Applied Math Seminar — Selenne Bañuelos (Cal State University Channel Islands and Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics, UCLA)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Exploring Phage Treatment for Bacterial Infections with Mathematical Modeling Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global health today. A renewed interest in phage therapy – the use of bacteriophages to treat pathogenic bacterial infections – has emerged given the spread of AMR and lack of new drug classes in the antibiotic […]

Counting points in discrete subgroups (Jeff Vaaler, UT Austin)
On ZoomWe consider the problem of comparing the number of discrete points that belong to a set with the measure (or volume) of the set, under circumstances where we expect these […]

Topological descriptions of protein folding (Prof. Helen Wong)
ZoomTitle: Topological descriptions of protein folding Speaker: Prof. Helen Wong, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Claremont-McKenna College. Abstract: Knotting in proteins was once considered exceedingly rare. However, systematic analyses of solved […]

Applied Math Seminar — Sara Clifton (St. Olaf College)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Understanding Complex Social Systems using Minimal Mathematical Models Abstract: Minimal mathematical models are used to understand complex phenomena in the physical, biological, and social sciences. This modeling philosophy never claims, nor even attempts, to fully capture the mechanisms underlying the phenomena, and instead offers insights and predictions not otherwise possible. Here, we explore minimal […]

The Chow ring of heavy/light Hassett spaces via tropical geometry (Dagan Karp, HMC)
On ZoomHassett spaces in genus 0 are moduli spaces of weighted pointed stable rational curves; they are important in the minimal model program and enumerative geometry. We compute the Chow ring […]

Applied Math Seminar — Christopher Miles (UC Irvine)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Collective motion in the mitotic spindle Abstract: Math models of interacting individuals moving as a collective have been profoundly successful in describing physical and social phenomena ranging from swarming insects […]
-
On sparse representation of vectors in lattices and semigroups (Iskander Aliev, Cardiff University)
On ZoomWe will discuss the sparsity of the solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations with and without non-negativity constraints. The sparsity of a solution vector is the number of its […]
