SUMMARY:Cristian Lopez Morales (UNAL)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first talk in the joint seminar with CCMS Applied Math and the Universidad Nacional de Colombia \nTitle \nSerre Conjecture. Geometric interpretation of the Quillen-Suslin Theorem. \nAbstract: \nThe Quillen-Suslin theorem asserts that over the polynomial ring with coefficients in a field K[x_1\,…\,x_n]\, every projective module is free. Despite the algebraic nature of the objects involved in this theorem and its proof\, this is a problem motivated by geometry. \n\nOriginally\, this problem was proposed by the French mathematician Jean-Pierre Serre as one of his famous conjectures. In this talk\, we will discuss the original formulation of Serre’s conjecture (the Quillen-Suslin theorem)\, along with the necessary concepts to translate the geometric statement into the algebraic one.

SUMMARY:Point-counting and topology of algebraic varieties (Siddarth Kannan\, UCLA)
DESCRIPTION:A projective algebraic variety X is the zero locus of a collection of homogeneous polynomials\, in projective space. When the polynomials have integer coefficients\, we can think of the k-valued points X(k) of the variety\, for any field k. Now suppose we have two different fields k and k’. How does the behavior of X(k) inform the behavior of X(k’)? It turns out that this is a rich line of inquiry. I will present a particularly pleasing example which relates the topology of the complex-valued points of X with the number of points it has over finite fields.

SUMMARY:Claremont Topology Seminar: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Arizona State university)
DESCRIPTION:We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! \nSpeaker: Puttipong Pongtanapaisan (Arizona State University) \nTitle: Building Knotted Objects Efficiently \nAbstract: Knotted objects can be constructed by gluing together standard pieces called handles. Understanding the minimum number of handles required for construction and their sequential attachment provides valuable insights into the complexity of entanglement. Certain knots require specific types of handles to be attached first\, preventing them from fitting into small lattice tubes. This is particularly relevant as polymers in confinement are modeled as knots within lattice tubes. In this talk\, I will discuss methods for studying these handles and their attachment order using coloring games applied to link diagrams.

SUMMARY:Evolution of an Intriguing Recreational Math Problem (Shawn McMurran\, California State University San Bernardino)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Evolution of an Intriguing Recreational Math Problem \nSpeaker: Shawn McMurran\, California State University San Bernardino \nAbstract: Besides being popular and entertaining\, recreational mathematics problems are often of historical interest. In this presentation we will highlight the origin and evolution of one such simply stated yet deep problem. The problem emerged during the eighteenth century tucked into a primarily standard arithmetic text. Over the next two centuries\, several notable names contributed to a growing collection of extensions\, generalizations\, and solution strategies. In more recent years\, relatives of this versatile problem have remained ubiquitous. It is likely that most audience members are familiar with at least one of its incarnations. During our journey\, opportunities will be provided for the audience to engage with the problem and some of its variations. \n\n\n\n\n\nShawn McMurran is a professor of mathematics at California State University San Bernardino. She earned her PhD in mathematics from UC Riverside with a background in PDEs. Current areas of interest include mathematics education and history of mathematics. She and her colleague Jim Tattersall have enjoyed many years of collaboration on math history projects\, including the subject of this presentation.

SUMMARY:14th WiMSoCal Symposium at Pomona
DESCRIPTION:The 14th Symposium for Women and Gender Minorities in Mathematics in Southern California \nWiMSoCal returns to SoCal after a four-year-hiatus due to pandemic. \nThe symposium will provide an opportunity for women and gender-nonconforming individuals in mathematics in the Southern California area to get to know each other on a personal as well as professional level.  \nOur aim is to create a network of mathematicians in the Southern California area in order to nurture collaborations and provide a framework for mentoring. These relationships can facilitate mathematicians branching into new areas of mathematics\, exploring the variety of ways of contributing mathematically to society and the profession\, and maintaining a healthy\, balanced life. \nAttendees of this symposium will: \n\nLearn about the research of women and gender-nonconforming mathematicians in Southern California \nPresent your work in a supportive environment \nNetwork with other Southern California mathematicians (students\, faculty\, and industry professionals)\nExplore issues surrounding being a woman and gender minority in mathematics \n\nAll are welcome to register and attend: \nhttps://sites.google.com/view/wimsocal2024 \nThis event is made possible partly by Pitzer’s generous Agnes Moreland Jackson Diversity Program Fund.
