Hyperbolicity in Cube complexes: an Introduction to CAT(0) Geometry

Mathematics Department Seminar

Mathematics majors Natlie Dodson, Jack Klawitter and Seamus Turco will discuss summer research projects. All are welcome!

Presentation by Pamela Pyzza, Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Kenyon College. Olfaction, or the sense of smell, is arguably the most primitive sense, and thus the mechanisms by which odors are detected and identified are shared across many animals, from insects to mammals. We formulate a mathematical model to describe these mechanisms by considering the structure and behavior of individual neurons, then we analyze the activity generated by a network of these neurons.

Mathematicians model the sound an object makes by its spectrum, a collection of numbers. “Hearing shapes” means reconstructing geometric properties from the spectrum. Famously posed as “Can you hear the shape of a drum?” spectral geometry asks which properties of shape can be “heard,” i.e. determined by its spectrum.
