FRAGMENT: Wall crossing morphisms for moduli of stable pairs.

Dear friends of FRAGMENT, this week we are very happy to have Giovanni Inchiostro visit us from University of Washington. Seminar lunch at 12noon for the interested (grad students subsidized). See you soon! Consider a quasi-compact moduli space M of pairs (X,D) consisting of a variety X and a divisor D on X. If M […]

Front Range Number Theory Day at CSU

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting FRNTD Spring 2022 here at CSU as a special joint Conference with Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium (WAGS) on April 23, 2022.  The talk by Stefan Erickson will be designed with an undergraduate audience in mind, and the other talks will be designed with a graduate […]

PhD Preliminary Examination of Wei-Yu Hsu

Weber 201

Title: Nonlinear dynamics of plant pigmentation Advisor:  Dr. Patrick Shipman Committee:  Dr. Jennifer Mueller, Dr. Mark Bradley, Dr. Richard Finke Red, blue, and purple colors in plants are primarily due to plant pigments called anthocyanins. In a plant cell, an equilibrium is established between anionic and cationic forms of anthocyanins as well electrically neutral colorless […]

Colloquium: Carol S. Woodward

Weber 223

Time Integration Methods and Software for Scientific Simulations: Carol S. Woodward Time-dependent systems are at the heart of numerous scientific applications requiring simulation.  While single rate, fixed step size time integration methods have been used for decades, adaptive step methods and schemes that can efficiently evolve problems with multiple time scales have not yet been fully […]

FRAGMENT: Cross-ratios and perfect matchings

Dear friends of FRAGMENT, to decompress from the adrenaline high weekend of WAGS, we are very happy to have Rob Silversmith, from Warwick/MSRI, speak to us this week (at 3:15pm). Given a bipartite graph G (subject to a simple constraint), the "cross-ratio degree” of G is a non-negative integer invariant of G, defined via a […]

The Algebraic Combinatorics Seminar

Weber 223

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 […]

MS Defense of Kirk Bonney

Weber 201

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 […]
