Noether-Lefschetz theory and class groups (John Brevik, Cal State Long Beach)
The classical Noether-Lefschetz Theorem states that a suitably general algebraic surface S of degree d ≥ 4 in complex projective 3-space P3 contains no curves besides complete intersections, that is, curves of the form S ∩ T where T is another surface. After discussing briefly Noether’s non-proof of this theorem and hinting at the idea […]
Claremont Topology Seminar: Vijay Higgins (UCLA)
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Vijay Higgins (UCLA) Title: Webs and skein algebras Abstract: The Jones polynomial of a link can be computed diagrammatically by using skein relations, which encode the representation theory of SL(2). By considering the vector space spanned by links drawn on a surface and […]

CCMS Colloquium: Dynamical Systems and the Period 3 Implies Chaos Theorem (Michelle Manes, AIM)
Speaker: Michelle Manes, AIM Title: Dynamical Systems and the Period 3 Implies Chaos Theorem Abstract: Sharkovskii’s theorem, sometimes called "period 3 implies chaos," concerns a one-dimensional real dynamical system: a function from the real line to itself that you iterate and study the orbits of points. This theorem is fascinating because of its very simple […]
