SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium - Dynamics on Character Varieties over Finite Fields
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cigole Thomas\, Bates College \nAbstract: Character varieties arise as spaces that parametrize group homomorphisms from a finitely presented group 螕 into an 鈥渘ice鈥� algebraic group G\, up to a natural notion of equivalence. In this talk\, we explore these spaces by studying their points over finite fields Fq and examining how symmetries of the group 螕\, encoded by its outer automorphism group Out(螕)\, act on them.\nWe introduce a natural stratification of the space and count the number of points in each stratum\, using these counts to gain insight into the asymptotic behavior (when q goes to 鈭�) of the action as the size of the field grows. In particular\, we consider the case where 螕 = Zr and G = SL3(C). \nThe talk will be self-contained and aimed at a broad audience\, with the necessary background developed along the way.

In this seminar\, I will\npresent our recent work on two such efforts: (1) exploring new ways of creating infection-resistant\nmaterials for healthcare that remove the need for antibiotics and (2) leveraging industrial\nmass-manufacturing capacity to create large-scale surfaces with functionality such as sensing. In\nour work on infection-resistant materials\, we draw from the way that Nature uses liquid-like layers\nas one effective method to control microorganisms. We created a similar system for commercially\navailable urinary catheters\, one of the most widely used and infection-prone medical devices. Tests\nof the modified catheter materials both in vitro and in vivo demonstrated that the presence of a\nliquid-like surface effectively prevented the attachment and spread of six of the most common\npathogens in catheter-associated urinary tract infection. The materials also resisted colonization by\nan emerging fungal pathogen of concern\, Candidozyma auris. In our work on functional surfaces\, we\nrepurpose a butterfly-scale-inspired nanoscale surface textured produced at 4\,000m\n2/h for the fashion industry as a water-quality sensor. By continuously monitoring the diffraction pattern\nproduced by the surface texture as water passes over it\, we show that it is possible to detect and\nquantify a variety of model contaminants including chemical compounds\, sediment\, and algae.\nPreliminary field testing in estuaries\, rivers\, and lakes around Maine confirmed the potential of\nbio-inspired diffraction sensing for low-cost environmental monitoring. Together\, these projects\nprovide a glimpse of the range of solutions that can be generated by looking to Nature for inspiration.
