SUMMARY:MS Thesis Defense: Mr. Carlos Sanchez Diaz
DESCRIPTION:MS Thesis Defense\nCarlos Sanchez Diaz\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\nThis thesis investigates the pedagogical approaches to mathematical functions in the United States and Mexico with the goal of improving instruction in mathematics for Spanish-speaking English Language Learners. By comparing the United States Illustrative Mathematics curriculum with Mexico’s Nueva Escuela Mexicana (Matemáticas IV)\, the study identifies a near-isomorphic relationship between Common Core Standards for Mathematical Practice and Mexico’s disciplinary competencies. This mapping provides U.S. educators with a framework to understand the prior educational experiences of Mexican immigrant students. Ultimately\, these insights should enable teachers to leverage existing student knowledge and deliver more culturally responsive\, effective mathematical instruction. \nCommittee Members: \nKevin McLeod\, Suzanne Boyd\, and Pamela E. Harris

SUMMARY:Community of Practice: Student Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Student Feedback: “I Just Want to Have Fun”\nNow is one of the most challenging points in the academic year.  How do we combat the post-spring-break lull\, student and instructor burnout\, and the “is the semester over yet!?!?” mentality?  While worksheets and problems up at the board are powerful\, can we design active learning that students find more “fun”?  We’ll demo and design content-centered games or activities. Have an activity/idea to share? Bring it with!!! \nWhat is the Community of Practice? \nThe Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers\, GTAs\, faculty) to come together and have chats\, professional development\, speakers\, workshops\, and more related to teaching and learning. There’s no sign-up; simply attend if you want! If you would like to be involved in any planning or would like to run a session\, please email me (henathan@uwm.edu) and let me know. \nThe Community of Practice Canvas Site \nWe have a Community of Practice Canvas site where we keep a signup and modules for past sessions. If you would like to enroll\, here is the link: https://uws-td.instructure.com/enroll/XK96LD

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kimberly Hadaway
DESCRIPTION:Parking Completions and Volumes of Polytopes\nKimberly Hadaway\nGraduate Student\nIowa State University \nParking functions correspond with preferences of n cars which enter sequentially to park on a one-way street where (1) each car parks in the first available spot greater than or equal to its preference and (2) all cars successfully park. We generalize parking functions to parking completions: Here\, we are given that some cars have already parked in a set of spots\, which are indexed in a vector t. We then consider a preference vector c\, where len(t)+len(c)=n. If all cars can park\, we say that c is a parking completion. Adeniran\, et al. (2020) state an open problem which connects the number of parking completions to the volumes of Pitman-Stanley polytopes by explicit computation on small values of n. In this talk\, we provide a partial solution to this open problem by exploring edge cases.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Levi Montee
DESCRIPTION:Partitioning the Natural Numbers with Fibonacci-like Sequences\nLevi Montee\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nFamously seen in the displacement of seeds in a sunflower\, the branching of tree limbs or enumerating results in a variety of combinatorics problems\, the Fibonacci sequence has become one of the most recognizable sequences in mathematics. Beginning f0 = 0\, f1 = 1\, and continuing fn+1 = fn + fn-1\, this simple recurrence relation has been well studied for centuries. In this talk\, we will investigate sequences determined by the same recurrence relation given alternative starting points. We attempt to classify these sequences\, see which familiar Fibonacci properties are kept intact\, and examine when two such sequences share terms. Ultimately\, we aim to find a set of disjoint Fibonacci-like sequences that partition the natural numbers\, and see how these might be useful in solving particular logic games/puzzles.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Noah Mitchell\, Levi Montee\, and Harrison Piehowski
DESCRIPTION:The RSA Algorithm: Demonstration and Proofs\nNoah Mitchell\, Levi Montee\, and Harrison Piehowski\nGraduate Students\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nIn this talk\, we will explore the RSA algorithm\, one of the most widely used cryptographic systems. Starting with a brief history of its development by Ron Rivest\, Adi Shamir\, and Leonard Adleman in the late 1970s\, we will then demonstrate RSA’s effectiveness through practical examples and mathematical proofs. Our presentation will include an interactive role-play\, where two presenters use RSA to securely send messages\, while a third attempts to decrypt them without the private key\, showcasing RSA’s robustness in real-world scenarios.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Jackson Thurmond
