On the geometry of lattice extensions (Max Forst, CGU)
Given a lattice L, an extension of L is a lattice M of strictly greater rank so that L is equal to the intersection of the subspace spanned by L […]

Quantum metrics on the natural numbers (Katrine von Bornemann Hjelmborg, University of Southern Denmark)
Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United StatesQuantum metrics in the sense of Rieffel were introduced to prove some statements arising in the high-energy physics literature. Since then, the area of quantum metric geometry has been used […]

H.S.M. Coxeter’s Theory of Accessibility: A Narrative in the Language of Synthetic Projective Geometry (Elena Marchisotto, Cal State Northridge)
Fletcher 110, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, CA, United StatesThe relation of accessible points in a projective incidence plane defined by Coxeter in the 1960s is the focus of my narrative. It reveals historical pathways bookending the 19th and […]

Properties of redistricting Markov chains (Sarah Cannon, CMC)
Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United StatesMarkov chains have become widely-used to generate random political districting plans. These random districting plans can be used to form a baseline for comparison, and any proposed districting plans that differ significantly from this baseline can be flagged as potentially gerrymandered. However, very little is rigorously known about these Markov chains - Are they irreducible? […]

Frequentist Model Averaging in the Generalized Multinomial Logit Model (Prof. Tonia Zeng)
Humanities Auditorium, Scripps College, and Zoom Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Frequentist Model Averaging in the Generalized Multinomial Logit Model Speaker: Tonia Zeng, Applied Business Sciences and Economics, University of La Verne Abstract: The generalized multinomial logit (GMNL) model accommodates scale heterogeneity to the random parameters logit (RPL) model. It has been often used to study people's preferences and predict people's decisions in many areas, […]

Applied Math Seminar: Anna Nelson (Duke)
Shanahan 2407 at Harvey Mudd College Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Mathematical modeling of polymerization processes in physiology Abstract: Polymerization, or aggregation, is essential for many physiological systems. For example, the emergence of a fibrin polymer mesh during the formation of a blood clot is required for a stable clot and long-term, sustained intracellular transport in neurons rely on persistent yet dynamic polymers that comprise the […]

A tale of two worlds: parking functions & reduction algebras (Dwight Anderson Williams II, Pomona)
Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States"A Tale of Two Cities" is a novel told in three books/parts. Here we describe three projects related both to published work and ongoing pieces: PROJECT 1: In the world of combinatorics, parking functions are combinatorial objects arising from the situation of parking cars under a parking strategy. In this part of the talk, we […]

Prof. Josiah Park
Humanities Auditorium, Scripps College, and Zoom Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Packing lines, minimizing energy, and applications to communications Speaker: Josiah Park, Department of Mathematics, Texas A&M University Abstract: Structured geometric point sets play important roles in coding theory, mathematical biology, computational chemistry, wireless communications, compressed sensing, and 'big data' applications due to their often desirable statistical properties for measurement and transmission. Best packings of […]
