A Potpourri of Projective 2-Designs Emily King Colorado State University Zauner conjectured that for all $d$ there exists a set of $d^2$ equiangular vectors in $C^d$ (SICs or Gabor equiangular tight frames). Another important open problem concerns the existence of $d+1$ so-called mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in $C^d$ (maximal sets of MUBs) for any […]
Advisor: Dr. Rachel Pries Committee: Dr. Jamie Juul, Dr. Indrajit Ray Title: GR-NTRU: Understanding the Security of Lattice-based Cryptosystems through Group Rings Originally conceived in 1996 by authors Hoffstein, Pipher, and Silverstein, the Nth-degree Truncated Ring Unit (NTRU) cryptosystem rivals common cryptosystems such as RSA in terms of speed and security. In pursuit of a […]

The Moduli and enumeration seminar (formerly MMARGS) is a weekly reading seminar organized by Maria Gillespie, Renzo Cavalieri and myself. Participants take turns speaking on topics they find interesting, usually loosely connected to moduli spaces, algebraic curves, and counting problems in algebraic geometry. If you are interested in attending, please let me know and I […]
The Number Theory Lab will meet weekly on Thursdays at 1pm in Weber 201. Our first talk will be on Thursday, September 1. We will begin this semester with a series of talks “What is …?” introducing various topics in number theory at a beginning graduate student level. We especially encourage the incoming graduate students […]
Educ8's First Meeting of the Semester! We’re a club for everything math education – math teaching practices, research, theory, and how to navigate a career in mathematics teaching and learning. At our first meeting, we'll do introductions and talk about the goals of the club this semester as well as do some math ed […]
Jedrzej Garnek will speak in Fragment: The main part of the talk will be from 3-3:50, then we will have a 10 minute break, then resume from 4-4:20 with more advanced material.
An introduction to topological combinatorics The chromatic number of a graph is the number of vertex colors needed so that adjacent vertices have different colors. In 1955, Kneser made a conjecture about the chromatic number of a certain family of graphs (now called Kneser graphs). This conjecture remained unproven for 23 years until Lovász gave […]
Title:Defining Persistence Diagrams for Cohomology of a Cofiltration Indexed Over a Finite Lattice Advisor: Dr. Amit Patel Committee: Dr. Mark Shoemaker, Dr. Dustin Tucker Persistent homology and cohomology are important tools in topological data analysis, allowing us to track how homological features change as we move through a filtration of a space. Original work in […]
