Colloquium : Pengfei Guan, McGill
Thur, Feb 20 @ 4pm, McH 4130 Isoperimetric problems and geometric flows The classic isoperimetric problem is a problem of finding optimal relationship between area and perimeter– one can trace it back to Queen Dido. There are similar isoperimetric problems related to other geometric quantities, like total mean curvature, surface area, volume, etc. For these…

Conway’s Game of Life is Omniperiodic
UCSC undergrad contributes final piece to answer Mathematicians and the general public alike have been fascinated by the complexity generated by the apparently simple rule set of Conway’s Game of Life. Now a UCSC undergraduate has contributed to answering an intriguing question about the nature of the game, and how its rules sometimes produce endless…

Colloquium : Hannah Larson, UC Berkeley
Thurs, Jan 16 @ 4pm, McH 4130 Moduli Spaces of Curves The moduli space M_g of genus g curves (or Riemann surfaces) is a central object of study in algebraic geometry. Its cohomology is important in many fields. For example, the cohomology of M_g is the same as the cohomology of the mapping class group,…
