I will present an integral — requiring no character twists — converse theorem for recognizing when is a Dirichlet series with algebraic integer coefficients equal to the L-function of a modular form. This […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Reginald Anderson (Claremont McKenna College) Title: Kontsevich's Recursive Formula for Rational Plane Curves Abstract: Gromov-Witten theory was […]
Speaker: Yimin Xiao, Professor of Statistics and Probability, Michigan State University Title: Brownian Motion, Random Fractals, and Beyond Abstract: Brownian motion is not only a fascinating object in mathematics but […]
A big area in combinatorics over the last several decades has been the study of pattern-avoiding permutations, whose enumeration is exciting and mysterious. Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are a generalization […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Scott Taylor (Colby College) Title: Genus 1 Bridge Number of Satellite Knots in Lens Spaces Abstract: In […]
Speaker: Scott Taylor, Professor of Mathematics, Colby College, Maine Title: Sums and Symmetries Abstract: Adding is one of the fundamental mathematical operations and we like it so much, we can't […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Bahar Acu from Pitzer College. Title: The Hole Truth: When is a Coffee Mug a Donut? Abstract: In mathematics, topology is the study of properties […]
Title: Randomly pivoted Cholesky: Fast, accurate matrix approximation for scientific machine learning Abstract: Low-rank approximation of positive semidefinite matrices is a basic problem in computational mathematics, with many applications to […]
Large Language Models like ChatGPT rely on surprisingly familiar mathematics. This talk will explore how ideas from (linear) algebra, number theory and combinatorics appear — both directly and indirectly — […]

Title: Erlang-Distributed SEIR Epidemical Models Abstract: We examine the effects of different dynamics in epidemiological models, focusing on two key approaches. The first model incorporates reaction-diffusion dynamics, where susceptible individuals […]
A Jacobian variety is a principally polarized abelian variety (PPAV) associated with a smooth complex algebraic curve. For dimensions less than or equal to 3, every PPAV is either a […]
