Title: Developments in Noncommutative Fractal Geometry Abstract: As a noncommutative fractal geometer, I look for new expressions of the geometry of a fractal through the lens of noncommutative geometry. At the quantum scale, the wave function of a particle, but not its path in space, can be studied. Riemannian methods often rely on smooth paths to encode […]
Title: Geometric Optimization Involving Partial Differential Equations and Its Applications Speaker: Professor Chiu-Yen Kao, Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, CA USA Abstract: Optimal geometric design for energy functionals, which depends on solutions to partial […]
I will give a brief introduction to well-rounded lattices and to their utility in wireless communications and post-quantum security. We will see how the lattice theta series naturally arises in these contexts and discuss its connections to well-rounded lattices. The talk is based on joint work with Laia Amoros, Amaro Barreal, Taoufiq Damir, Oliver Gnilke, […]
We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Jim Hoste (Pitzer College) Title: Variations on the Kauffman Bracket Abstract: Forty years ago, Lou Kauffman formulated his "bracket" polynomial, a function from link diagrams to Laurent polynomials in one variable. This elementary construction leads to a simple definition of the Jones Polynomial. […]
For the next CCMS Colloquium on April 3rd Wednesday, we invite all MATH faculty, and students intending to enroll in upper division math courses to attend the Fall 2024 Course Preview Session of all the upper division math courses offered across the consortium in Fall 2024. Faculty, We strongly encourage you to attend so that […]
Title: The Chronicles of Fractal Geometry: Fractal Strings, and Functorial Harps Abstract: In this talk, we explore the colorful analytical world of fractal geometry. We introduce fractal strings in the […]
Title: Numerical studies to the Chaplygin gas system and Pressureless Euler Equations Speaker: Ying Wang University of Oklahoma, USA Abstract In this talk, we will discuss the numerical solutions to […]
In late March, students, staff, and faculty were invited to help collaboratively build a large-scale geometric sculpture on the campus of Harvey Mudd College, demonstrating a relationship between truncated octahedra […]
The famous primitive element theorem states that every number field K is of the form Q(a) for some element a in K, called a primitive element. In fact, it is […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Ryan Maguire (Dartmouth College) Title: Relative Strengths of Knot Invariants by Experiment Abstract: Four knot polynomials have […]
Title: Structural Ramsey Theory and Logic Speaker: Lynn Scow, Professor of Mathematics, California State University, San Bernardino Abstract: The connection between Ramsey theory and logic goes back to Frank P. Ramsey's […]
