• Biquandle power brackets (Sam Nelson, CMC)

    Roberts North 102, CMC

    Biquandle brackets are skein invariants of biquandle-colored knots, with skein coefficients that are functions of the colors at a crossing. Biquandle power brackets take this idea a step further with […]

    Title: Cellular resolutions of the diagonal and exceptional collections for toric Deligne-Mumford stacks Abstract: Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space which yields a strong, full exceptional […]

  • p-Norm Approval Voting (Professor Michael Orrison, Harvey Mudd College)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Title: p-Norm Approval Voting Speaker: Michael Orrison, Professor of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: Approval voting is a relatively simple voting procedure: Given a set of candidates, each voter chooses […]

    Title: Understanding SARS-CoV-2 viral rebounds with and without treatments. Abstract: In most instances, the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 mirror the patterns of an acute infection, with viral load rapidly peaking around […]

  • Cellular resolutions of the diagonal and exceptional collections for toric D-M stacks (Reginald Anderson, CMC)

    Roberts North 102, CMC

    Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space, which gives a strong, full exceptional collection of line bundles as a generating set for the derived category of coherent sheaves. Bayer-Popescu-Sturmfels generalized Beilinson's resolution of the diagonal by giving a cellular resolution of the diagonal for a proper subclass of smooth toric varieties […]

    Title: The Hartman-Watson distribution: numerical evaluation and applications in mathematical finance Abstract: The Hartman-Watson distribution appears in several problems of applied probability and financial mathematics. Most notably, it determines the joint distribution of the time-integral of a geometric Brownian motion and its terminal value. A classical result by Yor (1981) expresses it as a one-dimensional […]
