Graph coloring reconfiguration systems (Prateek Bhakta, University of Richmond)
For k >= 2, the k-coloring graph C(G) of a base graph G has a vertex set consisting of the proper k-colorings of G with edges connecting two vertices corresponding […]

Opioid addiction has become a national health crisis in recent years, with involvement in 66% of all drug overdose deaths in 2016 and high economic costs. In contrast to the […]
TOPIC: The Mathematics of Reapportionment and Census Data Every ten years, the United States Census Bureau conducts a count of all persons living in the United States; one of those […]
In water-limited regions, competition for water resources results in the formation of vegetation patterns; on sloped terrain, one finds that the vegetation typically aligns in stripes or arcs. The dynamics […]
The orthosymplectic Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is rich in representation theory: while the finite dimensional $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$-module category is semisimple, the study of infinite dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ is wide open. In […]
In 1897, Indiana physician Edwin J. Goodwin believed he had discovered a way to square the circle, and proposed a bill to Indiana Representative Taylor I. Record which would secure […]
David Hilbert's Grundlagen der Geometrie is a rare example of a historical mathematics text that is still profitably read today and continues to inspire research in mathematics, computer science, and philosophy. The […]
