Making sandwiches: a novel invariant in D-module theory (David Lieberman, HMC)
Estella 2113In the field of commutative algebra, the principal object of study is (unsurprisingly) commutative algebras. A somewhat unintuitive fact is that results about commutative algebras can be gleaned from an […]

Sequences with identical autocorrelation spectra (Daniel Katz, Cal State Northridge)
Estella 2113In this talk, we explore sequences and their autocorrelation functions. Knowing the autocorrelation function of a sequence is equivalent to knowing the magnitude of its Fourier transform. Resolving the lack […]

CCMS Colloquium: Braids, Polynomials, and Hilbert’s 13th Problem (Jesse Wolfson, UC Irvine)
Speaker:Jesse Wolfson, UC Irvine Title: Braids, Polynomials, and Hilbert’s 13th Problem Abstract: There are still completely open fundamental questions about polynomials in one variable. One example is Hilbert’s 13th Problem, a conjecture going back long before Hilbert. Indeed, the invention of algebraic topology grew out of an effort to understand how the roots of a […]

Noether-Lefschetz theory and class groups (John Brevik, Cal State Long Beach)
Estella 2113The classical Noether-Lefschetz Theorem states that a suitably general algebraic surface S of degree d ≥ 4 in complex projective 3-space P3 contains no curves besides complete intersections, that is, curves of the form S ∩ T where T is another surface. After discussing briefly Noether’s non-proof of this theorem and hinting at the idea […]
