BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN PRODID:iCalendar-Ruby BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Lectures & Presentations DESCRIPTION:The Physics & Astronomy Colloquium Series presents Sergio Lopez -Permouth\, discussing "Collaborations" on Feb 9.\n\n \n\nAbstract: Let us consider the following game.\n\n \n\n1. Choose your two favorite operations on a set S (e.g. addition and multiplication of natural numbers\, or addit ion and subtraction of integers).\n\n2. Choose your favorite property (e.g. "associativity"\, or even "being a group").\n\n3. A new binary operation * on S is said to be a collaboration of your two chosen operations if it is such that\, for any pair (a\,b) of elements of S\, the outcome a*b is obtai ned\, in a deterministic way\, by applying one or the other of the two fixe d operations.\n\n4. The goal of the game is to produce collaborations that satisfy your chosen favorite property.\n\n\nThis talk will show outcomes of our recent experimentation playing the above game. The results we have obt ained include surprising results and potential applications (e.g. finding s et theoretic solutions for the Yang-Baxter equation.)\nEvery possible effor t will be made to keep prerequisites for this talk to a very minimum.
