Special Colloquium Talk

Topology from the Quantum Computation Viewpoint

Tuesday, 11/11/2014, 4:10pm - 11:59pm

Speaker: Uwe Kaiser (Boise State University)

Abstract: The talk will give an elementary introduction into the models of classical respectively quantum computation as information processing by classical logic gates respectively quantum gates.
Quantum information processing is distinguished by interference and entanglement in informationally isolated systems. These properties give rise to the well known "quantum weirdness". I will briefly

colloquium

Knot groups and discreteness conditions

Friday, 11/7/2014, 6:00pm - 11:59pm

Speaker: Andrei Vesnin (Novosibirsk)

Abstract: There are various discreteness conditions for subgroups of PSL(2,C) acting on a hyperbolic 3-space. Most of conditions are related either to algebraic structure of a group or to its geometric action. It was shown by T. Jorgensen that a subgroup of PSL(2,C) is discrete if and only if any its 2-generated subgroup is discrete. Some of necessary conditions for 2-generated groups, obtained by T. Jorgensen, F.

Graduate Student Seminar

Torsion of a finite quasigroup quandle is annihilated by its order

Monday, 11/3/2014, 7:30pm - 11:59pm

Speaker: Seung Yeop Yang

Title: Torsion of a finite quasigroup quandle is annihilated by its order,

Abstract: Niebrzydowski and Przytycki proved that the torsion subgroup of $H_{n}^{Q}(T(\mathbb(Z)_{3}))$ is annihilated by $3$, for $n > 1$, and Nosaka generalized this result, p annihilates the torsion of $H_{n}^{Q}(T(\mathbb(Z)_{p}))$ when $p$ is odd.

Complex Network Analysis using Mathematica

Tuesday, 10/14/2014, 3:10pm - 11:59pm

Speaker: Chenghang Du, GW

Abstract: This is a hands-on workshop aimed at undergraduate students and other interested audience. I will walk you through some examples of using Mathematica for complex network analysis. I will also outline a few potential projects, including collaboration network, Boolean dynamics, social network, and time series analysis. Students are welcomed to bring laptop to the workshop.