DESCRIPTION:Generalized Linear Model Approach to the Prediction of the Outcome of Mixed Martial Arts Fights\nJackson Thurmond\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nMixed martial arts is a complex combat sport that encompasses striking\, grappling and submissions. In a sport where fights can be won by finishing a fight or go to decision there is a multitude of factors that can influence the outcome of a fight. In the Ultimate Fighting Championship a fighter is either designated the red or blue corner. Since mixed martial arts is a sport in which two competitors fight\, and one is declared a winner\, the result of a fight can be thought of a binary classification problem. In an effort to determine which factors are statistically significant to a fight\, a generalized linear model approach was selected.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Ariel Minakawa and Gavin Sayrs
DESCRIPTION:Stirling Permutations to Increasing Plane Trees and Back\nAriel Minakawa and Gavin Sayrs\nUndergraduate Students\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nA Stirling permutation is a permutation on the multiset {1\,1\, 2\, 2\, 3\, 3\, … \,n\, n} such that any numbers appearing between repeated values of i must be greater than i. Recall that a plane tree is a tree drawn on a plane with no edges crossing. An increasing plane tree is a plane tree where each vertex is labeled from 1 to n\, with labels increasing away from the root. Our main result establishes a bijection from Stirling permutations to its respective increasing plain tree.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Matt McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Fractal Geometry and Non-Integer Dimensions\nMatt McClinton\nPhD Graduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nPopularized in the 1980s\, fractals have become something of a household name. These fractal sets often demonstrate peculiar topological properties. One such property is the notion of a fractal dimension. Sets such as the Cantor set\, Sierpinski Gasket (SG)\, and the von Koch curve are traditionally visualized in 2D images. However\, these sets actually exist in-between dimensions 1 and 2! \nCertain fractals can be built using what is known as an Iterated Function System (IFS)\, and there is a powerful theorem stating that having an IFS representation of a fractal provides a simple means of determining the fractal dimension. I will begin by stating the IFS that generates the Sierpinski Gasket. There are two transformations on the Gasket to which creates the Level-n Stretched Sierpinski Gasket (SSG^n). I will demonstrate how one constructs the IFS for SSG^n\, as well as provide the highlights to a theorem in which I prove the fractal dimension of SSG^n.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Eric Redmon
DESCRIPTION:Finite State Machines and Bounded Permutations\nEric Redmon\nGraduate Student\nMarquette University \nWe define a k-bounded permutation π of length n to be a permutation such that for each pair of adjacent entries $\pi$ and $\pi(i + 1)$ for $i = 1\, 2\, 3\, . . . \, n − 1$ we have $|\pi(i) − \pi(i + 1)| \leq k$. Previous work has shown that the generating function for this family of permutations is rational\, and has computed generating functions for small values of $k$. In this talk\, we will discuss the nature of finite state machines and how we can leverage the insertion encoding devised by Albert\, Linton\, and Ruškuc to build a finite state machine that we can use to find generating functions for larger values of $k$.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kim Harry
DESCRIPTION:A q-analog of Kostant’s Weight Multiplicity Formula and a Product of Fibonacci Numbers\nKim Harry\nPhD Graduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nUsing Kostant’s weight multiplicity formula\, we describe and enumerate the terms contributing a nonzero value to the multiplicity of a positive root µ in the adjoint representation of sl_{r+1}(C)\, which we denote L(˜α)\, where ˜α is the highest root of sl_{r+1}(C). We prove that the number of terms contributing a nonzero value to the multiplicity of the positive root µ = α_i + α_i+1 + · · · + α_j with 1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ r in L(˜α) is given by the product F_i · F_(r−j+1)\, where F_n is the nth Fibonacci number. Using this result\, we show that the q-multiplicity of the positive root µ = α_i + α_i+1 + · · · + α_j with 1 ≤ i ≤ j ≤ r in the representation L(˜α) is precisely q^{r−h(µ)}\, where h(µ) = j − i + 1 is the height of the positive root µ. Setting q = 1 recovers the known result that the multiplicity of a positive root in the adjoint representation of sl_{r+1}(C).

