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 […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Teal Witter (CMC) Title: Exactly Computing do-Shapley Values Abstract: Causal questions lie at the heart of scientific inquiry, from evaluating economic policies […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Teal Witter from Claremont McKenna College. Title: Who Can Write Down the Bigger Number? Abstract: If you had fifteen seconds to write […]
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. […]
Abstract: In general, the objective of algebraic topology is to classify spaces using some algebraic invariants or up to some notion of equivalence. In the area of equivariant homotopy theory, […]
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 […]
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 attribution that is motivated by the concept of genetic heritability in twin studies. Counterfactual explainability extends methods for global sensitivity analysis (including the functional analysis […]
This is a talk in two parts covering two projects that the speaker mentored over the summer of 2025. The first project deals with the study of polytopes that arise […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
