SUMMARY:PhD Dissertation Defense: Kimberly Harry
DESCRIPTION:Kostant’s Formula and Parking Functions: Combinatorial Explorations\nKimberly Harry\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nWe let L(λ) denote the irreducible highest weight representation of the classical simple Lie algebra g with highest weight λ. Kostant’s weight multiplicity formula gives a way to compute the multiplicity of a weight µ in L(λ)\, denoted m(λ\, µ)\, via an alternating sum over the Weyl group whose terms involve the Kostant partition function. The Weyl alternation set A(λ\, µ) is the set of Weyl group elements that contribute nontrivially to the multiplicity m(λ\, µ). We prove that Weyl alternation sets are order ideals in the weak Bruhat order of the Weyl group. Specializing to the Lie algebra of type A\, we prove that the Weyl alternation sets A(˜α\, µ)\, where ˜α is the highest root of sl_{r+1}(C) and µ is a positive root is a product of Fibonacci numbers. Using this result\, we show that the q-multiplicity of the positive root in the representation L(˜α) is precisely a power of q. We give a complete characterization of the Weyl alternation sets A(˜α\, µ)\, where µ is now a negative root of sl_{r+1}(C). We also show that the cardinality of these Weyl alternation sets satisfies a two-term recurrence relation involving Fibonacci numbers. Time permitting I will present further results related to collaborative projects I have contributed to during my years at 51ÁÔÆæ. \nAdvisor: Pamela E. Harris \nCommittee Members:\nProfs. Jeb Willenbring\, Kevin McLeod\, Gabriella Pinter\, and Jonah Gaster

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Matt McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Fractal Geometry and Non-Integer Dimensions\nMatt McClinton\nPhD Graduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nPopularized in the 1980s\, fractals have become something of a household name. These fractal sets often demonstrate peculiar topological properties. One such property is the notion of a fractal dimension. Sets such as the Cantor set\, Sierpinski Gasket (SG)\, and the von Koch curve are traditionally visualized in 2D images. However\, these sets actually exist in-between dimensions 1 and 2! \nCertain fractals can be built using what is known as an Iterated Function System (IFS)\, and there is a powerful theorem stating that having an IFS representation of a fractal provides a simple means of determining the fractal dimension. I will begin by stating the IFS that generates the Sierpinski Gasket. There are two transformations on the Gasket to which creates the Level-n Stretched Sierpinski Gasket (SSG^n). I will demonstrate how one constructs the IFS for SSG^n\, as well as provide the highlights to a theorem in which I prove the fractal dimension of SSG^n.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Alastair Fletcher
DESCRIPTION:Infinitesimal Spaces of Quasiregular Mappings\nProf. Alastair Fletcher\nProfessor of Mathematical Sciences and Director of Undergraduate Studies\nNorthern Illinois University \nHow can we differentiate functions which are not differentiable? In the context of quasiregular mappings\, a generalization of holomorphic functions where now infinitesimal circles are mapped to infinitesimal ellipses\, there is a satisfactory answer to this question given by infinitesimal spaces. In this talk\, we will survey these objects and discuss some ongoing work with relevance to the Decomposition Problem for bi-Lipschitz maps.
