Overloading, which allows functions to exhibit different behaviors based on the types involved, is one of the most useful facilities of a typed programming language. In the Haskell programming language, this facility is provided by type classes. Type...

The distance matrix of a graph records the length of the shortest path between any two vertices. Graham and Pollak found that when the underlying graph is a tree, the determinant of the distance matrix satisfies a nice, simple formula. In particular...

The inhomogeneous multispecies PushTASEP is an interacting particle system with multiple species of particles on a finite ring where the hopping rates are site-dependent. (The homogeneous variant on Z is also known as the Hammersley–Aldous–Diaconis...

Reversible Knitting is a specialized branch of knitting focussed on creating fabric that looks beautiful on both sides, lies flat and doesn’t curl, and has a wonderful hand feel and texture. It is technically intriguing, creatively satisfying, and...

Tadao Oda conjectured that every smooth polytope, in any dimension, has the Integer Decomposition Property. Beck et al. previously showed that smooth polytopes which are both 3-dimensional and centrally symmetric have this property. We show this...

In this talk, I will introduce group-invariant quantum latin squares and their connection to quantum isomorphisms. There will be some representation theory and finally, we will see a method of constructing Cayley graphs that are quantum isomorphic...

After a brief introduction on the theory of p-adic groups complex representations, I will explain why tempered and generic Langlands parameters are open. I will further derive a number of consequences, in particular for the enhanced genericity...
