Adinkra Heights and Color-Splitting Rainbows (Ursula Whitcher, American Mathematical Society)
Argue Auditorium, Pomona College 610 N. College Ave., Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Adinkra Heights and Color-Splitting Rainbows Speaker: Ursula Whitcher, American Mathematical Society Abstract: Adinkras are decorated graphs that encapsulate information about conjectural relationships between fundamental particles in physics. If we […]

Continued fractions, directed graphs, and defining spectral triples on Effros-Shen AF algebras (Samantha Brooker, Arizona State University)
Estella 2141 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United StatesThe Effros-Shen algebra corresponding to an irrational number $\theta$ can be described by an inductive sequence of direct sums of matrix algebras, where the continued fraction expansion of $\theta$ encodes […]

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, […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Melody Molander (UCSB)
Fletcher 110, Pitzer College 1050 N Mills Ave, Claremont, CA, United StatesTitle: Skein Theory of Affine ADE Subfactor Planar Algebras Abstract: Subfactor planar algebras first were constructed by Vaughan Jones as a diagrammatic axiomatization of the standard invariant of a subfactor. These planar algebras also encode two other invariants of the subfactors: the index and the principal graph. The Kuperberg Program asks to find all diagrammatic […]

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 […]
