Title: Scattering Resonances Through Subwavelength Holes and Their Applications in Imaging and Sensing Abstract: The so-called extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) through metallic nanoholes has triggered extensive research in modern plasmonics […]
Title: Using Mutual Information of Hypergraph Compressions for Clustering Abstract: Hypergraphs are often used to represent higher order observed relationships between subjects of study. In particular, the vertices of a […]
Young diagrams are all possible arrangements of n boxes into rows and columns, with the number of boxes in each subsequent row weakly decreasing. For a partition λ of n, […]

Let x_1,...,x_n be an overdetermined spanning set for the Euclidean space R^k, where n > k. Let L be the integer span of these vectors. Then L is an additive subgroup of R^n. When is it discrete in R^n? Naturally, this depends on the choice of the spanning set, but in which way? We will […]
Let L be a full-rank lattice in R^n and write L+ for the semigroup of all vectors with nonnegative coordinates in L. We call a basis X for L positive […]
Title: No-arbitrage Pricing in a Market for Position on a Multilane Freeway Speaker: Henry Schellhorn, Department of Mathematics, Claremont Graduate University Abstract: We introduce a trading mechanism allowing cars to change position in a multilane congested freeway by doing peer-to-peer transactions. For the car initiating the operation, or incoming car, the goal can be to […]
Many knot invariants are defined from features of knot projections such as arcs or crossings. Gauss diagrams provide an alternative combinatorial scheme for representing knots. In this talk we will […]
Title: Building trustworthy data-driven epidemiological models: Application to the COVID-19 outbreak in New York City Speaker: Joan Ponce, Department of Mathematics, Arizona State University Abstract: Epidemiological models can provide the dynamic evolution of a pandemic but they are based on many assumptions and parameters that have to be adjusted over the time the pandemic lasts. […]
There are two different measures of how far a given Euclidean lattice is from being orthogonal -- the orthogonality defect and the average coherence. The first of these comes from […]
