SUMMARY:Individual Blueberry Farm – Extension Office Hours – Machias
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lily Calderwood will be present at Extension Offices across the wild blueberry growing regions of Maine this spring for one-on-one free consultations. Sign up for an hour and a half time slot to discuss anything from field management\, business planning\, how to get started with a new field\, expertise on a particular subject\, to sharing ideas about research and education efforts. \nWhile Lily has expertise on many subjects\, she is also an excellent person to connect you to the resources you need. Lily can visit your field instead of an office meeting\, however\, developing a field management or business management plan requires focused time at a table with a computer and other\nresources. \n\nApril 14:\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\n\n\nApril 15:\n\n7:30 AM – 9:00 AM\n10:00 AM – 12:30 PM\n\n\nMay 12:\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\n\n\nMay 13:\n\n7:30 AM – 9:00 AM\n10:00 AM – 12:30 PM\n\n\nAddress: 91±¬ÁĎ Machias Science Building Rm 103\, Machias\, ME 04654\nCost: Free\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:Mathematics Colloquium — Vector vs. Scalar Sup Norms
DESCRIPTION:MAT Colloquium\nWednesday\, April 15\, 2026\nHill Auditorium\, Barrows Hall\nRefreshments at 3:00pm\, Talk 3:15-4:05pm \nSpeaker: Jack Buttcane\, 91±¬ÁĎ \nAbstract: \nRotations in three dimensions depend on three angles\, which we call the Euler angles. A function of the Euler angles can be expressed in terms of Wigner-D matrices\, which are representations of the rotation group SO(3). These matrix functions are strongly tied to quantum mechanics where they measure the probability of a state transition under a rotation\, but as a number theorist\, I am interested in their connection to automorphic forms: Suppose we have a vector-valued function of the 3Ă—3 invertible matrices that transforms by a Wigner-D matrix under rotations. Then an interesting quantity to study is the “sup norm” sup_A ||f(A)||\, i.e. the maximum value of the length of the vector f(A) over 3Ă—3 invertible matrices A. \nWe can also think of the function f as a vector of scalar-valued functions f=(f_{-d}\,…f_d) and for each entry f_j in the vector\, we can consider sup_A |f_j(A)|. The question I want to consider is\, to what extent does the ratio of these two sup norms depend exclusively on the Wigner-D matrix\, independent of the particular function f? As an undergraduate summer research project Andrii Obertas did some computations on this project and I’ll report on the outcome of those\, as well.
