Title: "Interpolation for polynomials in two variables" Abstract: I will discuss the following problem: given n general points {p_i} in the plane, and positive integer {m_i}, what is the dimension of the space of polynomials f(x,y) of degree d having multiplicity at least m_i at p_i for each i?  Various conjectures are available for different […]

Come join Educ8 for our last meeting of the semester! We'll have pizza, origami, and math games to have some fun and relax before finals week. We hope to see you there! Educ8 is the Math Education club at CSU. To join the mailing list, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/fDnn7KZmW6Y3kGeDA

Advisor:  Dr. Rachel Pries Committee:  Dr. Alexander Hulpke, Dr. Mark Shoemaker, Dr Joe Gersch Title: An Exploration of the Genus 2 Superspecial (2,2)-Isogeny Graph Abstract: In 2022, one of the finalists for NIST's call for a post-quantum cryptography, SIKE, was broken by Castryck and Decru. They constructed an attack relying on the Genus 2 Superspecial […]

Professor James Wilson will be giving a high-level survey of where we are going with Homotopy Type Theory this semester.

The first third of the semester will be used to prepare for Professor Emily Rheil's colloquium talk on homotopy type theory on February 20 - we will be walking through type theory - simple, dependent, identity types, and induction. Lastly, we have a new website! It's at https://csu-applied-category-theory.github.io/

The Rocky Mountain Algebraic Combinatorics Seminar (RMAC) will be starting up again this semester with our first talk on February 3, 2023.  Our seminars will happen on some Fridays at 4 PM in Weber 223 on CSU's campus as usual, with refreshments beforehand at 3:30 in Weber 117. Gelfand pairs and finite metric spaces Richard […]

Talk 1: Spectral Turan problems for intersecting even cycles Dheer Desai University of Wyoming Turán numbers are a cornerstone of extremal graph theory. For graphs with chromatic number at least three, the asymptotics of the Turán numbers are completely known and follow from celebrated results of Erdős, Stone and Simonovits. However, these remain unknown for […]

TITLE: Homotopy type theory and univalent foundations ABSTRACT: This talk will introduce alternative foundations for mathematics in which "equality" becomes "identity," which is no longer a mere predicate but can carry structure. The primitive notion is called a "type," which can be interpreted as something like a set, or as something like a mathematical proposition, […]

Advisor: Dr. Henry AdamsCo-Advisor:Emily King Committee:  Dr. Jess Hagman, Dr. Imme Ebert-Uphoff Title: Using Mathematical Techniques to Leverage Domain Knowledge in Image Analysis for Earth Science Abstract: When presented with the power of modern machine learning techniques, there is a belief that we can simply let these algorithms loose on the data and see what […]

Advisor: Dr. Michael Kirby Committee:  Dr. Emily King,Dr. Chris Peterson,Dr. Charles Anderson Title: Subspace and Network Averaging for Computer Vision and Bioinformatics Abstract: Finding a central prototype (a.k.a. average) from cluster of points may seem like a problem from elementary school statistics (e.g. the mean), but has broad application to complex problems like action clustering […]
