January 26, 2026 -Fractional Brownian Motion: Small Increments and First Exit Time from One-sided Barrier (Qidi Peng, CGU)
Fractional Brownian Motion: Small Increments and First Exit Time from One-sided Barrier (Qidi Peng, CGU)
Abstract: The talk introduces a conjecture on the first exit time of fractional Brownian motion: the upper-tail probability for a fractional Brownian motion to first exit a positive-valued barrier over time T has the exact asymptotic rate T^(H-1), where H is the Hurst parameter of the fractional Brownian motion. The talk tries to understand this conjecture […]

January 27, 2026 -The forbidden quiver of a link (Sam Nelson, CMC)
The forbidden quiver of a link (Sam Nelson, CMC)
Virtual links can be represented as equivalence classes of Gauss diagrams under Reidemeister moves. The Forbidden Moves are moves which look plausible but change the virtual isotopy class of the knot or link -- indeed, virtual knots are all trivial if we allow forbidden moves. However, virtual links remain non-trivial. In this talk we show […]

Sampling from the proper colorings of a graph using a number of colors linear in the maximum degree in expected linear time (Mark Huber, CMC)
Abstract: A proper coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors from \( \{1, 2, \ldots, k\} \) to each node of a graph such that no two nodes connected by an edge receive the same color. Let \( \Delta \) denote the maximum degree of the graph. If \( k \geq \Delta + […]

CCMS Colloquium: John Baez (UCR)
CCMS Colloquium invites you to a talk by John Baez (UCR) Title: The mathematics of tuning systems Abstract: Leibniz said "Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting." The first step is choosing a tuning system — the frequency ratios between pitches in a scale. Different kinds […]
