In today's environment of universal connection and media updates, we are constantly informed about infectious diseases and the ramifications. We can combat infectious diseases using mathematics to gain insight into […]
The Field Committee Meeting is our chance to socialize with our colleagues and coordinate our course offerings for the coming academic year (2020-2021). Please come to discuss course offerings and […]
Several conditions are known for a self-inversive polynomial that ascertain the location of its roots, and we present a framework for comparison of those conditions. We associate a parametric family of polynomials p_α(x) to each such polynomial p, and define cn(p), il(p) to be the sharp threshold values of α that guarantee that, for all […]
Antibodies are the standard biomolecule for marking molecular structures and delivering drugs due to their specific binding capabilities. However, they are expensive to produce and their relatively large size prevents their easy traversal of bi-lipid membranes. Over the past 30 years, molecular recognition has also been achieved through the use of aptamers, short oligonucleotide sequences […]
Let K be a field and S = K be the polynomial ring in n variables over K. For a graded S-module M with minimal free resolution the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity […]
Title: The BNS invariant of the fundamental group of a surface bundle over a surface. Abstract: We will discuss some new results on the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariant of these groups, showing […]
In general terms, a Tauberian theorem deals with the relationship between the properties of one transform of a measure with those of another transform. We will introduce the notion of […]
TOPIC: Superheroes vs. Supercomputers Superheroes like Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Superman, and Captain Marvel, just to name a few, all have "super" power and they save the world from "super"-villains. […]
Let S be a set of k > n points in n-dimensional Euclidean space. How many parallel hyperplanes are needed to cover it? In fact, it is easy to prove […]
Title: Volumes and filling collections of multicurves Abstract: In this talk we will be concerned with links L in a Seifert-Fibered space N such that their projection to the base […]
In this talk, we'll discuss the problem of constructing meaningful distances between probability distributions given only finite samples from each distribution. We approach this through the use of data-adaptive and […]
Data coming from Monte Carlo experiments is often analyzed in the same way as data from more traditional sources. The unique nature of Monte Carlo data, where it is easy to take a random number of samples, allows for estimators where the user can control the relative error of the estimate much more precisely than […]
