The Graduate Student Seminar (GSS) is an opportunity for grad students to give general interest talks to an audience of other grad students in a low-pressure environment. GSS talks are typically 50 minutes long and accessible to a general mathematical audience. We encourage everybody to give a talk! Some ideas include existing talks from undergrad research, REUs, or a Masters program, practice for upcoming conference talks, educational talks about material you've been studying for your comprehensive exam, or just presentations on a recreational mathematical topic you know a lot about.

In this talk, we will see how far we can take the question in the title. We will start with some simpler results, and move on to the prime number theorem, discussing error terms and conjectures, and continue this to primes in arithmetic progression. To finish, we will immerse ourselves in everyone’s favorite sporting event, prime number races.
How many prime numbers are there really?

A cubic surface is defined to be a surface that is defined as a vanishing set of cubic polynomials. In 1849, Cayley and Salmon showed that there are exactly 27 lines on a smooth cubic surface. Through the introduction of new tools in algebraic geometry in the 20th century, a more streamlined proof has been made. Namely, by introducing linear systems and blow-ups, this talk will showcase how we can get these 27 lines.

A moduli space is a geometric space whose points parametrize some collection of geometric spaces. It is a classic result that we can construct a moduli space for 1-dimensional complex tori as the quotient . We will review this construction and discuss how to repackage it in the language of cohomology. Equipped with this new way of viewing the moduli of complex tori, we will give a rough outline of how one might be able to use Hodge theory to construct a moduli space in some more general situations. To aid in your understanding, donuts will be provided.

What do the trace of a matrix, the cycle type of a permutation, and the Euler characteristic of a CW complex have in common? In this talk I will investigate the key categorical properties of the trace of a matrix and show how we can generalize this idea to talk about 'traces' in other contexts.
