Odd subgraphs are odd (Asaf Ferber, UC Irvine)
On ZoomIn this talk we discuss some problems related to finding large induced subgraphs of a given graph G which satisfy some degree-constraints (for example, all degrees are odd, or all […]

A tribute to Professor Ellis Cumberbatch (1934-2021)
ZoomTitle: A tribute to Professor Ellis Cumberbatch (1934-2021) Abstract: The math colloquium on December 1st will be devoted to remembrances of our beloved CGU colleague Professor Ellis Cumberbatch, a pillar of the Claremont mathematics community, who passed away in September. Three brief talks by his friends and collaborators, Professor John Ockendon (University of Oxford), Dr. […]

Difference sets in higher dimensions (David Conlon, Cal Tech)
On ZoomLet d >= 2 be a natural number. We determine the minimum possible size of the difference set A-A in terms of |A| for any sufficiently large finite subset A […]

Where do Putnam problems come from? (Prof. Andrew Bernoff)
Title: Where do Putnam problems come from? Speaker: Andrew Bernoff, Department of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: The William Lowell Putnam Exam is the preeminent mathematics competition for undergraduate college students in the United States and Canada. I recently finished a three year stint on the competition’s problem committee. This talk is a personal reflection on […]

Questions on Symmetric Chains (Shahriar Shahriari, Pomona)
On ZoomThe set of subsets {1, 3}, {1, 3, 4}, {1, 3, 4, 6} is a symmetric chain in the partially ordered set (poset) of subsets of {1,...,6}. It is a […]

Using Stitching for faster sampling (Prof. Mark Huber)
Title: Using Stitching for faster sampling Speaker: Mark Huber, Department of Mathematics, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Point processes are used to model location data, such as the locations of trees in a forest, or cities in a plain. Repulsive point processes modify the basic model in order to obtain points that are farther apart from each other than would […]

APPLIED MATH SEMINAR: Archetypal analysis by Professor Braxton Osting (University of Utah)
Archetypal analysis is an unsupervised learning method that uses a convex polytope to summarize multivariate data. For fixed k, the method finds a convex polytope with k vertices, called archetype […]

Niho’s last conjecture (Daniel Katz, Cal State Northridge)
On ZoomA power permutation of a finite field F is a permutation of F whose functional form is x -> x^d for some exponent d. Power permutations are used in cryptography, and the exponent d must be chosen so that the permutation is highly nonlinear, that is, not easily approximated by linear functions. The Walsh spectrum […]

Exploiting metric structure for more accurate classification (Prof. Mike Izbicki)
Zoom meeting , United StatesTitle: Exploiting metric structure for more accurate classification Speaker: Mike Izbicki, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Classification problems often have many semantically similar classes. For example, the famous ImageNet dataset contains classes for 80 different dog breeds, 40 different bird species, and 25 types of vehicles. This semantic structure can be formalized using a metric […]

Applied Math Seminar — Yunied Puig de Dios (CMC)
Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Modern techniques to approach the invariant subspace problem Abstract: The invariant subspace problem is by far one of the most important problems in operator theory. It has been open […]
