Title: Chebyshev Threadings in Skein Algebras for Punctured Surfaces Abstract: Skein algebras are algebras of links in a surface quotiented by diagram-based equivalence relations based on the Kauffman bracket. In […]
Title: Diving into Math with Emmy Noether Starring: Anita Zieher; Director: Sandra Schueddekopf Abstract: A theatre performance by Portraittheater Vienna in co-operation with Freie Universität Berlin about the life of […]
"The Sceptical Mathematician: How John Wallis Saved Mathematics for the Royal Society." Abstract: The members of the “Invisible College” and the early Royal Society championed an experimental approach to the study […]
Title: Towards Understanding the Success of First Order Methods in Training Mildly Overparameterized Networks Abstract: For most problems of interest the loss landscape of a neural network is non-convex and […]
Biquandle brackets are skein invariants of biquandle-colored knots, with skein coefficients that are functions of the colors at a crossing. Biquandle power brackets take this idea a step further with […]
Title: Cellular resolutions of the diagonal and exceptional collections for toric Deligne-Mumford stacks Abstract: Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space which yields a strong, full exceptional […]
Title: p-Norm Approval Voting Speaker: Michael Orrison, Professor of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College Abstract: Approval voting is a relatively simple voting procedure: Given a set of candidates, each voter chooses […]
A classic problem in graph theory is to find the chromatic number of a given graph: that is, to find the smallest number of colors needed to assign every vertex […]
Title: Cellular resolutions of the diagonal and exceptional collections for toric Deligne-Mumford stacks (Continued) Abstract: Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space which yields a strong, full […]
Title: Building the Fan of a Toric Variety Speaker: Reginald Anderson, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Roughly speaking, algebraic geometry studies the zero sets of polynomials, which lead to objects called varieties. Since the zero sets of polynomials do not always pass the vertical line test, we enlist other methods to study […]
Title: Understanding SARS-CoV-2 viral rebounds with and without treatments. Abstract: In most instances, the characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 mirror the patterns of an acute infection, with viral load rapidly peaking around […]
Beilinson gave a resolution of the diagonal for complex projective space, which gives a strong, full exceptional collection of line bundles as a generating set for the derived category of […]