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Gregory Mwamba
DESCRIPTION:Blowup of the Nonlinear Klein-Gordon Equation in FLRW Spacetimes\nGregory Mwamba\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of California – Merced \nThe nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations are a class of important evolution equations that describe the movement of spinless relativistic particles\, which can lend understanding in many physical applications. In this talk we will demonstrate a sufficient condition for blowup of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation\, with arbitrarily positive initial energy in Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker spacetimes. This is accomplished using an established concavity method that has been employed for similar PDEs in Minkowski space. This proof relies on the energy inequality associated with this equation. \nThis talk will be online at the following zoom link: https://wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/j/94983351854 and will also be streamed in EMS E495.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kelsey Brouwer
DESCRIPTION:Combinatorial Models for Some Generalized McMullen Maps in the Case of Two Bounded Critical Orbits\nKelsey Brouwer\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nThe family of generalized McMullen maps R(z)= z^n + b + a/z^n has two independent critical orbits. We consider the case in which one critical value lies in the immediate basin of an attracting cycle and the other critical value eventually lands in that immediate basin. Computer-generated images of the dynamical plane suggest the presence of both baby quadratic Julia sets and some sets which appear to be modifications of those. We present combinatorial models of the dynamics which help to explain this phenomena.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Jillian Cervantes
DESCRIPTION:(t\,r) Broadcast Domination of the Truncated Square Tiling Graph\nJillian Cervantes\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nThis talk will introduce graph domination theory and a generalization called (t\,r) broadcast domination. We study a family of graphs that arise as a finite subgraph of the truncated square tiling\, which utilizes regular squares and octagons to tile the Euclidean plane. For positive integers m and n\, we let Hm\,n be the graph consisting of m rows of n octagons (cycle graph on 8 vertices). For all t ≥ 2\, we provide lower and upper bounds for the (t\, 1) broadcast domination number for Hm\,n for all m\, n ≥ 1. We give exact (2\, 1) broadcast domination numbers for Hm\,n when (m\, n) ∈ {(1\, 1)\, (1\, 2)\, (1\, 3)\, (1\, 4)\, (2\, 2)}. We also consider the infinite truncated square tiling\, and we provide constructions of infinite (t\, r) broadcasts for (t\, r) ∈ {(2\, 1)\, (2\, 2)\, (3\, 1)\, (3\, 2)\, (3\, 3)\, (4\, 1)}. Using these constructions we give upper bounds on the density of these broadcasts i.e.\, the proportion of vertices needed to (t\, r) broadcast dominate this infinite graph. We end with some directions for future study

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Alexander Moon
DESCRIPTION:Kohnert Properties of Northeast Diagrams\nAlexander Moon\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nKohnert polynomials and posets are combinatorial objects with deep representation theoretic meaning\, generalizing both Schubert polynomials and Demazure characters\, i.e.\, key polynomials. In this talk I will explore what Kohnert posets and polynomials are in general\, then I will discuss some recent results centering on the Kohnert properties of “northeast” diagrams. I will present some conditions for the boundedness and rankedness of a “northeast” Kohnert poset and present a surprising connection between certain minimal elements and key diagrams. There will be a worksheet. This is a joint work with Aram Bingham\, Beth Anne Castellano\, Kimberly Hadaway\, Reuven Hodges\, Yichen Ma\, and Kyle Salois that originated at this year’s GRWC.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Joe Paulson
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to (Partial) Z-Boundaries\nJoe Paulson\nPhD Graduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nIn this talk\, I’ll share an abridged story of Z-boundaries and their utility in group theory. Throughout\, we’ll revisit some main characters (compactifications\, homotopy groups\, group actions) and introduce some new ones (group boundaries\, shape invariance). As our story seemingly resolves\, we’ll adapt and refocus on a theory of partial Z-boundaries (ie. Z_n-boundaries) and identify some preliminary results.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Melissa Beerbower
