Atomicity and the Ascending Chain Condition on Principal Ideals
Felix Gotti, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Date: Wednesday, February 22, 5:00 pm. Abstract An integral domain R is atomic if each nonzero nonunit of R factors into irreducibles. Also, an integral domain satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal ideals (ACCP) if every increasing sequence of principal ideals (under inclusion) becomes constant from one point…
Primary decompositions
Irena Swanson, Purdue University Date: Thursday, February 23, 10:30 am. Abstract Primary decompositions are a basic tool in commutative algebra, but they also arise in other contexts. In this talk I will discuss some connections with algebraic geometry, partial differential equations, algebraic statistics, and computational complexity. Determinants of n x n matrices can be computed…
Absorbing Ideals In Commutative Rings: A Survey
Ayman Badawi, American University of Sharjah Date: Friday, February 24, 11:00 am. Abstract Let R be a commutative ring with 1 ≠ 0, and I be a proper ideal of R. Then I is called a 2-absorbing ideal of R if whenever abc ∈ I for some a, b, c ∈ R, then ab ∈…

Embodied Cognition: What is it? How Does it Involve Mathematics?
Dr. Hortensia Soto – December 8, 2022, online Abstract Embodied cognition is a philosophy that claims that learning is body‐based. One might ask how that has anything to do with teaching and learning mathematics. In this talk, I will illustrate ways in which this lens can facilitate learning. I argue that most faculty probably already…
Ballistic Annihilation
Dr. Matthew Junge – December 6, 2022 – 10:30 am – FB Abstract In the late 20th century, statistical physicists introduced a chemical reaction model called ballistic annihilation. Particles are placed randomly throughout the real line and then proceed to move at random velocities. Collisions result in mutual annihilation. Many results were inferred by physicists,…

Enriched Hodge Structures
Dr. Deepam Patel – Noviembre 22 de 2022 – 10:30 am Abstract The Hodge conjecture is one of the central problems in Algebraic Geometry. The first part of this talk will serve as a general introduction to the Hodge conjecture. The conjecture says roughly that certain cohomology classes as `algebraic’ in the setting of smooth…
