• An Odd Estimator for Shapley Values (Teal Witter, CMC)

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

    Abstract: The Shapley value is a ubiquitous framework for attribution in machine learning, encompassing feature importance, data valuation, and causal inference. However, its exact computation is generally intractable, necessitating efficient […]

  • Hecke algebras and motives (Robert Cass, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    Hecke algebras play a central role in both number theory and representation theory. While some Hecke algebras have explicit descriptions in terms of generators and relations, others are understood through […]

  • Analysis Seminar: Metrics on quantum channels from noncommutative geometry (Tron Omland, University of Oslo and Norwegian National Security Authority)

    Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: We study metrics on completely positive maps, and in particular on quantum channels, induced by seminorms from noncommutative geometry. Using an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Choi–Jamiołkowski correspondence, we construct such metrics and show that, under suitable assumptions, they satisfy stability and chaining. I will present the main ideas and explain how spectral triples and […]

  • The Euler Equations in Function Spaces of Generalized Smoothness (Zachary Radke, OSU)

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

    Abstract: In this talk, we will describe a well/ill-posedness result for the 2D incompressible Euler equations. We investigate solutions in a setting logarithmically smoother than previously done, in a hope to identify the key dynamics leading to a breakdown of regularity in 2D fluid flow. When order of the logarithmic derivative is sufficiently large one […]

  • Analysis Seminar: Restricted isometries and operator norms on finite-dimensional $L^p$-spaces (Alonso Delfín Ares de Parga, CU Boulder)

    Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: An isometry between two normed vector spaces is a linear map that preserves the norm (i.e., the length of each output agrees with the length of its input). For the classical $p$-norms, isometries have a very concrete description when $p\neq 2$: they are given by signed permutations of the coordinates. In this talk, I […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer) Title:  Derivatives and the Shape of Graphs Abstract:  Reading the title of this talk, perhaps you think you are going to hear about Calculus I. I stole the title from a section of Stewart’s popular calculus book. But actually, I am going to talk […]