DESCRIPTION:On the Lucky Sets of Fubini Rankings\nMelissa Beerbower\nLoyola University Chicago \nRecall that Fubini rankings of length n are rankings of n competitors allowing for ties. We can say that the number of rankings\, k\, with k less than or equal to n\, is equal to the number of lucky competitors. A lucky competitor is the first to attain its rank. We enumerate Fubini rankings recursively through fixed sets of lucky competitors. Also recall that unit Fubini rankings are Fubini rankings with at most two competitors for each rank. We enumerate unit Fubini rankings through fixed lucky sets. Our enumerations explain twin coefficients for minimum powers in the lucky polynomial of ell-interval Fubini rankings.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Alex Moon
DESCRIPTION:Counting Orbits of Defective Parking Functions\nAlex Moon\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nParking functions are well-studied objects in combinatorics and representation theory which constitute tuples of preferred parking spots for cars under a linear parking scheme. This talk will generalize to defective parking functions. I will enumerate the orbits of defective parking functions under the action of the symmetric group by characterizing them as nondecreasing tuples and sketching a bijection to standard nondecreasing parking functions. I will also introduce the concept of the conjugate of a nondecreasing parking function in order to simplify the case where the number of cars and spots differ. \nThis is a joint with Pamela E. Harris\, Aaron Ortiz\, Lauren J. Quesada\, Cynthia Marie Rivera Sánchez\, and Dwight A. Williams II.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Matt McClinton
DESCRIPTION:Harmonize your Fractals\nMatt McClinton\nGraduate Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nThe Sierpinski Gasket (SG) is a known fractal object. A simple observation shows that SG is path connected. Unfortunately\, the infinitely jagged structure of the Gasket prevents these paths from being differentiable. If only there existed a means of smoothing out SG into an object where continuous and differentiable paths existed between pairs of points. As a matter of fact there is! \nI will demonstrate the technique known as “minimizing the graph energy” as described in the late Robert Strichartz’s book “Differential Equations on Fractals”. This technique involves finding the solution to a system of equations where the solution produces a graph that has differentiable paths\, and even better satisfies the Laplacian. Using a homeomorphic mapping defined by Jun Kigami in 1989\, by finding the graph energy minimizing values on level sets of SG\, we produce a fractal object known as the Harmonic Sierpinski Gasket (HSG). \nThis talk is intended for those that are interested in analysis\, algebra\, combinatorics\, topology\, fractal geometry\, and/or graph theory. Any necessary background information will be provided during the talk\, and I will end with some open problems.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Kimberly Hadaway
DESCRIPTION:On Combinatorial Problems of Generalized Parking Functions\nKimberly Hadaway\nPhD Student\nIowa State University \nIn this talk\, we study combinatorial problems related to generalized parking functions. Our work is motivated by two different research questions posed to us by Dr. Ken Fan and Dr. Shanise Walker. First\, we reframe Dr. Fan’s probabilistic question in terms of defective parking functions\, which enumerate the number of cars unable to park in the classical parking function problem\, thereby providing a partial answer to his question. Second\, we answer Dr. Walker’s question establishing a bijection between unit interval parking functions and the Fubini rankings\, which get their name as they are enumerated by the Fubini numbers.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Daniel Quigley
