Past Events

Functions of microorganisms like looking for nutrition and biological processes such as infection and reproduction are possible due to microfluidic motion. Developments over the past two decades in tracking and manipulation at the microfluidic level...

Let K/k be a finite Galois extension. We define a principal version of the Chebotarev density theorem which represents the density of prime ideals of k that factor into a product of principal prime ideals in K. We find explicit equations to express...

Mathematics has developed an increasingly “higher dimensional” point of view of when different things deserve the same name, categorifying the traditional logical notion of equality to isomorphism (from Greek isos “equal” and morphe “form” or “shape”...

Poincaré-Einstein spaces are a generalization of the Poincaré model of hyperbolic space. They were introduced to study holographically the conformal geometry of the boundary at infinity. This geometric correspondence underlies the AdS/CFT...

In an introduction to proofs course, students learn to write proofs informally in the language of set theory and classical logic. In this talk, I'll explore the alternate possibility of teaching students to write proofs informally in the language of...

An interesting question in spectral graph theory is about the structure of the eigenvectors of matrices associated with graphs. A graph is weakly Hadamard diagonalizable (WHD) if its Laplacian matrix L can be diagonalized with a weakly Hadamard...

Decompositions of combinatorial structures translate very often to functional equations with positive coefficients for their generating functions. A theorem by Bender says that if the generating function is univariate and the equation not linear, the...
