When is the product of Siegel eigenforms an eigenform? (Jim Brown, Occidental College)
Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesModular forms are ubiquitous in modern number theory. For instance, showing that elliptic curves are secretly modular forms was the key to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. In addition […]

Pull Out All The Stops: Textual Analysis via Punctuation Sequences (Mason Porter, UCLA)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: Whether enjoying the lucid prose of a favorite author or slogging through some other writer's cumbersome, heavy-set prattle (full of parentheses, em-dashes, compound adjectives, and Oxford commas), readers will […]

Applying Quantum Representations of Mapping Class Groups (Wade Bloomquist, UCSB)
Roberts North 104, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United StatesOne foundational pillar of low dimensional topology is the connection between link invariants and 3-manifold invariants. One generalization of this has been given by Reshetikhin and Turaev to a surgery theory for colored ribbon graphs. Then to complete the analogy rather than 3-manifold invariants we now have a 2+1 dimensional topology quantum field theory (TQFT). […]

Job Talk – Howard Levinson – Candidate for Assistant Professor in Mathematics
Candidate for Assistant Professor in Mathematics Howard Levinson, University of Michigan Seeing Clearly Through a Microscope The goal of microscope imaging is to obtain high-resolution images of cells. However, due […]

Applied Math Seminar: Eulerian Approaches based on the Level Set Method for Visualizing Continuous Dynamical Systems (Shingyu Leung, Department of Mathematics, HKUST)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaOne very important concept in understanding a dynamical system is coherent structure. Such structure segments the domain into different regions with similar behavior according to a quantity. When we try […]

GEMS Workshop: Graph Theory, Part II with Professor Michael Orrison, from Harvey Mudd College
Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesTOPIC: Graph Theory, Part II On the surface, graphs seem to be some of the simplest objects you might encounter in mathematics. After all, they are made up of just […]

Applied Math Seminar: Fluid mechanics at the microscale (Prof. Amy Buchmann, University of San Diego)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaI will present mathematical and computational methods used to model interactions between a viscous fluid and elastic structures in biological processes. For example, microfluidic devices carry very small volumes of liquid through channels and may be used to gain insight into many biological applications including drug delivery and development, but mixing and pumping at this […]

Nonvanishing minors and uncertainty principles for Fourier analysis over finite fields (Daniel Katz, CSUN)
Millikan 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesChebotarev's theorem on roots of unity says that every minor of a discrete Fourier transform matrix of prime order is nonzero. We present a generalization of this result that includes […]

Accidental Mathematics (Matt Stamps, Yale-NUs College)
Shanahan B460, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesAbstract: Growing up, I always loved learning about world-changing scientific breakthroughs that were discovered by accident. Penicillin, artificial sweeteners, X-rays, and synthetic dyes are just a few of the discoveries that were stumbled upon by scientists who had other goals in mind. More recently, I have come to wonder why anecdotes about accidental discoveries in […]

Non-existence of epimorphisms between certain genus two handlebody-knot groups (Ryo Nikkuni, Tokyo Woman’s Christian University)
For two genus $g$ handlebody-knots $H_{1}$ and $H_{2}$, we denote $H_{1} \geq H_{2}$ if there exists an epimorphism from the fundamental group of the handlebody-knot complement of $H_{1}$ onto the […]

Applied Math Talk: Cluster analysis on covariance stationary ergodic processes and locally asymptotically self-similar processes (Nan Rao, CGU)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaWe study the problems of clustering covariance stationary ergodic processes and locally asymptotically self-similar stochastic processes, when the true number of clusters is priorly known. A new covariance-based dissimilarity measure is introduced, from which efficient consistent clustering algorithms are obtained. As examples of application, clustering fractional Brownian motions and clustering multifractional Brownian motions are respectively performed to illustrate the asymptotic consistency of […]
