Algebraic loop spaces, quivers, and topology

September 15, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

We define the algebraic double loop space, and algebro-geometric analogue of the double loop space in topology. We discuss quiver descriptions of the algebraic loop space of various homogeneous spaces. We show how this leads to various new results both in topology and ... Read more

The Steklov spectrum of warped products

September 16, 2025 - 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm

ESB 4127

We obtain upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of warped products $\Omega\times_h\Sigma$, where $\Omega$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and $\Sigma$ is a closed Riemannian manifold, under assumptions on the $L^p$-norm of the warping function $h$. The upper ... Read more

Math-Bio: Branching out from compartmental models to analyze genomic data: using phylogenies to learn about pathogen populations

September 17, 2025 - 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

ESB 4133

Phylogenetic trees are mathematical objects that encode information about ancestry relationships and are often used in the interpretation of genomic data. They have proved especially useful for advancing our understanding of pathogen populations that evolve on observable ... Read more
