SUMMARY:Marden Colloquium: Dr. Trachette Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Agent-based Modeling of Dysregulated Cell Signaling and the Tumor-Immune Landscape Predicts New Possibilities for Combination Therapy\nDr. Trachette Jackson\nProfessor of Mathematics and Associate Vice President for Research – Strategic Partnerships and Inclusive Excellence\nUniversity of Michigan \nMathematical models\, specifically agent-based models (ABMs)\, have shown recent successes in uncovering the multiscale dynamics that shape the trajectory of cancer. They have enabled the optimization of treatment methods and the identification of novel therapeutic strategies. To assess the combined effects on tumor growth and the immune response of monoclonal antibodies that boost the immune system (immunotherapy) and small molecule inhibitors (SMI) that counteract the effect of driver mutations\, we build and analyze an ABM that captures key facets of tumor heterogeneity and immune cell dynamics\, their spatial interactions\, and their response to therapeutic pressures. Our model predicts that under certain conditions\, immunotherapy alone is optimal; in others\, immunotherapy followed by mutation-targeted therapy is best. These results suggest that optimal treatment depends on the strength of cellular signaling pathways and highlight the need to quantify mutation-dependent cell signaling and the fitness advantage conferred on cancer cells harboring these mutations.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Lauren Rose
DESCRIPTION:Quads\, Finite Geometry\, and Sidon Sets\nDr. Lauren Rose\nAssociate Professor of Mathematics\nBard College \nQuads is a SET-like card game\, produced by the AWM under the name “EvenQuads”. The cards can be represented as points in $\mathbb{Z}_2^6$​\, where a quad in the game corresponds to an affine plane in the finite geometry$ AG(6\,2)$. Our primary focus is on quad-free collections of cards\, which correspond to Sidon sets. We explore an Quads analog of the “Cap Set” problem for SET\, presenting results and ongoing research.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Alastair Fletcher
DESCRIPTION:Infinitesimal Spaces of Quasiregular Mappings\nProf. Alastair Fletcher\nProfessor of Mathematical Sciences and Director of Undergraduate Studies\nNorthern Illinois University \nHow can we differentiate functions which are not differentiable? In the context of quasiregular mappings\, a generalization of holomorphic functions where now infinitesimal circles are mapped to infinitesimal ellipses\, there is a satisfactory answer to this question given by infinitesimal spaces. In this talk\, we will survey these objects and discuss some ongoing work with relevance to the Decomposition Problem for bi-Lipschitz maps.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Laurel Ohm
DESCRIPTION:PDE Problems in Thin Filament Hydrodynamics\nProf. Laurel Ohm\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison \nMany fundamental biophysical processes\, from cell division to cellular motility\, involve dynamics of thin structures immersed in a very viscous fluid. Various popular models have been developed to describe this fluid-structure interaction mathematically\, but much of our understanding of these models is at the level of numerics and formal asymptotics. Here we will discuss some of the interesting issues that arise in developing the PDE theory of thin filament hydrodynamics\, as well as the insights this analysis perspective can shed on the underlying biophysics.

SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Sven Bergmann
DESCRIPTION:Adding a Third Normal to CLUBB\nMr. Sven Bergmann\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThe Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) model uses the sum of two normal probability density function (pdf) components to represent subgrid variability within a single grid layer of an atmospheric model. This binormal approach\, while computationally efficient\, restricts the model’s ability to capture the full spectrum of potential shapes encountered in real-world atmospheric data. This thesis proposes to introduce a third normal pdf component strategically positioned between the existing two\, significantly enhancing the model’s representational flexibility. This trinormal representation allows for a wider range of grid-layer shapes while permitting analytic solutions for certain higher order moments. The core of this work lies in deriving the necessary mathematical transformations for incorporating the third normal pdf seamlessly into the CLUBB framework. This thesis lists all formulas\, inputs\, and outputs associated with the extended model as well as gives an outline\non how to check those equations. Additionally\, it describes certain asymptotic behavior of the trinormal pdf under various parameter settings. \nAdvisor: Prof. Vince Larson \nCommittee Members:\nProfs. Vince Larson\, Peter Hinow\, and David Spade

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Roger Howe
DESCRIPTION:Mathematics around the Heisenberg Group\nProf. Roger Howe\nProfessor Emeritus\nYale University \nIn the mid 1920s\, Werner Heisenberg formulated the CCR – canonical commutation relations – describing the relationship between the operations of measuring position and of measuring momentum of a particle in quantum mechanics. These have been fundamental to the later\, dramatically successful development of subatomic physics. Shortly after Heisenberg’s work\, Hermann Weyl pointed out that the CCR defined the relations of a Lie algebra\, whose associated group is a two-step nilpotent group with one dimensional center. Today\, this group (and its increasingly large set of cousins) is known as the “Heisenberg group”. Over the remainder of the 20th century\, appreciation grew of the fundamental role of the Heisenberg group in disparate mathematical topics\, including harmonic analysis\, partial differential equations\, invariant theory and representation theory\, in both finite and infinite dimensions. This talk will review and attempt to summarize some of the manifold connections between these topics that are mediated by the Heisenberg group

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Yoichiro Mori
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical Modeling of Cell Volume Control and Electrolyte Balance\nProf. Yoichiro Mori\nProfessor of Mathematics\nUniversity of Pennsylvania \nElectrolyte and cell volume regulation is essential in physiological systems. Biophysical modeling in this area\, however\, has been relatively sparse. After a brief introduction to cell volume control and electrophysiology\, I will discuss the classical pump-leak model of electrolyte and cell volume control. It will be shown that thermodynamic considerations lead to a new perspective of cell volume control. This classical model will then be generalized to a model with spatial extent (a system of partial differential equations) modeling cell-level electrodiffusive and osmotic phenomena. A simplified version of this model will then be applied to study osmosis-driven cell movement. I will also touch upon tissue-level models of ionic electrodiffusion and osmotic water flow which we have developed to study certain pathophysiologies of the central nervous system.

