Title: Critical groups of graphs.
Abstract: The critical group of a graph is an interesting isomorphic
invariant. It is a finite abelian group whose order is equal to the number
of spanning forests in the graph. The Smith normal form of the graph's
Laplacian determines the structure of its critical group. In this
presentation, we will consider a family of strongly regular graphs. We
will apply representation theory of groups of automorphisms to determine
the critical groups of graphs in this family

Title: Holomorphic mappings into the symmetric product of a Riemann surface.
Abstract: The symmetric product is an interesting and important
construction that is studied in Algebraic Geometry, Complex Geometry,
Topology and Theoretical Physics. The symmetric product of a complex
manifold is, in general, only a complex space. However, in the case of a
one-dimensional complex manifold (i.e., a Riemann surface), it turns out
that the symmetric product is always a complex manifold. The study of the
symmetric product of planar domains and Riemann surfaces has recently
become very important and popular.
In this talk, we present two of our recent contributions to this study.
The first work (joint with Divakaran, Bharali and Biswas) gives a precise
description of the space of proper holomorphic mappings from a product of
Riemann surfaces into the symmetric product of a bordered Riemann
surface. Our work extends the classical results of Remmert and Stein. Our
second result gives a Schwarz lemma for mappings from the unit disk into
the symmetric product of a Riemann surface. Our result holds for all
Riemann surfaces and yet our proof is simpler and more geometric than
earlier proved special cases where the underlying Riemann surface was the
unit disk or, more generally, a bounded planar domain. This simplification
was achieved by using the pluricomplex Green's function. We will also
highlight how the use of this function can simplify several well-know and
classical results.

Title: How to tell a tale of two tails?
Abstract: We study the extremes of branching random walks under the
assumption that underlying Galton-Watson tree has infinite progeny mean.
It is assumed that the displacements are either regularly varying or have
lighter tails. In the regularly varying case, it is shown that the point
process sequence of normalized extremes converges to a Poisson random
measure. In the lighter-tailed case, however, the behaviour is much more
subtle, and the scaling of the position of the rightmost particle in the
n-th generation depends on the family of stepsize distribution, not just
its parameter(s). In all of these cases, we discuss the convergence in
probability of the scaled maxima sequence. Our results and methodology are
applied to study the almost sure convergence in the context of cloud speed
for branching random walks with infinite progeny mean. The exact cloud
speed constants are calculated for regularly varying displacements and
also for stepsize distributions having a nice exponential decay.
This talk is based on a joint work with Souvik Ray (Stanford University),
Rajat Subhra Hazra (ISI Kolkata) and Philippe Soulier (Univ of Paris
Nanterre). We will first review the literature (mainly, the PhD thesis
work of Ayan Bhattacharya) and then talk about the current work. Special
care will be taken so that a significant portion of the talk remains
accessible to everyone.

Title: Equiangular lines in R^d.
Abstract: Suppose $0<\alpha<1$. The problem of determining the size of a
maximum set of lines (through the origin) in R^d s.t. the angle between
any two of them is arccos(\alpha) has been one of interest in
combinatorial geometry for a while now (since the mid 60s). Recently,
Yufei Zhao and some of his students settled this in a strong form. We will
see a proof of this result. The proof is a linear algebraic argument and
should be accessible to all grad students.

Title: Gubeladze's geometric proof of Anderson's conjecture (Lecture II).
Abstract: Let M be a finitely generated seminormal submonoid of the free
monoid \mathbb Z_+^n and let k be a field. Then Anderson conjectured that
all finitely generated projective modules over the monoid algebra k[M] is
free. He proved this in case n=2. Gubeladze proved this for all n using
the geometry of polytopes. In a series of 3 lectures, we will outline a
proof of this theorem.
