploration and playfulness, and includes puzzles, games, art, and […]

  • Shrinkage Estimation for Causal Inference and Experimental Design (Evan T. R. Rosenman)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Shrinkage Estimation for Causal Inference and Experimental Design Speaker: Evan T. R. Rosenman, Assistant Professor of Statistics, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Passive collection of observational data -- in settings […]

  • GEMS February 10th Session

    Harvey Mudd College at the Shanahan Teaching and Learning Center 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United States

  • Dagan Karp (Harvey Mudd College)

    Estella 1021 (Emmy Noether Room), Pomona College Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: Tropical Linear Series Abstract: In this talk I'll attempt to give a friendly and example-driven introduction to the theory of linear series on tropical curves. While in some respects mirroring […]

  • Quiver categorification of quandle invariants (Sam Nelson, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    Quiver structures are naturally associated to subsets of the endomorphism sets of quandles and other knot-coloring structures, providing a natural form of categorification of homset invariants and their enhancements. In this talk we will survey recent work in this area.

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Luya Wang (Stanford)

    Estella 2099

    We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Luya Wang (Stanford) Title: Deformation inequivalent symplectic structures and Donaldson's four-six question Abstract: Studying symplectic structures up to […]
