What can chicken nuggets tell us about symmetric functions, positive polynomials, random norms, and AF algebras? (Stephan Garcia, Pomona)
A simple question about chicken nuggets connects everything from analysis and combinatorics to probability theory and computer-aided design. With tools from complex, harmonic, and functional analysis, probability theory, algebraic combinatorics, and spline theory, we answer many asymptotic questions about factorization lengths in numerical semigroups. Our results yield uncannily accurate predictions, along with unexpected results about […]

Title: Skein Theory of Affine ADE Subfactor Planar Algebras Abstract: Subfactor planar algebras first were constructed by Vaughan Jones as a diagrammatic axiomatization of the standard invariant of a subfactor. These planar algebras also encode two other invariants of the subfactors: the index and the principal graph. The Kuperberg Program asks to find all diagrammatic […]

Title: “The science of Mathematics is not crystallized into text-books” : The Bryn Mawr Mathematical Journal Club (1896 — 1924) Speaker: Jemma Lorenat, Pitzer College Abstract: As mathematics departments in the United States began to shift toward standards of original research at the end of the nineteenth century, many adopted journal clubs as forums for […]
