• Relationships between skein algebras (Helen Wong, CMC)

    Estella 2099

    We will examine the multiplicative structure of two skein algebras--- the usual Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a surface (generated by loops) and a generalization of it due to Roger-Yang […]

  • A BKM-type criterion for the 3D incompressible Euler equations (Mustafa Aydin, USC)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: The three-dimensional incompressible Euler equations describe the motion of an ideal fluid, yet the mechanisms that govern the possible loss of regularity of smooth solutions remain only partially understood. […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Sofia Martinez Alberga (Bryn Mawr College)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Sofia Martinez Alberga (Bryn Mawr College) Title: Stay in the Loop and Fun Group Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the goal of […]

  • Explainability and Analysis of Variance (Zijun Gao, USC)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: Existing tools for explaining complex models and systems are associational rather than causal and do not provide mechanistic understanding. We propose a new notion called counterfactual explainability for causal […]

  • Analysis Seminar: Choquet simplices of groups and C*-algebras (Itamar Vigdorovich, UCSD)

    Estella 2099, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: Let C be a compact convex set (in a locally convex topological vector space). By Choquet’s theorem, every point in C is the barycenter of a probability measure supported on the extreme points. When this representing measure is unique, C is called a simplex. Simplices arise naturally in various fields of mathematics: the space […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College) Title: A new framework for studying transient reactivity in two-dimensional systems. Abstract: Even if a linear system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) has a globally attracting equilibrium, solutions of the ODEs may grow arbitrarily large in the short-term before returning to the equilibrium […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Harrison Li (HMC)

    Davidson Lecture Hall, CMC 340 E 9th St, Claremont, CA, United States

    CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Harrison Li (HMC) Title: Precise analysis of blocked randomized experiments Abstract: I recently finished a multi-year project with collaborators analyzing a blocked randomized experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of a government job training program for unemployment insurance (UI) recipients in Rhode Island. In presenting the results, I will focus […]

  • Structure-Preserving Discretizations for Fokker–Planck Equations via the Energy Dissipation Law (Satish Chandran, UCR)

    Emmy Noether Room, Estella 1021, Pomona College, 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Abstract: We present a new approach for deriving structure-preserving numerical discretizations of Fokker-Planck equations by establishing a connection between the Fokker-Planck equation and its semi-discrete master equation at the level of the energy-dissipation law. We determine the transition rate in the master equation via the detailed balance condition and the spatial discretization of the continuous […]
