This GEMS session will be facilitated by Evan Rosenman from Claremont McKenna College Title: Fair Votes? The Mathematics of Elections and Redistricting Abstract: How do we know if an election is fair? In this interactive session, we’ll explore how math helps us answer that question. Students will experiment with drawing voting districts to see how drawing different […]
In this talk, I'll attempt to give a friendly introduction to tropical linear series and explore their relationship to matroid theory. Along the way, we'll stop to admire the beautiful view from enumerative geometry and combinatorics. This is joint work with Chih-Wei Chang, Matthew Dupraz, Hernan Iriarte, David Jensen, Sam Payne, and Jidong Wang, and also with […]

This one-day workshop assembles diverse perspectives from the history and philosophy of mathematics to examine ways in which mathematics interacts and expands across other fields of study. Please RSVP here by Monday, April 6th to attend the workshop and lunch. Schedule 10:00 to 10:05 Welcome! 10:05 to 11:05 Otávio Bueno (University of Miami & Tohoku […]
Abstract: We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function ρ on a bounded Lipschitz domain. We investigate the minimization and maximization of a Steklov eigenvalue over admissible densities satisfying pointwise bounds and a fixed integral constraint. We establish the existence of optimal solutions and provide structural characterizations: minimizers are […]
Inspired by the categorification program for a numerical invariant of three-manifolds, series invariants for closed manifolds and for knot complements were introduced. This in turn motivated an extension of the series invariant of the former case to Lie superalgebras. It was recently generalized to knot complements. In this talk, we review the original series invariants […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Ryan Moruzzi (CSU Northridge) Title: Exploring Leaky Forcing Through Hopi Rectangle graphs Abstract: Leaky forcing, introduced in 2019, is a graph-coloring process motivated by questions of network monitoring, in which the loss of information can hinder propagation through a graph. As a variant of standard zero forcing, […]
Abstract: Turbulence influences our lives in a multitude of ways, ranging from the mundane (when we stir milk into our coffee) to the spectacular (the formation of galaxies). It is […]
Diophantine avoidance has been studied by several authors in recent years. This refers to effective results on existence of points of bounded size in a given algebraic set avoiding some […]
