On the Cox ring of a weighted projective plane blown-up at a point (Javier Gonzalez Anaya, HMC)
Roberts North 102, CMCThe Cox ring of a projective variety is the ring of all its meromorphic functions, together with a grading of geometric origin. Determining whether this ring is finitely generated is […]
What can chicken nuggets tell us about symmetric functions, positive polynomials, random norms, and AF algebras? (Stephan Garcia, Pomona)
Roberts North 102, CMCA simple question about chicken nuggets connects everything from analysis and combinatorics to probability theory and computer-aided design. With tools from complex, harmonic, and functional analysis, probability theory, algebraic combinatorics, […]

Shanahan 1480, Harvey Mudd College 301 Platt Blvd., Claremont, CA, United StatesSkein 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 […]
