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.

What makes a function earn the title of a zeta function? We will start by looking at the Riemann zeta function, and then generalizations of it and see that if it walks like a zeta function and quacks like a zeta function, then its a zeta function
Tori are cool. Varieties are dope. Fans are… related somehow? Prepare to dive into the world of Toric Varieties, which are varieties with a torus embedded inside. We’ll see how lots of our favourite examples of varieties are actually toric varieties, and also how a Toric Variety can be defined from the combinatorial data of a fan (the type used in the 18th century on a hot day). I’ll define everything, but having taken AG1 or knowing what Spec(R) is for a ring R will be an advantage.
The legal standard set in Rucho v Common Cause puts the onus on the plaintiffs in a Voting Rights Act (VRA) case to demonstrate that a map is a racial rather than a partisan gerrymander in order for it to be struck down as unlawful. This means plaintiffs have to 'do the homework' of the defendants for them: they must produce a map that is at least as politically gerrymandered as the defendants drew, while achieving better racial representation outcomes. In this talk I will describe how Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are typically used to solve these problems, and use this opportunity to describe the underlying mathematics.
