Inspired by the categorification program for a numerical invariant of three-manifolds, series invariants for closed manifolds and for knot complements were introduced. This in turn motivated an extension of the series invariant of the former case to Lie superalgebras. It was recently generalized to knot complements. In this talk, we review the original series invariants […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Ryan Moruzzi (CSU Northridge) Title: Exploring Leaky Forcing Through Hopi Rectangle graphs Abstract: Leaky forcing, introduced in 2019, is a graph-coloring process motivated by questions of network monitoring, in which the loss of information can hinder propagation through a graph. As a variant of standard zero forcing, […]
Abstract: Turbulence influences our lives in a multitude of ways, ranging from the mundane (when we stir milk into our coffee) to the spectacular (the formation of galaxies). It is a great achievement of the human intellect that we are able to locate fundamental mechanisms shared by phenomenon with such a dramatic difference in scale […]
Diophantine avoidance has been studied by several authors in recent years. This refers to effective results on existence of points of bounded size in a given algebraic set avoiding some specified subsets. The famous primitive element theorem states that every number field K is of the form Q(a) for some element a in K. From the proof of […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Manuel Reyes (UCI) Title: When XY is not equal to YX Abstract: The commutative property of algebra states that the order of multiplication makes no difference: XY = YX. This property is so ingrained in our experience that it becomes difficult to imagine how algebra would function without it! If the commutative property fails, […]
Abstract: I will introduce In-Context Operator Networks (ICON), a framework in which a single neural network learns solution operators for differential equations directly from a few prompted input-output examples at […]
One of the key objects used in Ngo's proof of the fundamental lemma is the group scheme of universal centralizers associated to a split reductive group G. In this talk, we'll discuss forthcoming work, […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Andrew Fiss (Michigan Technological University) Title: “Singing American Math: College Traditions from Book Burnings to Observatory Parties, 1880s-1920s" Abstract: “Singing Math” is a practice […]
Abstract: Consider n independent, biased coins, each with a known probability of heads. Presented with an ordering of these coins, flip (i.e., toss) each coin once, in that order, until […]
