Discrete Math Seminar (DMS)2:10pmat Mathematics Building, D-224Speaker: Dr. Mark Skandera, Lehigh University
Title: “Hecke algebra character evaluation and graph coloring”
Abstract: If $w$ in the symmetric group $S_n$ avoids the patterns $3412$ and $4231$, then we may graphically represent the Kazhdan-Lusztig basis element $\widetilde C_w(1) \in \mathbb Z[S_n]$ by a poset $P = P(w)$ or a graph $G = G(w)$. We may then compute the evaluations of certain $Z[S_n]$-characters at $\widetilde C_w(1)$ by decomposing $P$ into chains or by coloring $G$.These results hold also for a certain q-deformation $H_n(q)$ of $Z[S_n]$ called the Hecke algebra. It, too, has a Kazhdan-Lusztig basis whose elements $\widetilde C_w(q)$ may be represented by the poset and graph above. We will show how to use the same chain decompositions and colorings above to evaluate $H_n(q)$-characters at $\widetilde C_w(q)$.
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.

Discrete Math Seminar (DMS)2:10pmSpeaker: Dr. Ognian Trifonov, University of South Carolina
Title: “Extreme covering systems”
Abstract: A distinct covering system is a finite set of congruences with moduli distinct positive integers, such that every integer satisfies at least one of the congruences. The use of distinct covering systems in number theory was introduced by Paul Erdos in the 1950s.In the first part of the talk we consider two problems. Problem 1: If the least modulus m of a distinct covering system is fixed, how small can be its largest modulus? Problem 2: If the least modulus m of a distinct covering system is fixed, how small can be the least common multiple of all moduli?
In 1971, Krukenberg solved Problem 1 when m=2 and m=3 and Problem 2 when m=2. In a joint work with Jack Dalton we extended Krukenburg's work to the cases m=4 in Problem 1 and m=3 and m=4 in Problem 2.
In the second part of the talk we discuss the distortion method introduced by Balister, Bollobas, Morris, Sahasrabudhe, and Tiba, which allowed them to show that the least modulus of any distinct covering system does not exceed $616000$ . We will consider several applications of the method and will finish with a number of open problems.

Title: “Mathematical Models and Analyses of Environmental Temperature on Dengue Fever Transmission”Abstract: Half the world’s population, about 4 billion people, live in areas with a risk of dengue infection, a mosquito-borne disease, with further increased public health concerns due to the growing spatial spread of the diseases. The environmental temperature plays a major role in the mosquito life cycle as well as the mosquito-human-mosquito dengue transmission cycle. In this talk, I will present mathematical models to study the effects of environmental temperature on mosquito population and dengue transmission. First, we use our periodic dynamical system models to explore how seasonal and diurnal environmental temperature variations affect mosquito survival and dengue persistence. Using newly formulated mosquito reproduction numbers and infection invasion threshold, we performed extensive analyses on the global threshold dynamics to establish the environmental conditions for mosquito survival and dengue persistence. Second, we use the global dynamical analysis of our PDE-based models to determine the role of spatial heterogeneity of environmental temperature on the spread of mosquitoes and dengue. Our results provide novel insights into the theoretical understanding of the impact of climate, which can be beneficial for controlling mosquito vectors and dengue spread.

Title: “Mathematical Models of HIV Infections in the Brain: Implications to Ideal Antiretroviral Therapy”
Abstract: The brain is a critical reservoir of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), causing viral persistence under antiretroviral therapy, mainly because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) poses an obstacle to the entry of antiretroviral drugs into the brain. The presence of HIV in the brain often leads to HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND), such as encephalitis and early-onset dementia. In this talk, I will present novel mathematical models describing virus dynamics in the brain. We use experimental data from SIV-infected macaques to identify key model parameters related to brain infection, including transfer across BBB. We also extend our model by including the effects of antiretroviral therapy and perform a thorough analysis to identify the ideal treatment protocol for HIV control in the brain. Our models predict that the brain can be a vital reservoir causing long-term virus persistence, and the choice of drugs may play a critical role in mitigating HIV in the brain. We present our results through a public user-friendly dashboard, which the health care providers can use to identify the choice of drugs for the ideal treatment protocols. Furthermore, I will discuss the inter-compartmental correlation between HIV RNA data measured at different brain compartments of SIV-infected macaques and use these correlations to develop metapopulation models of HIV distributions within the brain compartments.
This seminar will be held in person and virtually via Zoom.

Title: “First Digit Probability and Benford's Law”
Abstract: The following work is written in easy language for college level students. It shows how the first digit probabilities of a group of continuous real-valued functions can be calculated. Thus, examples explaining how the probabilities are related to specific real-life situations, as well as the summary for all basic algebraic functions, were brought to the reader’s attention. Besides, the Benford’s formula was derived with no use of any additional guiding sources. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis of a group of certain discrete functions was performed by approximating the functions to the above-mentioned continuous ones, taking limits, and other methods. The work can be applied for calculating the first digit probabilities of more advanced functions as well while using the same approach. Furthermore, the technique can be useful while dealing with a large set of highly approximate numbers and a conclusion about their nature needs to be made.The Department of Mathematics Math Talks Seminar Series is open to all KSU faculty, students, and invited visitors to present any math or math-related topic.

Chemistry and Biochemistry Departmental Seminar Series12:30pmat Clendenin Building, CL 1009Speaker: Dr. Sharani Roy, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Title: “Understanding the adsorption and reactivity of subsurface oxygen within a silver surface”Abstract: Akin to the pressure gap between laboratory surface-science experiments performed under ultrahigh vacuum and industrial surface chemistry conducted under high gas pressures, theoretical models of gas-surface interactions are often developed for low gas concentrations yet applied to surface phenomena that occur under high gas concentrations. The primary reason for this discrepancy is the steep cost of computing chemical properties at high surface concentrations (or coverages) of the gas using electronic structure methods. To address this challenge and to study the percolation of gases just beneath the surface, i.e., into the subsurface, at high coverages, we have developed lattice-gas adsorption models that include surface as well as subsurface sites in a crystalline solid and are fully parameterized using density functional theory (DFT). We have applied the models to study the adsorption of atomic oxygen on the Ag(111) surface, first as functions of coverage and temperature using canonical Monte Carlo simulations, and next as functions of pressure and temperature using grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The simulations show the conditions under which subsurface adsorption occurs and provide insight into how subsurface adsorbates might participate in catalytic partial oxidation on silver surfaces. Overall, the lattice-gas adsorption model offers a simple and insightful theoretical framework to explore the competition between surface and subsurface adsorption in gas-surface systems.
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.
This seminar will take place in person.
