Applied Math Seminar — Jamie Haddock (HMC)
Title: Connections between Iterative Methods for Linear Systems and Consensus Dynamics on Networks Abstract: There is a well-established linear algebraic lens for studying consensus dynamics on networks, which has yielded significant theoretical results in areas like distributed computing, modeling of opinion dynamics, and ranking methods. Recently, strong connections have been made between problems of consensus […]

Continuous extensions of Ramanujan-expandable arithmetic functions (Matthew Fox, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and Chai Karamchedu, Sandia National Labs)
We describe a natural way to continuously extend arithmetic functions that admit a Ramanujan expansion and derive the conditions under which such an extension exists. In particular, we show that the absolute convergence of a Ramanujan expansion does not guarantee the convergence of its real variable generalization. We take the divisor function as a case […]
Towards Knot Homology for 3-Manifolds (Aaron Mazel-Gee, California Institute of Technology)
The Jones polynomial is an invariant of knots in R^3. Following a proposal of Witten, it was extended to knots in 3-manifolds by Reshetikhin-Turaev using quantum groups. Khovanov homology is a categorification of the Jones polynomial of a knot in R^3, analogously to how ordinary homology is a categorification of the Euler characteristic of a […]
