• CCMS Colloquium: Fractal Cohomology of the Ternary Cantor Set: An Invitation to the Imaginarium of Complex Dimensions — Shanna Dobson (Harvey Mudd College)

    Burkle 16, Claremont Graduate University 1021 N. Dartmouth Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: We present our program of geometrizing cohomology on a totally disconnected space through the intrinsic Cantor function and the cohomological complex dimensions of the ternary Cantor set. The Cantor set is an uncountable, self-similar set of measure zero; yet beneath this apparent “dust” lies a remarkably rich geometry across scales. We show how cohomological […]

  • Exploring Exchangeability within Permutation Inference: Implications for Statistics and Data Science Educators (Jo Hardin, Pomona College)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Permutation tests are a powerful and flexible approach to inference via resampling. As computational methods become more ubiquitous in the statistics curriculum, use of permutation tests has become more tractable. At the heart of the permutation approach is the exchangeability condition, which determines the appropriate null sampling distribution. We explore the exchangeability condition in the […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Non-Vanishing of L-Functions — Alexander Dunn (Georgia Institute of Technology)

    Burkle 16, Claremont Graduate University 1021 N. Dartmouth Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: Dirichlet’s 1837 proof of his theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions depended on the non-vanishing of L(1,\chi) for nonprincipal characters. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture relates the rank of an elliptic curve to the order of vanishing of its L-function at the central point. Determining whether an individual central value vanishes can be difficult, […]
