SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Christine Cheng
DESCRIPTION:Bridging the Gap Between Stable Marriage and Stable Roommates: A Parameterized Algorithm for Optimal Stable Matchings\nAn instance of the Stable Roommates (SR) problem consists of 2n agents\, each with a preference\nlist that linearly orders the other agents. The goal is to find a perfect matching that is stable – one\nwith no pair of agents who mutually prefer each other to their assigned partners. In this talk\, I\nconsider the problem of finding an optimal stable matching. An efficient algorithm exists for Stable Marriage (SM) instances\, the bipartite version\, but the problem is NP-hard for SR instances. I will sketch a solution showing how an optimal stable matching for an SR instance can be obtained by “covering” it with SM instances.\nIn particular\, the closer the SR instance is to an SM instance\, the more efficient is the solution.\n\nCheck here for more information!\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. José Luis Ramírez
DESCRIPTION:From Polyominoes to Fibonacci and Catalan Numbers\nPolyominoes are simple geometric objects that lead to many interesting and sometimes surprisingly difficult problems in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. In this talk\, I will introduce polyominoes and discuss two classical questions: tiling problems and the enumeration of polyominoes. I will then focus on a recent family of staircase polyominoes that leads to unexpected connections with two of my favorite integer sequences: the Fibonacci and Catalan numbers. If time permits\, I will conclude with some open problems and possible directions for further research.\n\nCheck here for more information!\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jonah Gaster
DESCRIPTION:SIMPLE CLOSED GEODESICS ON HYPERBOLIC\nSURFACES\nMany of the 21st century spectacular advances in geometry and topology involve the study of simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces (Thurston\, Mirzakhani\, etc). I will tell you about one difficult little aspect of this story that I’ve been thinking about recently: How many simple closed geodesics on a hyperbolic surface may have precisely the same length? I will sketch some of the background ideas that indicate why this question is deep\, and related to other things that sound like they have nothing to do with hyperbolic geometry (like modular curves\, Diophantine approximation\, and solutions to polynomial equations).\n  \n

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Nicholas Mayers
DESCRIPTION:The combinatorics of seaweed algebras\nSeaweed algebras form a class of Lie algebras for which a number of algebraic invariants can be computed combinatorially. One such invariant is the index\, an important algebraic invariant which is notoriously difficult to compute. Defining seaweed algebras originally as subalgebras of gl(n)\, Dergachev and Kirillov found that their index could be computed combinatorially by counting paths and cycles in a corresponding planar graph called a meander. Since then\, the notion of a seaweed algebra has been extended to the classical Lie algebras (types A\, B\, C\, and D)\, and the likewise extended notion of their associated meanders have been shown to hold much algebraic information. The goal of this talk is to give a tour of these combinatorial results over both gl(n) as well as the classical types. No prior knowledge is necessary for this talk. Open problems will be sprinkled throughout.\n\nFor more information:\nhttps://sites.google.com/view/nmayers?pli=1&authuser=0\n

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Dave Spade
DESCRIPTION:Statistical Modeling of Control of Animal Motion in Three Dimensions\n\n\n\nThis manuscript gets ahold of the control aspect of how Daphnia magna move through their surroundings in a control-type environment with still water and with no external stimuli. We present a statistical model for step lengths and roll\, pitch\, and yaw angles. We then use this model to describe a procedure for generating biologically realistic synthetic trajectories. The aim of this article is to provide a starting point for modeling animal motion in a variety of environmental settings.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Kevin Palencia Infante
DESCRIPTION:“My Instructor Was Kind of a Computer”: Rethinking Faculty–Student Interactions in Calculus\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kevin Palencia Infante\nAssistant Professor & Calculus Coordinator\nNorthern Illinois University \n\n\n\nWhile computers and AI are playing a growing role in education\, faculty remain essential to teaching in ways that meaningfully shape student learning. In this talk\, I present findings on how calculus students experience their interactions with instructors. Drawing on a qualitative study framed by academic validation and invalidation\, Black and Hispanic students share perspectives on their classroom experiences. They highlight instructional practices that support their learning\, including collaborative environments\, clear conceptual guidance\, availability outside of class\, and actions that make them feel valued. They also point to interactions that leave them feeling unsupported or not validated. Across these experiences\, students emphasize the importance of compassion\, care\, and instructor presence. By centering student voices\, this talk shows how faculty–student interactions shape students’ experiences in calculus beyond content delivery.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Steve Butler
