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.

Some numbers are rational, a few more are algebraic, but most are transcendental. We will briefly cover some definitions, investigate some special cases of numbers, and finally look at some positive results in transcendental number theory.

The rational numbers admit an infinite family of distinct absolute value functions, apart from the normal one. Completing with respect to these absolute values leads to the fields of p-adic numbers for primes p. This talk will introduce these fields, focusing on their nature as bridges between characteristic 0 and p. We will discuss how Galois theory can be transported along this bridge, culminating in the definition of perfectoid fields and the tilting correspondence of Fontaine-Wintenberger and Scholze. This is intended to be a warm-up for the DeLong lectures being given by Prof. Bhargav Bhatt the following week.

The Weil conjectures, which are about counting solutions to polynomial equations over finite fields, drove a large amount of development of twentieth century mathematics and united ideas from complex analysis, number theory, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology. This talk will give an overview of the conjectures and attempt to sketch some of the key ideas behind their proof.

In this talk, we introduce an algebra of graphs that was formalized and motivated due to its alternative algebraic solution to the Longest Path Problem (LPP) and k-path problem (kPP) on Tree-like classes of graphs. Furthermore, we will provide a simplified statement of the algebraic conditions that solve LPP and kPP, displaying an improved algorithm to compute the solution for a given Tree-like graph. Additionally, we exhibit a categorification of the algebraic structure, in which we define a graph-valued metric, named Hom-completion graphs, to compare homomorphisms of graphs. Finally, we show how setting some invariants on these Hom-completion graphs constructs formal metrics that allow for more refined comparison of these homomorphisms.
