Hunter's theorem ensures that the complete homogeneous symmetric (CHS) polynomials of even degree are positive definite functions. We provide new proofs of Hunter's theorem, applications to operator theory, and a […]
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Indraneel Tambe (UCLA) Title: Steinberg skein relations at roots of unity Abstract: This talk discusses some of the […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Konstantin Zuev (Caltech) Title: Course-Prerequisite Networks Abstract: An academic curriculum is a complex system of courses and their interactions that lies at […]
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Ryan Aschoff from the Claremont Graduate University. Title: Randomness: Creating Order from Chaos Abstract: From the hiss of white noise to the gentle hum of ocean waves, randomness surrounds us — yet hidden within that chaos lies remarkable order. In this talk, we’ll explore how unpredictable events, […]
Abstract: The talk introduces a conjecture on the first exit time of fractional Brownian motion: the upper-tail probability for a fractional Brownian motion to first exit a positive-valued barrier over time […]
Virtual links can be represented as equivalence classes of Gauss diagrams under Reidemeister moves. The Forbidden Moves are moves which look plausible but change the virtual isotopy class of the […]
Abstract: A proper coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors from \( \{1, 2, \ldots, k\} \) to each node of a graph such that no two nodes […]
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by John Baez (UCR) Title: The mathematics of tuning systems Abstract: Leibniz said "Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without […]
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 the largest distinct whole number possible on an index card, what would you write? While most would look to the physical world for inspiration—counting the […]
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. […]