DESCRIPTION:A Short Course in Spectral Graph Theory\nProf. Steve Butler\nMorrill Professor of Mathematics\nIowa State University \nGraphs are used to model relationships (edges) between objects (vertices). A graph’s structure can efficiently stored in an array format. We can go one step further and replace arrays by matrices (which are arrays with benefits!)\, the eigenvalues of these matrices tell us some information about the graph. The extent to which we can understand the structure of the graph from these eigenvalues is spectral graph theory. We will do a quick walk through of some of the flavors of matrices that are studied in spectral graph theory\, and some results that arise from their study.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Genevieve Walsh
DESCRIPTION:Quasi-isometric Hyperbolic and Cusped Relatively Hyperbolic Groups are Symmetric\nProf. Genevieve Walsh\nProfessor of Mathematics\nTufts University \nThis talk will first describe hyperbolic groups and relatively hyperbolic group pairs\, and give some key examples. We then delve into understanding when the cusp space for a relatively hyperbolic group can be quasi-isometric to a hyperbolic group. For example\, real hyperbolic spaces admit uniform and non-uniform lattices. We show that this is the exception. In particular\, if a hyperbolic group is quasi-isometric to a cusped space for a relatively hyperbolic group\, then both groups are lattices acting on a rank-1 symmetric space. \nThis is joint work with Daniel Groves\, Emily Stark\, and Kevin Whyte.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Jonathan Walker-Moses
DESCRIPTION:The Beautiful Interplay of Rotation Groups in Three Dimensions\n\nWe’ll explore the connections between the rotation Lie groups (SU(n) and SO(n)) in two and three dimensions. In doing so\, we’ll prove a remarkable theorem about the way that SU(2) and SO(3) relate using quaternions and then discuss some connections to complex analysis at the end. In doing so\, we’ll take a very fun and (in my opinion) mind-blowing journey through spheres of different dimensions. Absolutely no knowledge of Lie theory is expected and I’ll be happy to clarify any details from topology or group theory that come up that you aren’t familiar with.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jennifer Elder
DESCRIPTION:Doing Anything You Want With Combinatorics\nDr. Jennifer Elder\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nMissouri Western State University \nWhen Mathematical Reviews first launched as a journal in 1940\, combinatorics was not listed as a research area. The Seven Bridges of Königsberg was solved in 1736\, so this absence is not due to later development of the field. Combinatorics has simply been hard to define on its own\, given that it is used as a tool in so many different areas of mathematics. \nThis talk will take the opposite point of view. We will center our focus on several research problems motivated from a combinatorial standpoint\, and the connections to other fields of research. These connections can be simple\, such as bridging different subareas of combinatorics: a study of a specific set of words uncovering unexpected properties of intervals in a lattice. Or the connections can be more odd\, connecting widely different areas of mathematics: a study of braid diagrams on k strands as a dynamical algebraic system.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Elaine Spiller
DESCRIPTION:Uncertainty Quantification for Geophysical Hazard Analysis\nDr. Elaine Spiller\nProfessor of Applied Math and Statistics\nMarquette University \nGeophysical flows — landslides\, storm surge\, tsunamis\, volcanic flows\, etc — pose a serious threat to nearby populations. Ideally\, probabilistic hazard assessments combine available knowledge about physical mechanisms of the hazard\, data on past hazards\, and any available precursor information. Systematically assessing the probability of rare\, yet catastrophic hazards adds a layer of difficulty due to limited observational data. Via computer models\, one can exercise potentially dangerous scenarios that may not have happened in the past but are probabilistically consistent with the aleatoric nature of previous geophysical behavior in the record. \nI will discuss recent work and ongoing methodological challenges toward making efficient and flexible geophysical hazard maps focusing on applications to volcanic flows (pyroclastic density currents) and post-fire debris flows.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Ilana Lavene
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups\nWe introduce a generalization of parking functions in which cars are limited in their movement backwards and forwards by two nonnegative integer parameters k and ℓ\, respectively. In this setting\, there are n spots on a one-way street and m cars attempting to park in those spots\, and 1≤m≤n. We let α= (a1\,a2\,…\,am) in [n]^m denote the parking preferences for the cars\, which enter the street sequentially. Car i drives to their preference a_i and parks there if the spot is available. Otherwise\, car i checks up to k spots behind their preference\, parking in the first available spot it encounters if any. If no spots are available\, or the car reaches the start of the street\, then the car returns to its preference and attempts to park in the first spot it encounters among spots a_i+1\,a_i+2\,…\,a_i+l. If car i fails to park\, then parking ceases. If all cars are able to park given the preferences in α\, then α is called a (k\,l)-pullback (m\,n)-parking function. Our main result establishes counts for these parking functions via a recursive formula.
