GEMS Workshop: The Mathematics of Reapportionment and Census Data with Professor Adolfo Rumbos of Pomona College
Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesTOPIC: The Mathematics of Reapportionment and Census Data Every ten years, the United States Census Bureau conducts a count of all persons living in the United States; one of those population counts will be carried out this year (2020). This Census is mandated by the US Constitution; it counts all people residing in the United […]

(Cancelled!!) Applied Math Talk: Stable planar vegetation stripe patterns on sloped terrain in dryland ecosystems given by Prof. Paul Carter (University of Minnesota)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaIn water-limited regions, competition for water resources results in the formation of vegetation patterns; on sloped terrain, one finds that the vegetation typically aligns in stripes or arcs. The dynamics of these patterns can be modeled by reaction-diffusion PDEs describing the interplay of vegetation and water resources, where sloped terrain is modeled through advection terms […]

Finding bases of new infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ ( Dwight Williams, UT Arlington)
Emmy Noether Room, Millikan 1021, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CaliforniaThe orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is rich in representation theory: while the finite dimensional $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$-module category is semisimple, the study of infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is wide open. In […]

Dagan Karp: Tropical Geometry and Moduli Spaces
Freeberg Forum, LC 62, Kravis Center, CMCIn this talk, I'll attempt to give an introduction to the beautiful world of tropical geometry. As an application, I'll describe work with Siddarth Kannan (Pomona 2018) and Shiyue Li (Mudd 2017) using tropical geometry to compute the cohomology of certain moduli spaces, called heavy/light Hassett spaces, which are of interest in a wide range of […]
