SUMMARY:Job Talk - Nicole Fider\, UC Irvine
DESCRIPTION:Candidate for Assistant Professor in Mathematics\, Scripps College \nA surprising application of mathematics:  How to name a color \nYour brain likes patterns and categories; by grouping related ideas together\, it can store and recall information quickly.  Real-life continuous domains (like time and taste) are inherently composed of infinitely many points of information\, which your brain segments into finitely many categories for convenience (such as morning/afternoon/evening/night\, or sweet/sour/salty/bitter).  This phenomenon is well-documented and is a topic of interest in the behavioral\, cognitive\, and social sciences. \nThe set of colors is another example of a continuous domain\, which in English is segmented into categories called “blue\,” “red\,” “green\,” etc.  In this talk\, I discuss how we apply mathematics —including calculus and linear algebra—to real-world data to study the occurrence of different categorizations schemes of the color space.  I then outline several related open projects. \n  \nMonday\, February 18 \n4:00-4:50pm \nBalch 218 \nScripps College \n  \nFMI contact: ctowse@scrippscollege.edu \n

SUMMARY:Knowledge\, strategies\, and know-how (Pavel Naumov\, CMC)
DESCRIPTION:An agent comes to a fork in a road. There is a sign that says that one of the two roads leads to prosperity and another to death. The agent must take the fork\, but she does not know which road leads where. Does the agent have a strategy to get to prosperity? On one hand\, since one of the roads leads to prosperity\, such a strategy clearly exists. On the other\, the agent does not know what the strategy is. \nIf a coalition of agents has a strategy\, it knows that it has a strategy\, and it also knows what this strategy is\, then we say that the coalition has a know-how strategy. In this talk I will discuss several of my recent papers on modal logics that describe the interplay between coalition knowledge\, strategies\, and know-how strategies.

SUMMARY:Personal Perspectives on m-ary Partitions (James Sellers\, Penn State)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:  A great deal of my research journey has involved the study of m-ary partitions.  These are integer partitions wherein each part must be a power of a fixed integer m > 1.  Beginning in the late 1960s\, numerous mathematicians (including Churchhouse\, Andrews\, Gupta\, and Rodseth) studied divisibility properties of m-ary partitions.  In this talk\, I will discuss work I completed with Rodseth which generalizes the results of Andrews and Gupta from the 1970s.  Time permitting\, I will then discuss several problems related to m-ary partitions\, including my work with Neil Sloane on non-squashing stacks of boxes\, an application of m-ary partitions to objects known as “unique path partitions” (which are motivated from representation theory of the symmetric group)\, as well as very recent work with George Andrews and Aviezri Fraenkel on the characterization of the number of m-ary partitions of n modulo m.  Throughout the talk\, I will attempt to highlight various aspects of the research related to symbolic computation.  The talk will be self-contained and geared for a general mathematical audience.

SUMMARY:A nonorientable version of the Milnor Conjecture (Cornelia A. Van Cott\, USF)
DESCRIPTION:In 1968\, Milnor famously conjectured that the smooth 4-genus of the torus knot T(p\,q) is given by (p-1)(q-1)/2. This conjecture was first verified by Kronheimer and Mrowka in 1993 and has received several other proofs since then. In this talk\, we discuss a nonorientable analogue of this conjecture\, first formulated by Josh Batson. We prove the conjecture for infinite families of of torus knots\, using tools from knot Floer homology. We also connect the problem to the world of continued fractions\, which gives an alternative perspective on the problem. This is joint work with Stanislav Jabuka.

SUMMARY:Uniform Convergence: A One-Woman Play
DESCRIPTION:Uniform Convergence is a one-woman play\, written and performed by mathematics graduate student Corrine Yap. It juxtaposes the stories of two women trying to find their place in a white male-dominated academic world. The first is of historical Russian mathematician Sofia Kovalevskaya\, who was lauded as a pioneer for women in science but only after years of struggle for recognition. Her life’s journey is told through music and movement\, in both Russian and English. The second is of a fictional Asian-American woman\, known only as “Professor”\, trying to cope with the prejudice she faces in the present. As she teaches an introductory real analysis class\, she uses mathematical concepts to draw parallels to the race and gender conflicts she encounters in society today. \nSee https://www.corrineyap.com/uniformconvergence/ for more information about the play.
