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:MS Thesis Defense: Menalu Mekcha
DESCRIPTION:On the Combinatorics of Restricted Skew Dyck Paths\nMenalu Mekcha\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \n\nThis thesis studies the enumerative combinatorics of skew and restricted Dyck path families. Beginning with classical Dyck paths\, non-decreasing Dyck paths\, and domino tilings\, we review their connections to Catalan numbers and odd-indexed Fibonacci numbers. For partial skew Dyck paths\, we use Prodinger’s decorated path framework and the kernel method to obtain level-by-level generating functions and a structural bijection explaining the level recurrence.\n\nThe main contribution concerns restricted skew Dyck paths whose valley heights form a non-decreasing sequence. By tracking semi-length and peak count\, we derive the bivariate generating function S_UD(x\,y)=xy(1-2x)/((1-2x)^2-xy(1-x)). Setting y=1 recovers the total enumeration as a Fibonacci binomial sum. Finally\, extracting row polynomials from this generating function shows that the double-indexed array s_UD(n\,m) gives a combinatorial realization of OEIS triangle A114164.

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Ms. Monica Cabria
DESCRIPTION:Convergences groups and Gromov Hyperbolic Spaces\nMonica Cabria\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThis thesis investigates the relationship between convergence group actions and hyperbolic spaces. Since the 1990s\, this relationship has been a significant theme in geometric group theory\, revealing deep connections between geometry and dynamics. The goal of this thesis is to provide a streamlined introduction to these ideas and to clarify the proofs of several foundational results.\n\nIn particular\, we discuss a theorem of Tukia and Freden showing that properly discontinuous actions on hyperbolic spaces induce convergence group actions on their boundaries\, and a theorem of Bowditch characterizing convergence group actions through the induced action on the space of distinct triples. Together\, these results illustrate how geometric properties of hyperbolic spaces are reflected in the dynamics of group actions on their boundaries.

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Ms. Jerianne Bonaguidi
DESCRIPTION:Proving a Softball Pitch Can Rise Under 60mph Through Mathematical Modeling\nJerianne Bonaguidi\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nMany softball coaches claim that a pitcher cannot actually throw a rise ball under 60mph; they claim it is just a “high fastball.” This project tests that theory with a live pitcher\, calculus\, and physics equations. The major claim is that if a pitcher has a high enough spin rate\, the ball can still rise throughout its whole entire trajectory\, even if thrown under 60mph. \nAdvisor:\nDr. Gabriella Pinter \nCommittee Members:\nDr. Craig Guilbault\nDr. Lijing Sun

SUMMARY:PhD Dissertation Defense: Mr. Andrew Frohmader
DESCRIPTION:Graded multiplicities in the Kostant-Rallis setting\nMr. Andrew Frohmader\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThis dissertation contains two main results. First\, we provide combinatorial branching rules for GL(n\, C) to O(n\, C) and GL(2n\, C) to Sp(2n\, C) extending the Littlewood restriction rules. Second\, we use these branching rules and the combinatorics of GL(n\, C)-crystals to derive a formula for the graded multiplicity of a K-type in the regular functions on the K-nilpotent cone for GL(n\, R)\, GL(n\, C) and GL(n\, H). \nAdvisor:\nJeb Willenbring \nCommittee Members:\nAllen Bell\, Chris Hruska\, Istvan Lauko\, and Kevin McLeod

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.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Trevor Leslie
DESCRIPTION:Sticky Particle Solutions of the Euler Alignment system \nThis talk is about the Euler Alignment system from the field of collective behavior. After a primer on modeling considerations and the equations at issue\, we discuss the weak solution theory developed by Leslie and Tan via using a sticky particle discretization technique pioneered by Brenier and Grenier. The special structure of the equations allows us a detailed look into the time-asymptotic behavior of the system\, including the structure of so-called “flocking states”.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kushlam Srivastava
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Boundaries of Groups\nA key idea in the field of geometric group theory is to study geometric and topological objects associated with groups. Boundaries of groups are examples of such objects. In this talk we will look at boundaries of (relatively) hyperbolic groups and see how their topology is directly related to algebraic properties of groups. This expository talk is meant to be an entry point for the audience to explore geometric group theory and no prior knowledge except basic topology is needed.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Joseph Rennie
DESCRIPTION:(Higher) Categorical Galois Theory for the Aspiring Mathematician \nHere we focus on the function/motivation of specific structures (most likely new to the audience) in high-level mathematics with the aim of highlighting major themes in the broader canvas of modern mathematics. Specifically\, Galois Theoretic ideas emerge across disciplines\, all as instances of a single theorem in (higher) category theory. This talk uses that idea to motivate a journey through three main themes relevant to any area: \n\nThe ubiquity of presheaf localizations\nThe concept of a classifying object\nThe pervasiveness of Algebro-Geometric duality\n\nIn some parts\, I will use categorical-theoretic language not with the expectation that people speak the language\, but rather as a demonstration of the beauty of the perspective gained by acquiring fluency. (What better way to motivate oneself to learn a new language than to listen to some of its poetry?) \nThis talk also serves as an onboarding for those interested in research projects on this topic. Though the talk should also inspire those who have no interest in category-theoretic research.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Alison Marzocchi
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alison Marzocchi\nSupporting Mathematics Faculty Instructional Improvement with Reflection Cycles\nDr. Alison Marzocchi\nProfessor of Mathematics\nCalifornia State University\, Fullerton \nMany mathematics faculty desire to improve their instruction but may feel they lack the knowledge\, confidence\, skills\, or time to do so. Among numerous professional development activities\, our mathematics department at California State University\, Fullerton offers Reflection Cycles\, both student-facilitated and peer-facilitated. Peer-facilitated Reflection Cycles involve pairs of faculty taking turns leading each other in three phases: planning\, implementation\, and debrief. The planning phase involves setting specific goals for an upcoming lesson. The implementation phase involves observation during a regularly scheduled class session\, with a focus on the goals set by the instructor. The debrief phase involves reflection on the implementation and setting new goals for the future. A second Reflection Cycle can then be scheduled to continue working on the same goals or to set new goals. Reflection Cycles allow for gradual\, sustained\, individualized improvement of instruction. They are facilitated in-house and can additionally improve department camaraderie.