SUMMARY:Marden Special Topics Seminar: Prof. Caroline Klivans
DESCRIPTION:The Mathematics of Chip-Firing\nCaroline Klivans\nProfessor of Applied Mathematics\, Deputy Director of ICERM\nBrown University \nChip-firing processes are discrete dynamical systems. A commodity (chips\, sand\, dollars) is exchanged between sites of a network according to simple local rules. Although governed by local rules\, the long-term global behavior of the system reveals unexpected properties\, including intricate fractal-like patterns. In this talk\, I will give a broad survey of the theory of chip-firing\, highlighting both classical results and recent advances.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jay Pantone
DESCRIPTION:Experimental Methods in Combinatorics\nDr. Jay Pantone\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nMarquette University \nWhat number comes next in the sequence\n1\, 2\, 4\, 8\, 16\, 32\, … ? \nHow about\n1\, 2\, 3\, 5\, 8\, 13\, … ? \nOr maybe\n1\, 3\, 14\, 84\, 592\, 4659\, … ? \nMany questions in combinatorics have the form “How many objects are there that have size n and that satisfy certain properties?” For example\, there are n! permutations (rearrangements) of n distinct objects\, there are 2^n binary strings of length n\, and the number of sequences of n coin flips that never have two tails in a row is the nth Fibonacci number. The “counting sequence” of a set of objects is the sequence a_0\, a_1\, a_2\, …\, where a_n is the number of objects of size n. \nAs a result of theoretical advances and more powerful computers\, it is becoming common to be able to compute a large number of initial terms of the counting sequence of a set of objects that you’d like to study. From these initial terms\, can you guess future terms? Can you guess a formula for the nth term in the sequence? Can you guess the asymptotic behavior as n tends to infinity? \nRigorously\, you can prove basically nothing from just some known initial terms. But\, perhaps surprisingly\, there are several empirical techniques that can use these initial terms to shed some light on the nature of a sequence. \nAs we talk about two such techniques — automated conjecturing of generating functions\, and the method of differential approximation — we’ll exhibit their usefulness through a variety of combinatorial topics\, including chord diagrams\, permutation classes\, and inversion sequences.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Jean-Pierre Mutunguha
DESCRIPTION:The Dynamical view of Free-by-Cyclic Groups\nDr. Jean Pierre Mutanguha\nInstructor\nPrinceton \nFree-by-cyclic groups can be defined as mapping tori of free group automorphisms. I will discuss various dynamical properties of automorphisms that turn out to be group invariants of the corresponding free-by-cyclic groups (e.g. growth type). In particular\, certain dynamical hierarchical decompositions of an automorphism determine canonical hierarchical decompositions of its mapping torus.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Dr. Emmanuel Asante-Asamani
DESCRIPTION:A Mechanochemical Model of Cell Migration in Confined Environments\nDr. Emmanuel Asante-Asamani\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nClarkson University \nEukaryotic cells can move in confined environments by using pressure driven protrusions of their cell membrane\, a motility mechanism known as blebbing. Blebbing has been observed to facilitate the movement of tumor cells and some cancer cells during metastasis. Many questions remain unanswered about how cells translate mechanical cues from their environment into coordinated movement during blebbing. Of particular interest is how proteins that link the cell membrane to the cortex regulate the size and frequency of blebs under different levels of environmental confinement. In this talk\, I will present a multiscale model of bleb expansion that treats the cell as a viscous fluid encased by a viscoelastic boundary\, whose mechanical properties are regulated by dynamic structural and motor proteins. Numerical simulation of this model supports experimental data suggesting\, contrary to intuition\, that weakening the adhesion of the cell membrane to the cortex produces smaller and less frequent blebs.

SUMMARY:Colloquium : Dr. Selvi Kara
DESCRIPTION:Combinatorial Resolutions of Monomial Ideals\nDr. Selvi Kara\nAssistant Professor of Mathematics\nBryn Mawr College \nOne of the central problems in commutative algebra concerns understanding the structure of an ideal in a polynomial ring. Abstractly\, an ideal’s structure can be expressed through an object called its minimal resolution\, but there is no explicit method to obtain a minimal resolution in general\, even for the simpler and fundamental class known as monomial ideals. \nIn this talk\, we will focus on resolutions of monomial ideals. In particular\, I will introduce a new combinatorial method that provides a resolution of any monomial ideal using tools from discrete Morse theory.

SUMMARY:Colloquium: Prof. Michael Geline
DESCRIPTION:A finite geometry problem from some conjectures of Brauer\nProf. Michael Geline\nProfessor of Mathematics\nNorthern Illinois University \nWe will begin with a problem in “finite geometry” which captures at least some of the spirit of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic. More specifically\, we will solve an elementary problem about vector spaces over the integers (mod p) by looking at sums of complex roots of unity. We will then see how this problem arose from a conjectured local to global principle in the representation theory of finite groups.
