We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Reginald Anderson (CMC) Title: Presentations of derived categories Abstract: A modification of the cellular resolution of the diagonal given by Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels gives a virtual resolution of the diagonal for smooth projective toric varieties and toric Deligne-Mumford stacks which are a global quotient of […]
We will see you all next week!
Title: What can chicken McNuggets tell us about symmetric functions, positive polynomials, random norms, and AF algebras? Abstract: Numerical semigroups are combinatorial objects that lead to deep and subtle questions. With tools from complex, harmonic, and functional analysis, probability theory, algebraic combinatorics, and computer-aided design, we answer virtually all asymptotic questions about factorization lengths in […]
Title: How to use coins to make a 7-sided die Abstract: Certain dice are easier to make than others. There is the standard 6-sided die, but 4-sided, 8-sided, 10-sided, 12-sided, and 20-sided are also very common. What isn't so common is a 7-sided die. Here Dr. Mark Huber from Claremont McKenna College will talk about […]
Title: TBD Abstract: TBD
I will introduce two general problems and explain how they surprisingly connect with each other and with other aspects of mathematics (for a glimpse, Sato—Tate, hypergeometric functions, moduli spaces of […]
Speaker: Anne Cawley, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, Cal Poly Pomona, CA Title: What Happens When Our Perspectives Don’t Align with the Math? Abstract: Many people often share that […]
Title: Domains of Quantum Metrics on AF algebras Abstract: Given a compact quantum metric space (A, L), we prove that the domain of L coincides with A if and only […]
CCMS Colloquium: “Paths in Mathematics After Undergrad” Panel We will be holding a virtual panel on careers and grad school after a bachelor’s mathematics degree, with a follow-up discussion time […]

Title: Mathematical models studying the effectiveness of control strategies for malaria Abstract: According to the 2023 World Malaria Report: Nearly half the world's population lives in areas at risk of malaria transmission in 85 countries and territories. In 2022, malaria caused an estimated 249 million clinical episodes, and 608,000 deaths. In this talk, we will […]
