Traces of Partition Eisenstein series (Ken Ono, University of Virginia)
Traces of Partition Eisenstein series (Ken Ono, University of Virginia)
Integer partitions are ubiquitous in mathematics, arising in subjects as disparate as algebraic combinatorics, algebraic geometry, number theory, representation theory, to mathematics physics. Many of the deepest results on partitions have their origin in the work of Ramanujan. In this lecture, we will describe a completely new and unexpected role for partitions that also arises […]

Claremont Topology Seminar: Claudio Gomez-Gonzales (Carleton College – UC Irvine)
We welcome all undergraduate/graduate students and faculty to attend the Topology Seminar! Speaker: Claudio Gomez-Gonzales (Carleton College - UC Irvine) Title: How hard could it be? A tour of resolvent degree Abstract: Solving algebraic equations are among the oldest problems in mathematics. In this talk, we offer a concrete, visual, and historical introduction to resolvent […]
CCMS Colloquium: Molecular Pasta, Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers (Dorothy Buck, Duke Uni.)
CCMS Colloquium: Molecular Pasta, Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers (Dorothy Buck, Duke Uni.)
Speaker: Dorothy Buck, Professor of Mathematics, Duke University Title: Molecular Pasta: Complex Entanglement in Biopolymers Abstract: If you’ve cooked spaghetti, you’ve probably noticed how the pasta becomes entangled in the pot (especially in a small volume of water) or in your bowl afterwards. This is a macro example of what I like to think about: […]
