  • Traces of Partition Eisenstein series (Ken Ono, University of Virginia)

    Estella 2113

    Integer partitions are ubiquitous in mathematics, arising in subjects as disparate as algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, number theory, representation theory, to mathematics physics. Many of the deepest results on partitions […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Claudio Gomez-Gonzales (Carleton College – UC Irvine)

    Estella 2099

    We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend the Topology Seminar! Speaker: Claudio Gomez-Gonzales (Carleton College - UC Irvine) Title: How hard could it be? A tour of resolvent degree Abstract: Solving algebraic equations are among the oldest problems in mathematics. In this talk, we offer a concrete, visual, and historical introduction to resolvent […]

  • CCMS Colloquium: Molecular Pasta, Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers (Dorothy Buck, Duke Uni.)

    Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United States

    Speaker: Dorothy Buck, Professor of Mathematics, Duke University Title: Molecular Pasta: Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers Abstract: If you’ve cooked spaghetti, you’ve probably noticed how the pasta becomes entangled in the pot (especially in a small volume of water) or in your bowl afterwards.  This is a macro example of what I like to think about: […]

  • Claremont History and Philosophy of Mathematics Seminar: Iris Clever (UChicago)

    Founders Room, Pitzer College

    Speaker: Iris Clever, University of Chicago Title: The Making of the Modern Statistical Identity: From Skull Science to Biometrics Abstract: In this presentation, I uncover an overlooked genealogy of biometrics, tracing it back to early 20th-century race science and the rise of statistical thinking about human identity. Before biometrics became a technology of controlling human identity, […]

  • Applied Math Seminar: Shriya Nagpal (Pitzer College)

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

    Title: Designing Robust Networks of Coupled Phase Oscillators with Applications to the High-Voltage Electric Grid Abstract: A network is any collection of objects, called nodes, in which some pairs of these objects are connected by links, called edges. In a network of coupled phase-oscillators, each node represents a phase-angle (or an angle with periodicity) whose […]

  • Claremont Topology Seminar: Heather Lee

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

    We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Heather Lee Title: Some examples of homological mirror symmetry Abstract: Mirror symmetry is a duality phenomenon between symplectic geometry and complex geometry. The homological mirror symmetry (HMS) conjecture was originally formulated by M. Kontsevich in 1994 to fully capture this phenomenon for mirror […]
