Aaron Abrams: Illustrating (with) configuration spaces A configuration space is a mathematical creation designed to capture all of the information about a system that has multiple potentially complicated and interacting parts. As a mathematician, it is easy to forget how clever, abstract, useful, and even ubiquitous this idea is. How can we illustrate these objects, and how can we use them in illustration? [No background with configuration spaces will be assumed.]

I'll talk about a research project, joint work with Tejas Kalelkar and Saul Schleimer, in which we used a number of different visualization techniques. A classical result says that any two triangulations of a three-manifold with the same number of vertices are connected to each other through a sequence of local combinatorial moves (namely, 2-3 and 3-2 moves). However, for some applications we need more from our triangulations - for example that all edges are essential. This means that you cannot deform any of the edges of the triangulation into a vertex. Is the subset of essential triangulations still connected by local moves? (Yes.) The proof is very visual, mostly involving the dual structure to a triangulation, which we call a foam. We discovered that real-life soap films attached to a suitable 3D printed frame will perform the local moves when the frame is flexed. With Sabetta Matsumoto, Saul and I are working on a YouTube video exploring soap films, and our results.

***Il n'est pas nécessaire de s'inscrire pour assister à l'exposé. Cependant l'amphithéâtre Hermitte a une capacité maximale de 150 places, l'accès se fera dans la limite des places disponibles.*** Mathematicians excel at abstraction; they articulate precise mathematical properties, construct abstract objects with these properties, and study them. In this pursuit, it can be extremely helpful to build special examples and understand them thoroughly-including through visualization. The presentation will feature examples of visualization useful in mathematical research, from the experience of the speaker and others. <img src="https://i0.wp.com/mathemalchemy.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/wavelet-mural-mathemalchemy-art-installation.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1" alt="drawing" style="width:100%;"/> Mathemalchemy (Brona Butler)

Born in 2007 at the Oberwolfach mathematical institute, they have always been focused on staying close to current mathematical research. In 2016 they became an independent NGO based in Berlin. IMAGINARY creates exhibits and exhibitions, organises workshops, and offers a sharing platform so that math exhibits can be shared and replicated worldwide. In this small workshop, after a brief presentation of IMAGINARY, we will help you create an account and upload some of your work onto the sharing platform.
