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.

Schur--Weyl duality is a fundamental paradigm in representation theory relating representations of the general linear group to those of the symmetric group. We will discuss the classical case of Schur--Weyl duality and an analog for the unipotent upper triangular matrix group over a finite field. Then we will define supercharacter theory and how a particular supercharacter theory for the unipotent upper triangulars, within the context of this Schur--Weyl duality analog, lead to a class of modules called beach modules and a collection of projection-like maps in the centralizer algebra.
In this talk we use a toy problem to describe the probabilistic method. The toy problem is a non-adaptive group testing problem, which has well-developed theory. We will assume no knowledge of probability.
Drinking Problems: A fun application of the probabilistic method
In this talk, we will recall some things about Galois groups and look at the "Inverse Galois Problem", which asks which groups appear as Galois groups of polynomials over the rational numbers.
