The restricted variable Kakeya problem (Pete Clark, University of Georgia)
For a finite field F_q, a subset of F_q^N is a Kakeya set if it contains a line in every direction (i.e., a coset of every one-dimensional linear subspace). The finite […]

A Group-Theoretic Ax-Katz Theorem (Pete L. Clark, University of Georgia)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: A Group-Theoretic Ax-Katz Theorem Speaker: Pete L. Clark, University of Georgia Abstract: The Chevalley-Warning Theorem is a result from 1935 asserting that the number of solutions to a low degree polynomial system over a finite field is divisible by the characteristic of the field. It is an important result -- it includes a conjecture […]

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 […]

Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change (Amelia Stone-Johnstone, CSU Fullerton)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Teaching Equity-minded Active Mathematics: A model for Instructional Change Speaker: Amelia Stone-Johnstone, Department of Mathematics, California State University, Fullerton Abstract: Active learning has been championed as a mechanism for greater student learning and participation in STEM. However, recent studies have demonstrated how active learning without an explicit equity focus may harm students from historically […]

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 […]

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 […]
