Invariants withstand transformations and, therefore, represent the essence of objects or phenomena. In mathematics, transformations often constitute a group action. Since the 19th century, studying the structure of various types…
A "frieze" is an infinite strip of numbers satisfying certain determinantal identities, or any one of several generalizations of this idea. In this talk, I will give an introduction to…
It is with great enthusiasm that I have the opportunity to announce to the College this year's nominees for the Staff Awards for Excellence. Your colleagues, listed below, have been…
End of year awards and tea.
A convex continuous function can be determined, up to a constant, by its remoteness (distance of the subdifferential to zero). Based on this result, we discuss possible extensions in three…
Transition paths connecting metastable states are significant in science and engineering, such as in biochemical reactions. In this talk, I will present a stochastic optimal control formulation for transition path…
1. Kelsey Hanser Title : Greedy Kohnert Posets Abstract : K-Kohnert polynomials form a large family of polynomials which generalize Lascoux polynomials. Each K-Kohnert polynomial encodes a certain collection of…

Please save the date for the Department of Mathematics Spring 2024 Graduation Ceremony. Commencement starts at 5:30PM, with guest seating starting at 5:00PM.
Cauchy's determinantal identity (1840s) expands via Schur polynomials the determinant of the matrix f, where f(t) = 1/(1-t) is applied entrywise to the rank-one matrix u v^T = (u_i v_j). This theme has…
