In this talk, we explore sequences and their autocorrelation functions. Knowing the autocorrelation function of a sequence is equivalent to knowing the magnitude of its Fourier transform. Resolving the lack of phase information is called the phase problem. We say that two sequences are equicorrelational to mean that they have the same aperiodic autocorrelation function. […]

We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Orsola Capovilla-Searle (UC Davis) Title: Exact Lagrangian fillings of Legendrian links Abstract: An important problem in contact topology is to understand Legendrian submanifolds; these submanifolds are always tangent to the plane field given by the contact structure. Legendrian links arise as wavefronts in […] |

Speaker:Jesse Wolfson, UC Irvine Title: Braids, Polynomials, and Hilbert’s 13th Problem Abstract: There are still completely open fundamental questions about polynomials in one variable. One example is Hilbert’s 13th Problem, a conjecture going back long before Hilbert. Indeed, the invention of algebraic topology grew out of an effort to understand how the roots of a […] |

Title: Exceptional Sets for Divergent Fourier Series Abstract: A survey of some old and newer results on divergent Fourier series with some comments on how they relate to undergraduate analysis courses and (time permitting) leading to a brief discussion of an open question on the size of exceptional sets in divergence examples and some progress […] |

This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor David Bachman from Pitzer College. Title: How does ChatGPT work? Abstract: In 2022 ChatGPT took the world by storm and challenged our ideas of what computers are capable of. However, few people have any sense of how this technology works. Through hands-on activities participants will learn about […] |

The classical Noether-Lefschetz Theorem states that a suitably general algebraic surface S of degree d ≥ 4 in complex projective 3-space P3 contains no curves besides complete intersections, that is, curves of the form S ∩ T where T is another surface. After discussing briefly Noether’s non-proof of this theorem and hinting at the idea […]

We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Vijay Higgins (UCLA) Title: Webs and skein algebras Abstract: The Jones polynomial of a link can be computed diagrammatically by using skein relations, which encode the representation theory of SL(2). By considering the vector space spanned by links drawn on a surface and […] |

Speaker: Michelle Manes, AIM Title: Dynamical Systems and the Period 3 Implies Chaos Theorem Abstract: Sharkovskii’s theorem, sometimes called "period 3 implies chaos," concerns a one-dimensional real dynamical system: a function from the real line to itself that you iterate and study the orbits of points. This theorem is fascinating because of its very simple […] |

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 […]
