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 …
On Whitney numbers of the first and second kind, or is it the other way around? Dr. Rafael S. González D'León Assistant Professor Loyola University Chicago Algebraic combinatorics is centered on the idea that a variety of algebraic objects can …
Do you like to talk about teaching? Do you like to socialize with other people in the department? Do you like pear bread? Do you have nothing better to do on a Friday afternoon? Bring your thoughts: Have you done …
PDE Problems in Thin Filament Hydrodynamics Prof. Laurel Ohm Assistant Professor of Mathematics University of Wisconsin-Madison Many fundamental biophysical processes, from cell division to cellular motility, involve dynamics of thin structures immersed in a very viscous fluid. Various popular models …
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 …
Ion Channels, the Ultimate Multiscale Device Prof. Bob Eisenberg Professor of Biomathematics and Physiology Department of Physiology & Biophysics, Rush University, Chicago IL Proteins called ion channels are the ultimate multiscale device, the ‘nanovalves of life’ controlling most biological functions …
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 …
