Skein algebra of a punctured surface (Helen Wong, CMC)
Roberts North 102, CMCThe 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 […]
Using quantum statistical mechanical systems to study real quadratic fields (Jane Panangaden, Pitzer College)
Estella 2099The 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 […]

Estella 1021 (Emmy Noether Room), Pomona College Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: 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 categorification of quandle invariants (Sam Nelson, CMC)
Estella 2099Quiver 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 […]
