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 […]
Quandle coloring quivers categorify the quandle counting invariant. In this talk we enhance the quandle coloring quiver invariant with quandle modules, generalizing both the quiver invariant and the quandle module […]
What do swarm robotics and political redistricting have in common? One answer is Markov chains, which have recently been used in very different ways to address problems in both these […]
In this talk I will discuss a rather unique collection of tools and how they have been used to understand the spread of Influenza virus in the State of Montana. […]
It is well known that a real number is badly approximable if and only if the partial quotients in its continued fraction expansion are bounded. Motivated by a recent wonderful […]
Gordian Knots According to the legend of Phrygian Gordium, Alexander the Great cut the ``Gordian Knot’’ and eventually went on to rule Asia thereby fulfilling an ancient prophecy. Where there are […]

Knotting in living organisms is a feature that is visible to the careful observer of biological life. Since the 1970’s, with the increasing power of electron microscopes, scientists have been able […]
The talk will concentrate on open questions related to the optimal bounds for the discrepancy of an $N$-point set in the $d$-dimensional unit cube. The so-called star-discrepancy measures the difference between the actual and expected number of […]
Many problems, arising in discrete and metric geometry, signal processing, physics, etc, can be reformulated as questions of optimizing discrete or continuous measures. We shall review some of such conjectures, […]
