If G is a Lie group, let Sub(G) be the set of all subgroups H of G that are topologically closed subsets of G. There is a natural topology on Sub(G), called the Chabauty topology. We’ll define the Chabauty topology, …
Presented by Dr. Erik Insko, Professor of Mathematics, Iowa State University. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to Ehrhart polynomials, which count the number of lattice points in a convex lattice polytope and also describe the polytope’s …
Presented by Dr. Steve Butler, Professor of Mathematics, Iowa State University. A classic problem in mathematics is “Can you hear the shape of a drum?” In graph theory, this is often phrased in terms of the eigenvalues of matrices associated …
