Title: “The science of Mathematics is not crystallized into text-books” : The Bryn Mawr Mathematical Journal Club (1896 — 1924) Speaker: Jemma Lorenat, Pitzer College Abstract: As mathematics departments in […]
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface is at once related to quantum topology and to hyperbolic geometry. In this talk, we consider a generalization of the skein algebra […]
The original Bost-Connes system was constructed in 1990 and is a QSM system with deep connections to the field of rationals. In particular, its partition function is the Riemann-zeta function […]
Title: Graph Complexes and Moduli Spaces of Curves Speaker: Siddarth Kannan, UCLA Abstract: I will begin by defining a certain combinatorial object called a graph complex. Then I will give […]
Title: Existence and multiplicity of solutions for a cooperative elliptic system using Morse theory This is joint work with Leandro Recova (Cal Poly Pomona) Abstract
We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Song Yu (California Institute of Technology and Tsinghua Yau Mathematical Sciences Center) also a Pomona alum! Title: Knot […]
Title: Math as Art and Recreation Speaker: Peter Kagey, HMC Abstract: Recreational Mathematics is an area of math which is rooted in exploration and playfulness, and includes puzzles, games, art, and […]
Title: Shrinkage Estimation for Causal Inference and Experimental Design Speaker: Evan T. R. Rosenman, Assistant Professor of Statistics, Claremont McKenna College Abstract: Passive collection of observational data -- in settings […]
Title: Tropical Linear Series Abstract: In this talk I'll attempt to give a friendly and example-driven introduction to the theory of linear series on tropical curves. While in some respects mirroring […]
Quiver structures are naturally associated to subsets of the endomorphism sets of quandles and other knot-coloring structures, providing a natural form of categorification of homset invariants and their enhancements. In […]
