• Analysis Seminar: Exceptional Sets for Divergent Fourier Series (Prof. Michael O’Neill (CMC))

    Estella 2131, Pomona College 610 N College Ave, Claremont, United States

    Title: Exceptional Sets for Divergent Fourier Series Abstract: A survey of some old and newer results on divergent Fourier series with some comments on how they relate to undergraduate analysis courses and (time permitting) leading to a brief discussion of an open question on the size of exceptional sets in divergence examples and some progress […]

    Title: What can chicken McNuggets tell us about symmetric functions, positive polynomials, random norms, and AF algebras? Abstract: Numerical semigroups are combinatorial objects that lead to deep and subtle questions. With tools from complex, harmonic, and functional analysis, probability theory, algebraic combinatorics, and computer-aided design, we answer virtually all asymptotic questions about factorization lengths in […]

    Title: Review of differential geometry Abstract: 1. Given the embedding of a sphere of radius rho centered at the origin of \R^3 from spherical coordinates, what is the pullback of the flat […]

    Title: Developments in Noncommutative Fractal Geometry Abstract:  As a noncommutative fractal geometer, I look for new expressions of the geometry of a fractal through the lens of noncommutative geometry.  At the quantum scale, the wave function of a particle, but not its path in space, can be studied.  Riemannian methods often rely on smooth paths to encode […]
