On the Lucky Sets of Fubini Rankings Melissa Beerbower Loyola University Chicago Recall that Fubini rankings of length n are rankings of n competitors allowing for ties. We can say that the number of rankings, k, with k less than …
Introduction to (Partial) Z-Boundaries Joe Paulson PhD Graduate Student University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee In this talk, I'll share an abridged story of Z-boundaries and their utility in group theory. Throughout, we'll revisit some main characters (compactifications, homotopy groups, group …
Kohnert Properties of Northeast Diagrams Alexander Moon Graduate Student University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Kohnert polynomials and posets are combinatorial objects with deep representation theoretic meaning, generalizing both Schubert polynomials and Demazure characters, i.e., key polynomials. In this talk I …
(t,r) Broadcast Domination of the Truncated Square Tiling Graph Jillian Cervantes Graduate Student University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee This talk will introduce graph domination theory and a generalization called (t,r) broadcast domination. We study a family of graphs that arise …
Combinatorial Models for Some Generalized McMullen Maps in the Case of Two Bounded Critical Orbits Kelsey Brouwer PhD Student University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee The family of generalized McMullen maps R(z)= z^n + b + a/z^n has two independent critical …
Blowup of the Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation in FLRW Spacetimes Gregory Mwamba Graduate Student University of California - Merced The nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations are a class of important evolution equations that describe the movement of spinless relativistic particles, which can lend …
A q-analog of Kostant's Weight Multiplicity Formula and a Product of Fibonacci Numbers Kim Harry PhD Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Using Kostant’s weight multiplicity formula, we describe and enumerate the terms contributing a nonzero value to the multiplicity of …
Finite State Machines and Bounded Permutations Eric Redmon Graduate Student Marquette University We define a k-bounded permutation Ï€ of length n to be a permutation such that for each pair of adjacent entries $\pi$ and $\pi(i + 1)$ for $i …
Graduate Student Colloquium: Soft Open This is our first Math Graduate Student Colloquium. We will be hanging out, eating snacks, and getting back into the swing of semester life. Please, join us and get a feel of what to expect …
Finite Elements for Mathematicians Liam Jemison PhD Graduate Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee We will discuss the finite element method, a powerful approach for numerically solving differential equations. We will introduce the weak formulation of a differential equation from the functional …
