| Cofibration category of directed graphs for path homology |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 |
| Location: LOV 0107 |
Cofibration categories are categories equipped with designated classes of morphisms, called cofibrations and weak equivalences, satisfying certain properties which allow for the convenient constructio... More |

| Franquiz Caraballo-Alba (FSU) |
| Matroids: from Linear Independence to Hyperplane Arrangements |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 PM |
| Location: LOV 0107 |
Matroids are a combinatorial object generalizing the concept of linear independence in sets of vectors. In this talk we will develop the definition of a matroid, using the study of linearly independen... More |

| Franquiz Caraballo Alba (FSU) |
| Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
The Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (csm) class of a variety X is a generalization of the Chern class of the tangent bundle of X when X is possibly singular. In this talk, we will develop the intuition behi... More |

| Marcus Lawson (FSU) |
| Global p-Curvatures of Linear Recurrence Operators |
| Algebra Seminar/Candidacy Exam |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
Linear Recurrence Operators appear as objects of interest in the study differential equations, number theory, QFT and a variety of other areas. One property that we may look at is the p-Curvature. If... More |

| Maxime Ramzi (University of Copenhagen) |
| From Hochschild homology to traces and back |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: ZOOM |
Traces in symmetric monoidal categories are a generalization of the trace of a matrix, and they enjoy a number of pleasant properties reminiscent of the usual trace, such as cyclic invariance. In this... More |

| Brandon Story (FSU) |
| Multidegrees of Monomial Cremona Transformations |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
Multidegrees are an important sequence of natural numbers associated to a rational map of projective schemes that are closely related to Segre classes. In this talk, we will discuss how one may comput... More |

| Chris Kapulkin (UWO) |
| Calculus of fractions for higher categories |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
A central objective of (abstract) homotopy theory is to understand the localization of a category at a class of weak equivalences. While the localization is always known to exist, it is typically very... More |

| Paolo Aluffi (FSU) |
| An explicit generating function for the Betti numbers of the moduli space of stable, n-pointed rational curves |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
The variety $\overline\mathcal M_{0,n}$ parametrizes stable rational curves with n marked points. This is a central object in algebraic geometry, as the most studied and best understood moduli<... More |

| Milind Gunjal (FSU) |
| Introduction to Stable Homotopy Theory |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
In this talk, we will observe the phenomenon of stable homotopy groups of spheres, and we will try to generalize it for a bigger setting by defining spectra. We will also discuss some interesting prop... More |

| Abdullah Malik (FSU) |
| Simplicial Methods in Graph Machine Learning |
| PhD Defense |
| Time: 1:00PM |
| Location: Lov 204-A |
The Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm is a powerful test of graph isomorphism, and works by iteratively isolating clusters of nodes via a coloring scheme based on binary relationships. This refinement proces... More |

| Piotr Pstrągowski (Harvard) |
| The even filtration |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: ZOOM |
The even filtration, introduced by Hahn-Raksit-Wilson, is a canonical filtration attached to a commutative ring spectrum which measures its failure to be even. Despite its simple definition, the even ... More |

| Solving Third Order Linear Difference Equations in Terms of Second Order Equations |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
Classifying order 3 linear difference operators over C(x) that are solvable in terms of lower order difference operators. In this talk, I will focus on one of the cases of this classification and give... More |

| Rational torsion and reducibility for abelian varieties associated to newforms |
| Algebra Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 pm |
| Location: LOV 107 |
Let f be a newform and A its associated abelian variety. We have shown before that for certain primes r, if A is an optimal semistable elliptic curve with reducible torsion subgroup A[r], then A has r... More |
