SUMMARY:ANTC Seminar: Random Monomial Ideals (Lily Silverstein\, CalPoly Pomona)
DESCRIPTION:Probability is a now-classic tool in combinatorics\, especially graph theory. Some applications of probabilistic techniques are: (1) describing the typical/expected properties of a class of objects\, (2) uncovering phase transitions and sudden thresholds in the dependence of one property on another\, and (3) producing examples of conjectured or unusual objects. (This last technique is sometimes called “the probabilistic method.”)\nThis talk will apply these techniques to commutative algebra\, using monomial ideals as a bridge between combinatorics and algebra. I’ll introduce a family of random models for monomial ideals\, and describe results of each type mentioned above\, for instance: (1) typical projective dimension\, (2) thresholds in Krull dimension as a function of number of monomial generators\, and (3) how to generate unlimited examples of monomial ideals which aren’t generic (in the Bayer-Peeva-Sturmfels sense)\, but which nevertheless have minimal free resolutions that can be read from their Scarf complexes.\nJoint work with subsets of: Jesús A. De Loera\, Serkan Hoşten\, Robert Krone\, Sonja Petrović\, Despina Stasi\, Dane Wilburne\, and Jay Yang.

SUMMARY:Applied Math Seminar On Unlimited Sampling given by Prof. Felix Krahmer (Technische Universität München)
DESCRIPTION:Shannons sampling theorem provides a link between the continuous and thediscrete realms stating that bandlimited signals are uniquely determined by itsvalues on a discrete set. This theorem is realized in practice using so called analog to digital converters (ADCs). Unlike Shannons sampling theorem\, the ADCs are limited in dynamic range. Whenever a signal exceeds some preset threshold\, the ADC saturates\, resulting in aliasing due to clipping. In this talk\,we analyze an alternative approach that does not suffer from these problems.Our work is based on recent developments in ADC design\, which allow for ADCs that reset rather than to saturate\, thus producing modulo samples. An open problem that remains is: Given such modulo samples of a bandlimited function as well as the dynamic range of the ADC\, how can the original signal be recovered and what are the sufficient conditions that guarantee perfect recovery? In this paper\, we prove such sufficiency conditions and complement them with a stable recovery algorithm. Our results not limited to certain amplitude ranges\, in fact even the same circuit architecture allows for the recovery of arbitrary large amplitudes as long as some estimate of the signal norm is available whenrecovering. \nThis is joint work with Ayush Bhandari (Imperial College London) and Ramesh Raskar (MIT). \nBio: \nFelix Krahmer received his PhD in Mathematics in 2009 from New York University under the supervision of Percy Deift and Sinan Güntürk. He was a Hausdorff postdoc in the group of Holger Rauhut at the University of Bonn\, Germany from 2009-2012. In 2012 he joined the University of Göttingen as a an assistant professor for mathematical data analysis\, where he has been awarded an Emmy Noether Junior Research Group. Since 2015 he has been tenure track assistant professor for optimization and data analysis in the department of mathematics at the Technical University of Munich.

SUMMARY:A geospatial modeling analysis of travel-time\, bicycles\, and HIV elimination in sub-Saharan Africa: the case of Malawi
DESCRIPTION:UNAIDS has proposed an ambitious strategy for ending the HIV pandemic. Their strategy depends upon achieving a treatment coverage goal of 90% by 2030. However\, distance to healthcare and lack of transportation are major barriers to accessing HIV treatment in SSA. I will use data-based geospatial modeling to determine their potential impact as barriers to elimination in Malawi. I will address two specific questions: How much time would people living with HIV (PLHIV) need to spend travelling to access treatment in order for Malawi to achieve UNAIDS’ goal of 90% coverage? Could providing bicycles to rural communities help eliminate HIV?\nOur results show that it will only be possible to achieve UNAIDS’ 90% coverage goal in Malawi if many of the PLHIV (who have yet to initiate treatment) are willing\, and able\, to spend a great deal of time travelling to access treatment. Additionally\, they show that making bicycles available to PLHIV in rural areas has the potential to make the 90% target goal more attainable\, and hence to help eliminate HIV in Malawi.

SUMMARY:GEMS Workshop: Working Together without a Leader with Professor Jasper Weinburd of Harvey Mudd College
DESCRIPTION:TOPIC: Working Together without a Leader \nBees all work together by communicating and obeying the orders of the Queen. Other animals gather in swarms\, flocks\, or schools and move in complicated ways without any leader at all. In a school of fish\, each one is identical and they all follow the same simple rules. Yet they still manage to form tight bait balls and make sharp turns in unison. So a school of fish is more than just a group of fish; it is greater than the sum of its parts. In this workshop\, we’ll investigate this deep mathematical idea by thinking about groups of animals. \nAlso\, it may be fun to check out this video that illustrates some of the ideas we will be looking at: \n\n\nWHAT IS GEMS:\n\nThe Gateway to Exploring Mathematics program (GEMS) is a series of workshops that helps excite the interests and curiosity of young students in mathematics and science.\n\nGEMS meets once a month on a Saturday morning from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.\n\nGEMS is designed to reach 8th\, 9th and 10th grade students who have an interest in mathematics and science.\n\nParticipants interact with excellent and award winning faculty\, staff\, students and alumni from each of the seven Claremont Colleges.\n\nFALL 2019 DATES:\n\nOctober 5\, 2019\n\nNovember 2\, 2019\n\nDecember 7\, 2019\n\nREGISTRATION:\n\nTo register for our next event on November 2nd\, please click on the following link:\n\nhttps://forms.gle/6LQbpRWVdGDvc97Q9\n\nANY QUESTIONS:\n\nPlease contact our 2019-2020 GEMS coordinator\, Josh Kiernan at joshua.kiernan@cgu.edu

SUMMARY:Applied Math Talk: Set your parasites low (or high) given by Professor Maryann Hohn (Pomona College)
DESCRIPTION:Individuals may choose to create social groups where their individual fitness and success is influenced by those around them.  A group may increase an individual’s success in finding food\, shelter\, and safety; however\, if the group fails\, so does the individual.  In this talk\, we will explore how choices of individuals influence group dynamics using both agent-based modeling and partial differential equations.  In particular\, we will examine individuals who live in close\, collaborate groups who are susceptible to infectious diseases such as pathogens and parasites through their social network.

SUMMARY:Computational bounds for doing harmonic analysis on permutation modules of finite groups (Mike Orrison\, HMC)
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will describe an approach to finding upper bounds for the number of arithmetic operations necessary for doing harmonic analysis on permutation modules of finite groups. The approach takes advantage of the intrinsic orbital structure of permutation modules\, and it uses the multiplicities of irreducible submodules within individual orbital spaces to express the resulting computational bounds. I will then conclude by showing that these bounds are surprisingly small when dealing with certain permutation modules arising from the action of the symmetric group on tabloids. This is joint work with Michael Hansen\, Masanori Koyama\, Matthew McDermott\, and Sarah Wolff.

SUMMARY:Epidemiological models for Ebola exploring different dynamics
DESCRIPTION:In today’s environment of universal connection and media updates\, we are constantly informed about infectious diseases and the ramifications. We can combat infectious diseases using mathematics to gain insight into diseases dynamics and outbreaks. I will focus primarily on Ebola Virus Disease\, exploring different models focused on capturing various dynamics.\nFirst\, I will present a model whose goal is to illustrate role of education in limiting a potential future Ebola outbreaks in Sudan using data and modeling. Then\, I will introduce a model which captures superspreader dynamics and compare the model for Ebola and Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). In addition to these models I will explain about how I became interested in Mathematical Epidemiology and some of the great programs which have led to my research collaborations.
