  Mathematics Colloquium Series

  2:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Dr. Krystal Taylor, The Ohio State University
  Title: “Fractals and the Buffon Circle Problem”

  Abstract: Fractal sets arise naturally when classical notions of length, area, and smoothness are no longer adequate. A central theme in geometric measure theory is to understand how the dimension and geometry of a fractal set are reflected in its projections. Even some of the simplest questions of this type lead to surprisingly difficult problems connecting geometric measure theory with harmonic analysis, combinatorics, and number theory.

   

  One classical example is the Favard length problem, also known as Buffon's needle problem. Given a planar set, its Favard length is the average length of its orthogonal projections. A theorem of Besicovitch implies that a purely unrectifiable set of finite length has Favard length zero. For self-similar sets obtained as limits of finite Cantor constructions, however, a much more quantitative question remains: how quickly does the Favard length of the finite approximations tend to zero? Despite the simple formulation, determining the correct decay rate remains a major open problem.

   

  I will describe the geometry behind the classical problem, some of the main ideas that have led to progress, and what happens when linear projections are replaced by nonlinear families. This leads naturally to a nonlinear analogue of Buffon's needle problem—a Buffon circle problem—and to new questions about unions of circles, nonlinear projections, and the geometry of fractal sets. I will discuss recent results in this direction and the new phenomena that appear when lines are replaced by curves.

   

  The KSU Mathematics Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in researchers from other universities to present results on all areas of mathematics. The talks are targeted at general audiences of students and professors. Faculty and students are welcome to the Department of Mathematics for tea before the lecture from 2:00 to 2:30 pm.

  Discrete Mathematics Seminar

  2:00pm

  at Joe Mack Wilson Student Center, A 215

  Speaker: Zoe Wellner, Arizona State
  Title: “The topology connecting graph colorings, graph matchings, and discrete geometry”
  Abstract: The classical Borsuk--Ulam theorem states that for any continuous map from the sphere to Euclidean space, $f\colon S^d\to \mathbb{R}^d$, there is a pair of antipodal points that are identified, so $f(x)=f(-x)$. Through a generalization of this theorem, we provide a new proof of topological Hall's theorem that relates directly to chromatic number bounds and Radon's theorem in discrete geometry. By tying these results together, we can provide more structural insights to the combinatorial structures.

   

  The Discrete Math Seminar (DMS) is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  Math Talks Seminar Series

  1:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 120

  Speaker: Dr. Maheshan Ekanayaka, Kennesaw State University
  Title: "Stereographic Projection and Applications"
  Abstract: In mathematics, Stereographic Projection is a perspective projection that maps 3D objects onto 2D planes, specifically applied to the sphere. By selecting a fixed point on the sphere, known as pole, one can project all other points onto plane through this fixed point. The plane onto which all the points are projected is perpendicular to the diameter passing through the fixed point. Excluding the pole, this projection is a smooth conformal (angle-preserving) function that maps circle on the sphere to circles or lines on the plane. It is believed that ancient Greek used this projection to map the celestial sphere onto the plane so that motions of the stars could be analyzed using the plane geometry. This presentation explores the process of calculating Cartesian coordinates on the plane from the coordinates of a sphere, and vice versa. The discussion begins with the derivation of the Stereographic Projection of the unit circle (S¹) onto the real line using a parametric line equation. Building on this, the formula for the Stereographic Projection of the unit sphere (S²) onto the complex plane is derived. Stereographic Projection finds applications in Cartography, particularly creating maps in navigating Earth due to its angle preserving property. Moreover, it is utilized in Crystallography, Geology, even in the Photography.

  Speaker: Dr. Viktor Nemykin, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
  Title: "Creating new types of electron-deficient aza-BODIPY like chromophores: MB-DIPYs, BOPHYs, BODIPYs, and aza- DIPY-isoindigo hybrids​​​​​​​"
  Abstract: Of two new classes of aza-BODIPY like chromophore systems: (i) electron-deficient MB-DIPY chromophores and (ii) hybrid aza-DIIPY-isoindigo systems. Two series of chromophores and their metal complexes were characterized by UV-Vis-NIR, NMR, HRMS, and X-ray crystallography, while their redox properties were investigated by electrochemical and spectro-electrochemical methods as well as by the chemical reduction approach. Single- and double-electron reduced forms of MB-DIPYs were characterized by UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. The photophysical properties of new systems were investigated using steady-state fluorescence and transient absorption spectroscopy. The experimental electronic, spectroscopic, and geometric parameters of the MB-DIPYs and hybrid aza-DIPY-isoindigo chromophores were correlated with their electronic structures elucidated by DFT and TDDFT calculations.

   

  The Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series covers a broad range of fields in the Chemical and Biochemical Sciences. In past seminars, scientists from Academia, Government, and Industry have presented their most recent discoveries and contributions in their respective areas. This Seminar Series offers students and faculty the opportunity to interact directly with other leaders in their specializations and to gain a good overview of the entire range of fields in Chemistry and Biochemistry.

To be granted access to the live Q&A session, interested attendees should email Dr. Todd Pierson. The live Q&A session will be held each Thursday at 9:35 AM.

  Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series

  12:40pm

  at Clendenin Building, CL 2010

  Speaker: Dr. Sam Brown, Georgia Institute of Technology
  Title: “TBA”

  The Molecular Biosciences Interest Group (MBIG) seminar series highlights work done on a broad range of science, such as neurodevelopment, gene regulation, and cancer, by scientists using biological approaches that utilize biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and genetics. Guest speakers come from local, regional, and national universities to share their research work. The MBIG seminar will take place in person on Fridays from 12:40 to 1:35 pm in the Clendenin Building, room CL 2010. All faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to attend.

  Physics Colloquium

  3:00pm

  at Joe Mack Wilson Student Center, A 216 (Marietta Campus)

  Speaker: Dr. Afroditi Papadopoulou, Georgia Institute of Technology
  Title: "The elusive world of neutrino interactions"
  Abstract: Currently running and forthcoming precision neutrino oscillation experiments aim to unambiguously determine the neutrino mass ordering, the charge-parity violating phase in the lepton sector and the possible existence of Physics Beyond the Standard Model. To have an understanding of all the effects necessary for the success of these experiments, such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), neutrino-nucleus interactions must be modeled in unprecedented detail. My research program takes a significant step towards this high-precision measurement era with a number of experiments. Across all of them, cross sections are reported using neutrino-nucleus and hadron-nucleus data sets from a suite of liquid argon time projection chamber detectors located at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and at CERN. These measurements are used to provide the essential interaction constraints that will enable discovery physics with DUNE.

   

  Light refreshments will be served.
