On the spectra of syntactic structures (Isabella Senturia, Yale University)
On ZoomWe explore the application of spectral graph theory to the problem of characterizing linguistically-significant classes of tree structures. We focus on various classes of syntactically-defined tree graphs, and show that […]

Partial orders on standard Young tableaux( Gizem Karaali, Pomona)
On ZoomYoung diagrams are all possible arrangements of n boxes into rows and columns, with the number of boxes in each subsequent row weakly decreasing. For a partition λ of n, […]

Beran’s tests of uniformity for discrete data (Michael Orrison, HMC)
On ZoomSuppose you are given a data set that can be viewed as a nonnegative integer-valued function defined on a finite set. A natural question to ask is whether the data […]

Bounds for nonzero Littlewood-Richardson coefficients (Müge Taskin, Boğaziçi University, Turkey)
On ZoomAs $\lambda$ runs through all integer partitions, the set of Schur functions $\{s_{\lambda}\}_\lambda$ forms a basis in the ring of symmetric functions. Hence the rule $$s_{\lambda}s_{\mu}=\sum c_{\lambda,\mu}^{\gamma} s_{\gamma}$$ makes sense […]
-
A conjugacy criterion for two pairs of 2 x 2 matrices over a commutative ring (Bogdan Petrenko, Eastern Illinois University)
On ZoomI will explain how to apply presentations of algebras (together with some classical results from non-commutative algebra) to obtain some 5 polynomial invariants telling us when two pairs of 2x2 […]
-
Covering by polynomial planks (Alexey Glazyrin, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley)
On ZoomIn 1932, Tarski conjectured that a convex body of width 1 can be covered by planks, regions between two parallel hyperplanes, only if the total width of planks is at […]

Peg solitaire in multiple colors on graphs (Tara Davis, Hawaii Pacific University and Roberto Soto, Cal State Fullerton)
On ZoomPeg solitaire is a popular one person board game that has been played in many countries on various board shapes. Recently, peg solitaire has been studied extensively in two colors on […]
-
Continuous extensions of Ramanujan-expandable arithmetic functions (Matthew Fox, Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and Chai Karamchedu, Sandia National Labs)
On ZoomWe describe a natural way to continuously extend arithmetic functions that admit a Ramanujan expansion and derive the conditions under which such an extension exists. In particular, we show that […]
-
Equidistribution of norm 1 elements in cyclic number fields (Kate Petersen, University of Minnesota Duluth)
On ZoomBy Hilbert’s theorem 90, if K is a cyclic number field with Galois group generated by g, then any element of norm 1 can be written as a/g(a). This gives […]
-
Gap theorems for linear forms and for rotations on higher dimensional tori (Alan Haynes, University of Houston)
On ZoomThis talk is based on joint work with Jens Marklof, and with Roland Roeder. The three distance theorem states that, if x is any real number and N is any […]
