Differential games, as an offspring of game theory and optimal control, provide the modeling and analysis of conflict in the context of a dynamical system. Computing Nash equilibria is one…
A group G is called coherent if every finitely generated subgroup of G is finitely presented. This is a property enjoyed by the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds, and it is…
Tensors (aka multiway arrays) can be instrumental in revealing latent correlations residing in high dimensional spaces. Despite their applicability to a broad range of applications in machine learning, speech recognition,…
In this talk, I will discuss two different 'ranking' models: Mallows' ranking model and rank-dependent diffusions. In the first part, I will discuss the rank-dependent diffusions. I will focus on…
A geometrically-exact beam is a nonlinear field-theoretic model for elongated elastic objects. It utilizes moving frames to reduce the number of system’s independent spatial variables, which is a further development…
Intermittent androgen deprivation therapy (IADT) is an attractive treatment approach for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (PCa), whereby cycling treatment on and off has been shown to limit toxicities and reduce…
Profs. Ilse Ipsen, Ralph Smith, and Mansoor Haider will provide their insight on experiences in academic job hiring. This panel will provide graduate students interested in careers in academia with…
This panel discussion will provide students with interview strategies for different types of jobs (academic, industrial, labs, etc.). Some time will be spent on the environment at the Joint Mathematics…

A transverse link is a link in the 3-sphere that is everywhere transverse to the standard contact structure. Transverse links are considered up to transverse isotopy, with classical invariants such…
Steve Campbell will be retiring as of January 1, 2019 after 47 years of service to the department.
How do we know that we can trust our machine learning models? How do we detect when an adversary is exploiting our machine learning solutions? How does the explainability of machine…
Grant Barkley Title: Coxeter Groups and the Lattice of Total Orders Abstract: A Coxeter group is a group generated by elements of order 2, called reflections, along with…
Chapoton triangles are polynomials in two variables defined by Coxeter-Catalan objects. These polynomials are related by some remarkable identities that only depend on the rank of the associated (finite) Coxeter system. The multidimensional…
Quantized higher Teichmüller theory, as described by Fock and Goncharov, assigns an algebra and its representation to a surface and a Lie group. This assignment is equivariant with respect to…
Dean McGahan will be attending and will speak at the meeting. I am happy to solicit questions from the faculty and staff that will be sent to the Dean ahead…
