Modular 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 […]
Abstract: 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 […]
One 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 […]
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 […]
One 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 […]
TOPIC: 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 […]
I 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 […]
Chebotarev'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 […]
Abstract: 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 […]
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 […]
We 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, […]
