Applied Math Seminar — Leif Zinn-Brooks (HMC/Scripps)
Title: Circadian Rhythms in Multinucleate Cells Abstract: Circadian rhythms are among the most researched cellular processes, but limited work has been done on how these rhythms are coordinated between nuclei in multinucleate cells. I'll analyze a mathematical model for circadian oscillations in a multinucleate cell, motivated by mRNA and protein data from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Stochastic simulations of […]

New norms on matrices induced by polynomials (Angel Chavez, Pomona)
The complete homogeneous symmetric (CHS) polynomials can be used to define a family of norms on Hermitian matrices. These 'CHS norms' are peculiar in the sense that they depend only on the eigenvalues of a matrix and not its singular values (as opposed to the Ky-Fan and Schatten norms). We will first give a general overview behind […]
Topology Seminar — Matthew vonAllmen
Title: Untying Knots with Neural Nets Abstract: Neural networks can transform 3-dimensional data in a manner reminiscent of an ambient isotopy. With some modifications, a neural network can be trained to manipulate the vertices of a knot while respecting its topological structure. We use the discrete Mo ̈bius energy as a loss function to incentivize […]

October 13, 2021 -What we talk about when we talk about math (Prof. Lillian Pierce)
What we talk about when we talk about math (Prof. Lillian Pierce)
Title: What we talk about when we talk about math Speaker: Prof. Lillian Pierce, Nicholas J. and Theresa M. Leonardy Professor of Mathematics at Duke University Abstract: In 1864, the mathematician J. J. Sylvester wrote: May not Music be described as the Mathematics of the sense, Mathematics as Music of the reason?...Thus the musician feels […]
