SUMMARY:Analysis seminar: Transfinite Apollonian metric (Zair Ibragimov\, CSU Fullerton)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Transfinite Apollonian metric \nAbstract: The concept of transfinite diameter of compact sets in the complex plane was introduced by Fekete in 1923. It is a generalization of the standard diameter of sets and has found many applications in the study of conformal mappings. The Apollonian metric was introduced by A. Beardon in 1995 and has since been used in the study of non-Euclidean geometries\, hyperbolic-type metrics\, and quasiconformal mappings. After a brief introduction to these concepts\, we will discuss in some details the constructions of Apollonian metrics of order k and the transfinite Apollonian metric. Time permitting\, we will discuss several properties\, connections to other hyperbolic-type metrics\, and some open problems.

SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Ruby Kim (University of Michigan)
DESCRIPTION:CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Ruby Kim (University of Michigan) \nTitle: Mathematical Models of Circadian Rhythms and Seasonal Timing\n \nAbstract: The circadian clock shapes nearly 24-hour periodic rhythms throughout the body\, from the activity of individual cells to our daily sleep/wake cycles. These rhythms can be self-sustained (for example\, people still show circadian patterns even in total darkness)\, but they are also strongly influenced by the environment\, especially light. Mathematical models of circadian rhythms have provided insight into many intriguing phenomena\, including jet lag\, mid-afternoon fatigue\, and how animals sense the changing seasons. In this talk\, I will introduce how mathematical models of circadian rhythms are constructed and used. Then\, I will share recent work on seasonal timing in a large population of medical interns\, using data collected from wearable devices. Our results suggest that seasonal timing plays a key role in how people respond to shift work. Overall\, the goal of this talk is to introduce how mathematical modeling can be used to better understand biological rhythms and their impact on daily life.\n \nBio: I am originally from Koreatown\, Los Angeles. I did my undergraduate studies at Pomona College (Class of ’17)\, where I majored in math and completed a thesis under the mentorship of Dr. Ami Radunskaya. I enjoyed teaching mathematics and doing research\, so I decided to pursue graduate studies in math at Duke University. During my PhD\, I fell in love with biological rhythms and mathematical neuroscience. Currently\, I am a postdoc at the University of Michigan using mathematical modeling and data science to study biology and health. During my free time\, I enjoy playing pool\, hanging out with my dog\, and reading.

SUMMARY:GEMS October 4th Session
DESCRIPTION:This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Chiu-Yen Kao from Claremont McKenna College.\n\n\nTitle: Finding Your Optimal Paths\n\nAbstract: Path planning plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life\, among which are transportation\, robotics\, and optics. In this session\, we will explore the mathematics behind path planning including the Dijkstra’s algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph and Fermat’s principle on the least time path taken between two points by a ray of light. Students will get hands-on experience on building a graph network on a real map and study different path planning problems. To inspire students to explore more advanced topics\, some complicated path planning questions in high dimensions will be discussed at the end.

SUMMARY:Modeling drug release for in vitro experiments (Minaya Villasana De Armas\, Universidad Simon Bolivar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: It is common to use adjuvants in immunotherapeutic regimens to strengthen the immune response. However\, multiple dosages are required making it inconvenient for the patient. Hydrogels have been proposed as a vehicle to administer adjuvant and antigen in a sustained slow release thus reducing the need for re-administration. \nIn this instance\, we use experimental data for stability studies on two different thermosensitive pentablock hydrogels as well as release of three adjuvants suspended in the hydrogels or in PLGA nanoparticles. The goal is to model this release and provide a framework by which these models can describe the various release profiles efficiently. \n

SUMMARY:The integer point transform as a complete invariant (Sinai Robins\, University of São Paulo\, Brazil)
DESCRIPTION:Given any finite set of integer points S\, there is an associated function f_S that encodes S\, which we call its integer point transform.   One can think of this integer point transform f_S algebraically or analytically.  Here we focus on its analytic properties\, showing that it is a complete invariant.   In fact\, we prove that it is only necessary to evaluate f_S at one algebraic point in order to uniquely determine the finite set S\, by employing the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem.    Similarly\, we prove that it’s only necessary to evaluate the Fourier transform of a rational polytope P (as well as rational cones) at a single algebraic point\, in order to uniquely determine S.   Finally\, by relating the integer point transform to finite Fourier transforms\, we show that a finite number of integer point evaluations of f_S suffice in order to uniquely determine S.

SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Sinai Robins (University of São Paulo - Brazil)
DESCRIPTION:CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Sinai Robins (University of São Paulo – Brazil)\n\n \nTitle: An introduction to the geometry of numbers through the lens of analysis\n \n\nAbstract: We introduce the geometry of numbers\, beginning from the first principles\, and proceeding to modern research topics in the field. Our point of view includes Fourier analysis on compact sets and in particular on convex bodies. We give some recent extensions of previous results by C. L. Siegel\, and E. Bombieri\, both of whom extended Minkowski’s first theorem for convex\, centrally symmetric bodies. \nA discrete version of these results allows us to give some new formulations for finite sums of discrete covariograms\, for any finite set of integer points in Euclidean space. We’ll give visual examples\, with pictures\, of everything in dimension 2. On the other hand\, a continuous application of these results allows us to shed additional light on the enumeration of lattice points in polytopes in R^d\, and in particular some Ehrhart-type theory. This is joint work with Michel Faleiros. \n\n \nBio: Professor Sinai Robins completed his Ph.D. in Number Theory at UCLA. He has held tenured positions at Temple University and Nanyang Technological University and is currently a full professor at the University of São Paulo\, Brasil. Professor Robins enjoys tackling problems in Discrete Geometry\, Fourier Analysis\, Number Theory\, Combinatorial Optimization\, and Data Science. Some of his recent research is reflected in his new 2024 book\, called Fourier analysis on polytopes and the geometry of numbers: Part I\, a gentle introduction. This book offers a unique\, modern\, Fourier-analytic perspective on the geometry of numbers. It explores the relationship between geometric properties of a polytope and its Fourier transform\, provides new streamlined proofs of fundamental results\, and invites undergraduates to explore these important ideas.

SUMMARY:Some New Advances in Similarity-Based Predictive Modeling (Joel A. Dubin\, University of Waterloo)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Earlier work has shown that similarity-based predictive models can improve upon predictive performance\, as compared to using the entire training data to help build models\, particular regarding model discrimination for binary responses. My collaborators and I have some updated results to share\, regarding similarity-based modeling for joint consideration of model calibration and discrimination\, as well as for dynamic prediction models. Properties of our methods will be investigated in comprehensive simulation studies\, and we will demonstrate the methods through separate analyses of a publicly-available intensive care unit (ICU) database.

SUMMARY:Singularities in characteristic p and the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence (Robert Cass\, CMC)
DESCRIPTION:The Riemann–Hilbert correspondence relates algebra to differential equations on complex algebraic varieties. In characteristic p\, there is an analogous correspondence due to Emerton–Kisin and later generalized by Bhatt–Lurie\, where the derivative operator is replaced by the p-th power Frobenius operator. In this talk we will explain a relation between the mod p Riemann–Hilbert correspondence and the study of singularities of algebraic varieties in characteristic p. This talk is mostly about commutative algebra\, and we will introduce concepts such as local cohomology and perverse sheaves along the way. This is joint work with João Lourenço.

SUMMARY:Claremont Topology Seminar: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer College)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! \nSpeaker: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Pitzer College) \nTitle: Special Positions of Shapes in Four-Dimensional Space \nAbstract: I will begin by convincing you that four-dimensional space is more familiar than it might first appear. Then\, I will introduce ways in which mathematicians study objects in 4-space. Each visualization method comes with its own advantages and limitations\, as well as a natural measure of complexity that captures how “knotted” a shape can be. Drawing from my work on several projects\, I will explain how these complexity measures connect to other areas of mathematics. For example\, placing surfaces in what we call a rainbow position reveals connections to symplectic geometry.

SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Braxton Osting (University of Utah)
DESCRIPTION:CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Braxton Osting (University of Utah)\n\n \nTitle: Blood pressure monitoring with biophysics-informed machine learning models\n\n \nAbstract: Measurement of blood pressure (BP) is essential for early diagnosis and management of hypertension\, a condition that 45% of US adults have and a risk factor for development of heart failure\, the leading cause of death in the US. Wearable technologies have the potential to transform BP monitoring by providing continuous assessments of cardiovascular health metrics and guiding clinical management. However\, existing cuffless wearable devices for BP monitoring often rely on methods lacking theoretical foundations\, such as pulse wave analysis or pulse arrival time\, making them vulnerable to physiological and experimental confounders that undermine their accuracy and clinical utility. We developed a smartwatch device with real-time electrical bioimpedance (BioZ) sensing for cuffless hemodynamic monitoring. We elucidate the biophysical relationship between BioZ and BP via a multiscale analytical and computational modeling framework\, and identify physiological\, anatomical\, and experimental parameters that influence the pulsatile BioZ signal at the wrist. A signal-tagged physics-informed neural network incorporating fluid dynamics principles enables calibration-free estimation of BP and radial and axial blood velocity. We successfully tested our approach with healthy individuals at rest and after physical activity including physical and autonomic challenges\, and with patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease in outpatient and intensive care settings. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of BioZ technology for cuffless BP and blood velocity monitoring\, addressing critical limitations of existing cuffless technologies.\n \nBio:  Braxton Osting is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah where he works on mathematical challenges in the natural and applied sciences. He has broad interests in analytical and computational methods for problems in applied mathematics\, especially in optimization\, partial differential equations\, computational geometry\, and machine learning. \nAfter attending the University of Washington for his undergraduate studies\, Braxton earned a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics at Columbia University. Before moving to Utah\, he was an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California\, Los Angeles. \nIn his free time\, Braxton enjoys biking\, skiing\, running\, hiking\, and generally spending time outdoors. \n

SUMMARY:Estimating Shapley Values for Explainable AI via Richer Model Approximations (Teal Witter\, CMC)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Modern machine learning is ultimately a simple process: We iteratively update the weights of machine learning models to minimize a problem-specific loss. When it works well\, we deploy the model in human-facing domains like healthcare\, finance\, or the justice system. But even though we know how models are trained\, we don’t understand why they make decisions the decision they do. A particularly compelling approach to explaining AI predictions is the Shapley value\, a game-theoretic quantity that measures how each input to the model affects its output. Mathematically\, the ith Shapley value is the average change in the ith dimension of a particular function defined on the d-dimensional hypercube. Because the hypercube has 2^d points\, exactly computing Shapley values is infeasible. In this talk\, we will instead leverage algorithmic insights to develop state-of-the-art approximation methods.

SUMMARY:From sparsity of rational points on curves to the generic positivity of Beilinson-Bloch height (Ziyang Gao\, UCLA)
DESCRIPTION:It is a fundamental question to find rational solutions to a given system of polynomials\, and in modern language this translates into finding rational points in algebraic varieties.  It is already very deep for algebraic curves defined over Q.  An intrinsic natural number associated with the curve\, called its genus\, plays an important role in studying rational points on curves.  In 1983\, Faltings proved the famous Mordell Conjecture (proposed in 1922)\, which asserts that any curve of genus at least 2 has only finitely many rational points.  Thus the problem for curves of genus at least 2 can be divided into several grades: finiteness\, bound\, uniform bound\, effectiveness.  An answer to each grade requires a better understanding of the distribution of the rational points.\n\nIn my talk\, I will explain the historical and recent developments of this problem according to the different grades.  I will also mention a recent work (joint with Shouwu Zhang) about a generic positivity property and a Northcott property of the Beilison-Bloch height of the Gross-Schoen cycles and the Ceresa cycles.

SUMMARY:CCMS Colloquium: Anna Ma (UCI)
DESCRIPTION:CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Anna Ma (UCI)\n\n \nTitle: Stochastic iterative methods for solving tensor linear systems\n \nAbstract: Solving linear systems is a crucial subroutine and challenge in data science and scientific computing. Classical approaches for solving linear systems assume that data is readily available and small enough to be stored in memory. However\, in the large-scale data setting\, data may be so large that only partitions (e.g.\, single rows/columns of the matrix/tensor) can be utilized at a time. In this presentation\, we discuss the advantages and role of randomization in iterative methods for approximating the solution to large-scale linear systems. Time permitting\, we will also discuss our recent work on applications to solving systems involving higher-dimensional arrays\, or tensors. Unlike previously proposed randomized iterative strategies\, such as the tensor randomized Kaczmarz method (row slice method) or the tensor Gauss-Seidel method (column slice method)\, which are natural extensions of their matrix counterparts\, our approach delves into a distinct scenario utilizing frontal slice sketching.\n \nBio: Dr. Anna Ma is an Assistant Professor at UC Irvine in the Department of Mathematics. Prior to her position at UCI\, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at UCI and a UC Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow at UC San Diego in the Department of Mathematics. Her research interests are in randomized algorithms\, numerical linear algebra\, and the mathematics of data science. She is also interested in data visualization and unsupervised machine learning. Anna earned her BS in Mathematics at UC Los Angeles. She received her PhD in Computational Science from Claremont Graduate University and the Computational Science Research Center at San Diego State University\, where she studied the design and analysis of algorithms that solve problems involving large-scale data. \n
