On the Cox ring of a weighted projective plane blown-up at a point (Javier Gonzalez Anaya, HMC)
Roberts North 102, CMCThe Cox ring of a projective variety is the ring of all its meromorphic functions, together with a grading of geometric origin. Determining whether this ring is finitely generated is […]

What can chicken nuggets tell us about symmetric functions, positive polynomials, random norms, and AF algebras? (Stephan Garcia, Pomona)
Roberts North 102, CMCA simple question about chicken nuggets connects everything from analysis and combinatorics to probability theory and computer-aided design. With tools from complex, harmonic, and functional analysis, probability theory, algebraic combinatorics, […]
