Title: Renormalization and wild attractors for Fibonacci maps Abstract: A Fibonacci map is a piecewise defined map of a subset of an interval I onto I with a unique critical point of order d whose orbit undergoes nearest returns at Fibonacci times. It has been shown by Bruin, Keller, Nowicki and van Strien that such […]

Following Kalashnikov, we recover Givental’s small J function for CP^1 by viewing it as a quiver flag variety.

We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Shane Rankin (University of California, Riverside) Title: Symplectic Hodge Theory on Lie Algebroids Abstract: Symplectic Hodge Theory was developed in the late 80s to answer a conjecture of Brylinksi. Since then it has been used to understand the gap between Symplectic and […]

Title: Journey of Black Mathematicians Film Description: Creating Pathways (2025) highlights the lives of Black mathematicians who pursued their education at predominantly White institutions. The film gauges the impacts of segregation and prejudice, surveys attitudes around identity, and introduces programs aimed at increasing the number of African Americans in STEM fields. Exploring questions about the […]
