Analysis seminar: Stephan Ramon Garcia (Pomona College)
Estella 2131, Pomona College 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United StatesTitle: 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 […]
GEMS October 5th Session
Harvey Mudd College at the Shanahan Teaching and Learning Center 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: 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 […]
Applied Math Seminar: Jamie Haddock (Harvey Mudd College)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: TBD Abstract: TBD
Counting matrix points via lattice zeta functions (Yifeng Huang, USC)
Estella 2113I 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 sheaves, Catalan numbers, Hall polynomials, etc.). The first problem is to count finite-field points on so called "varieties of matrix points''. They are created from […]
What Happens when Our Perspectives Don’t Align with the Math? (Anne Cawley, Cal Poly Pomona)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesSpeaker: 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 they like math because there is “one right answer” and is an objective field. Once they find the answer, they are done with a problem. […]
Analysis Seminar: Domains of Quantum Metrics on AF algebras (Katrine von Bornemann Hjelmborg, University of Southern Denmark (SDU))
Estella 2131, Pomona College 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United StatesTitle: 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 if A is finite-dimensional. Intuitively, this should allow for different quantum metrics with distinct domains when A is infinite-dimensional, and we show how to explicitly […]
CCMS Colloquium: “Paths in Mathematics After Undergrad” Panel
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 in breakout rooms. Panelists Brianna Huynh (PO-2024), MS student in MathEd at Cal Poly Pomona Taylor McAdam (HMC-2013), Visiting Assistant Professor of Mathematics, at Pomona […]

Applied Math Seminar: Ruijun Zhao (Claremont McKenna College)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: 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 […]
Making sandwiches: a novel invariant in D-module theory (David Lieberman, HMC)
Estella 2113In the field of commutative algebra, the principal object of study is (unsurprisingly) commutative algebras. A somewhat unintuitive fact is that results about commutative algebras can be gleaned from an associated non-commutative algebra whose generators are very analytic in nature. This object is called the ring of differential operators, often denoted by D. In a sense gives […]
