September 29, 2025 -Bounds and Extremal Examples for the Hot Spots Ratio (Alex Hsu, University of Washington)
Bounds and Extremal Examples for the Hot Spots Ratio (Alex Hsu, University of Washington)
Abstract: The shape of the fluctuations as heat approaches equilibrium in an insulated body are governed by the first Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplacian. Rauch's hot spots conjecture states that the extrema of the first nontrivial Neumann Laplacian eigenfunction for a Lipschitz domain lies on the boundary. While this conjecture is false in general, its […]

September 30, 2025 -Algebraic lattices and Pisot polynomials (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
Algebraic lattices and Pisot polynomials (Lenny Fukshansky, CMC)
A Z-module M in a number field K gives rise to a lattice in the corresponding Euclidean space via Minkowski embedding. Such lattices often carry inherited structure from the number field in question and can be attractive from both, theoretical and applied perspectives. We consider this construction when M is spanned by the set of […]

October 2, 2025 -Analysis seminar: Transfinite Apollonian metric (Zair Ibragimov, CSU Fullerton)
Analysis seminar: Transfinite Apollonian metric (Zair Ibragimov, CSU Fullerton)
Title: Transfinite Apollonian metric Abstract: The concept of transfinite diameter of compact sets in the complex plane was introduced by Fekete in 1923. It is a generalization of the standard diameter of sets and has found many applications in the study of conformal mappings. The Apollonian metric was introduced by A. Beardon in 1995 and […]

CCMS Colloquium: Ruby Kim (University of Michigan)
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by Ruby Kim (University of Michigan) Title: Mathematical Models of Circadian Rhythms and Seasonal Timing Abstract: The circadian clock shapes nearly 24-hour periodic rhythms throughout the body, from the activity of individual cells to our daily sleep/wake cycles. These rhythms can be self-sustained (for example, people still show circadian […]

October 4, 2025 -GEMS October 4th Session
GEMS October 4th Session
This GEMS session will be facilitated by Professor Chiu-Yen Kao from Claremont McKenna College. Title: Finding Your Optimal Paths Abstract: Path planning plays an important role in many aspects of our daily life, among which are transportation, robotics, and optics. In this session, we will explore the mathematics behind path planning including the Dijkstra's algorithm […]
