Random Variables and How to Generate Them Martin Vieten PhD Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "The concept of a random variable is one of the most fundamental notions in probability theory. Compared to classic deterministic functions, random variables introduce an additional... Read More
Symmetry and the Alhambra Mosaics Featuring: Fredric Ancel University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor of Mathematics "Every pattern has some symmetry which mathematicians study using the idea of a symmetry group – a group of all the ways a pattern or object... Read More
Around a Big Mapping Class Group Juliette Bavard University of Chicago PostDoc "The mapping class group of the plane minus a Cantor set arises naturally in many dynamical contexts. To study this "big mapping class group", we can consider its... Read More
Assessing Student Comprehension of Learning to Solve Systems of Linear Equations with Practical Applications Through In-Class Group Project Aubree Freeman MS Student University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee In this presentation, we will demonstrate the effectiveness of project-based learning by looking at the outcomes...

Using Magnus Representations to Study Automorphism Groups of Free Groups for Both the Study of Mapping Class Groups and Galois Theory, it is Useful to have Tools to Study Automorphism Groups of Free Groups. We Will Discuss One Particular Such... Read More
The q-Difference Noether Problem for Complex Reflection Groups and Quantum OGZ Algebras Jonas Hartwig Assistant Professor of Mathematics Iowa State University "For any complex reflection group G=G(m,p,n), we prove that the G-invariants of the division ring of fractions of the... Read More
Boundary Classification in Groups with Isolated Flats Matthew Haulmark University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Student "In 2000 Kapovich and Kleiner proved that if G is a one-ended hyperbolic group that does not split over a two-ended subgroup, then the boundary of... Read More
Extending Enveloping Algebras via Anti-Cocommutative Elements Daniel Yee University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Student "We know that given a connected Hopf algebra H, the universal enveloping algebra U(P(H)) embeds in H as a Hopf subalgebra. Depending on P(H), we show that... Read More
