Applied Math Seminar — Amy Buchmann (University of San Diego)
Title: Mixing and Pumping on the Microscale Abstract: Mixing and pumping in microfluidics devices is difficult because the traditional methods of mixing and pumping at large length scales don’t work at small length scales. Experimental work has suggested that rotating helical flagella may be used to effectively mix and pump fluid in microfluidics devices. To […]

An algebraic introduction to the Kauffman bracket skein algebra (Helen Wong, CMC)
The Kauffman bracket skein algebra was originally defined as a generalization of the Jones polynomial for knots and links on a surface and is one of the few quantum invariants where the connection to hyperbolic geometry is fairly well-established. Explicating this connection to hyperbolic geometry requires an understanding of the non-commutative structure of the skein algebra, […]

September 29, 2021 -Virtual Trivalent Spatial Graphs . . . (Sherilyn Tamagawa)
Virtual Trivalent Spatial Graphs . . . (Sherilyn Tamagawa)
Title: Virtual Trivalent Spatial Graphs and Virtual Niebrzydowski Algebras Speaker: Prof. Sherilyn Tamagawa Visiting Assistant Professor Pomona College Abstract: If you were given two tangled up circles of string, could you untangle one to look like the other without cutting and reattaching the string? How could you tell? Knot theory explores answers to these questions. In this […]
