Recent trends in using representations in voting theory – committees and cyclic orders (Karl-Dieter Crisman, Gordon College)
On ZoomOne of the most important axioms in analyzing voting systems is that of "neutrality", which stipulates that the system should treat all candidates symmetrically. Even though this doesn't always directly […]
On Invariants for Surface-Links in Entropic Magmas via Marked Graph Diagrams (Seonmi Choi, Kyungpook Natl U, Korea)
ZoomM. Niebrzydowski and J. H. Przytycki defined a Kauffman bracket magma and constructed the invariant P of framed links in 3-space. The invariant is closely related to the Kauffman bracket […]

Zoom meeting , United StatesTitle: Modeling Zoonotic Infectious Diseases from Wildlife to Humans Speaker: Prof. Linda J. S. Allen, P. W. Horn Distinguished Professor Emeritus Texas Tech University Abstract: Zoonotic infectious diseases are diseases transmitted from animals to […]
Applied Math Seminar — Illia Karabash (IAMM of NAS of Ukraine and TU Dortmund)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Pareto optimization of resonances and optimal control methods Abstract: First successes in fabrication of high-Q optical cavities two decades ago led to active applied physics and numerical studies of […]
Gap theorems for linear forms and for rotations on higher dimensional tori (Alan Haynes, University of Houston)
On ZoomThis talk is based on joint work with Jens Marklof, and with Roland Roeder. The three distance theorem states that, if x is any real number and N is any […]
Two-Bridge Knots Admit no Purely Cosmetic Surgeries (Thomas Mattman, California State University, Chico)
Zoom(Joint with Ichihara, Jong, and Saito). We show that two-bridge knots admit no purely cosmetic surgeries, ie no pair of distinct Dehn surgeries on such a knot produce 3-manifolds that […]
On sparse geometry of numbers (Prof. Lenny Fukshansky)
Shanahan B460 (HMC) and Zoom - HybridTitle: On sparse geometry of numbers Speaker: Prof. Lenny Fukshansky, Department of Mathematics, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Geometry of Numbers is an area of mathematics pioneered by Hermann Minkowski at the end […]
Equidistribution of norm 1 elements in cyclic number fields (Kate Petersen, University of Minnesota Duluth)
On ZoomBy Hilbert’s theorem 90, if K is a cyclic number field with Galois group generated by g, then any element of norm 1 can be written as a/g(a). This gives […]
Systematically Detecting Flypes and Hexagonal Mosaics (Hugh Howards, Wake Forest University)
ZoomWe talk about building knots using mosaics which were as introduced as a way of modeling quantum knots by Lomonaco and Kauffman and a newer variant, hexagonal mosaics, introduced by […]
