For a finite group G, a G-module M, and a field F, an element u in H^d(G,M) is negligible over F if for each field extension L/F and every continuous […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Joe Breen (University of Iowa) Title: Open books in all dimensions Abstract: I will discuss recent work (joint with K. Honda and Y. Huang) on establishing a relationship, first discovered by Giroux, between "contact structures" and "open books". This relationship has been […]
Imagine the hands on a clock. For every complete the minute hand makes, the seconds hand makes 60, while the hour hand only goes one twelfth of the way. […]
We especially welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Ryan Maguire (Dartmouth College) Title: Relative Strengths of Knot Invariants by Experiment Abstract: Four knot polynomials have […]
The famous primitive element theorem states that every number field K is of the form Q(a) for some element a in K, called a primitive element. In fact, it is […]
In late March, students, staff, and faculty were invited to help collaboratively build a large-scale geometric sculpture on the campus of Harvey Mudd College, demonstrating a relationship between truncated octahedra […]
We welcome all undergraduates and graduate students to attend topology seminar! Speaker: Jim Hoste (Pitzer College) Title: Variations on the Kauffman Bracket Abstract: Forty years ago, Lou Kauffman formulated his […]
I will give a brief introduction to well-rounded lattices and to their utility in wireless communications and post-quantum security. We will see how the lattice theta series naturally arises in these contexts and discuss its connections to well-rounded lattices. The talk is based on joint work with Laia Amoros, Amaro Barreal, Taoufiq Damir, Oliver Gnilke, […]