DESCRIPTION:A Primer on the Mathematics of Artificial Neural Networks\nDaniel Quigley\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee \nArtificial neural networks (ANNs\, or\, simply\, neural networks) are ubiquitous\, not least of all in the context of modern machine learning. This presentation is a primer on the mathematics that underlie the mechanics of relatively simple feedforward ANNs. A sketch of the proof for the universal approximation theorem is given\, which states that a (fully connected) ANN with at least one hidden layer (of a sufficient number of neurons)\, together with a non-linear activation function\, can approximate any continuous function on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy. This presentation contributes to the movement for providing mathematical explanations and descriptions of ANNs\, favoring a functional analytical and well-founded framework at the expense of algorithmic aspects of deep learning otherwise concerned with identifying the most suitable deep ANNs for specific applications.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Dorian Smith
DESCRIPTION:On the Lucky and Displacement Statistics of Stirling Permutations\nDorian Smith\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Minnesota Twin Cities \nStirling permutations are parking functions. We investigate two parking function statistics in the context of these objects: lucky cars and displacement. Among our results\, we consider two extreme cases: extremely lucky Stirling permutations (those with maximally many lucky cars) and extremely unlucky Stirling permutations (those with exactly one lucky car). We show that the number of extremely lucky Stirling permutations of order n is the Catalan number\, and the number of extremely unlucky Stirling permutations is (n−1)!. \nThis is a joint work with Laura Colmenarejo\, Aleyah Dawkins\, Jennifer Elder\, Pamela E. Harris\, Kimberly J.Harry\, Selvi Kara\, and Bridget Eileen Tenner.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Dorian Smith
DESCRIPTION:Sandpile Group For Cones Over Trees\nDorian Smith\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Minnesota Twin Cities \nThe sandpile group $K(G)$ of a graph $G$ is a finite abelian group\, isomorphic to the cokernel of the reduced graph Laplacian of $G.$ We study $K(G)$ when $G = Cone(T)$. The graph $Cone(T)$ is obtained from a tree $T$ on $n$ vertices by attaching a new cone vertex attached to all other vertices. For two such families of graphs\, we will describe $K(G)$ exactly: the fan graphs $Cone(P_n)$ where $P_n$ is a path\, and the thagomizer graph $Cone(S_n)$ where $S_n$ is the star-shaped tree. The motivation is that these two families turn out to be extreme cases among $Cone(T)$ for all trees $T$ on $n$ vertices.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Mr. Joakim Jakovleski
DESCRIPTION:Representations of the Natural Numbers Using Box Arrangements\nMr. Joakim Jakovleski\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nNatural numbers can be presented as sums of numbers in boxes\, where we are subject to certain rules about how we generate the boxes and the numbers in them. In this talk\, we will explore this presentation and investigate the properties of boxes of different sizes. We will center on a simplified way to obtain all numbers in all boxes using a certain subset of them\, and use it to ultimately produce a formula for these numbers. We then manage to provide some generalizations\, and pave the field for potential future work.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Mr. Joe Paulson
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Topological Combinatorics\nMr. Joe Paulson\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nWith the prominence of topology and combinatorics at UWM\, we’ll explore the intersection of these fields. This relatively new field originated with the solving of Kneser’s conjecture via Lovasz’s use of topological methods. We’ll explore Lovasz’s solution and other solutions to famous problems such as the Necklace problem and the Inscribed Rectangle.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Colloquium: Mrs. Kelsey Brouwer
DESCRIPTION:Julia Sets in Parameter Space for the Generalized McMullen Map\nMrs. Kelsey Brouwer\nPhD Student\nUniversity of Wisconsin – Milwaukee \nWe will begin by introducing the field of complex dynamics and explaining the two types of pictures that dynamicists are interested in\, namely Julia sets and parameter spaces. Next\, we’ll introduce the generalized McMullen map and share some results about its Julia sets and parameter spaces. Finally\, we will demonstrate an interesting connection between McMullen parameter space and quadratic Julia sets and discuss some potential techniques for explaining and documenting this phenomenon. A software demonstration may follow.
