Gabe Chandler (Pomona College)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Graphical Anomaly Detection for High Dimensional and Object Data Abstract: Anomaly detection is an important task in data analysis, though an agreed upon definition of what constitutes an outlier does not exist. Accordingly, a graphical tool that can highlight interesting observations in a data set that the scientist can then investigate with domain specific […]

Homological mirror symmetry, curve counting, and a classical example: 27 lines on a nonsingular cubic surface (Reggie Anderson, CMC)
Estella 2099Though mirror symmetry requires much technical background, it gained traction in the mathematical community when physicists Candelas-de la Ossa-Green-Parkes discovered enumerative invariants counting the number of rational degree d curves […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Adam Yassine (Pomona College)
Estella 2099We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Adam Yassine (Pomona College) Title: A Structural Approach to Classical Mechanics Abstract: A structural approach to the study of classical mechanics clarifies the physical heuristics that physicists use in constructing mathematical models of classical mechanical systems. The focus of our current program is to develop […]

Almost-prime times in horospherical flows (Taylor McAdam, Pomona)
Estella 2099There is a rich connection between homogeneous dynamics and number theory. Often in such applications it is desirable for dynamical results to be effective (i.e. the rates of convergence for […]

*Cancelled* Claremont Topology Seminar: Iris Yoon (Wesleyan College)
Estella 2099This talk has been cancelled. We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Iris Yoon (Wesleyan College) Title: A generalized Dowker complex for multi-way Relations Abstract: Given a relation between two sets X and Y, one can construct two simplicial complexes, one having X as its vertex set and the other […]

Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Can a function tell us how immune cells kill? Speaker: Prof. Ami Radunskaya (Pomona College, Claremont CA) Abstract: The immune system is able to fight cancer by mustering and training an army of effector “killer” cells. Mathematical models of tumor-immune interactions must describe the proliferation, recruiting and killing rates of immune cells. Earlier work surprisingly showed that […]

Sublattices and subrings of Z^n and random finite abelian groups (Nathan Kaplan, UC Irvine)
Estella 2099How many sublattices of Zn have index at most X? If we choose such a lattice L at random, what is the probability that Zn/L is cyclic? What is the probability that its […]

A Survey of Diophantine Equations (Edray Goins, Pomona College)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: A Survey of Diophantine Equations Speaker: Edray Herber Goins, Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, Pomona College Abstract: There are many beautiful identities involving positive integers. For example, Pythagoras knew $3^2 […]
