It is known that any opened necklace with beads of n types can be partitioned by at most (k-1)n cuts into intervals that can be distributed into k collections, each containing the same number of beads of each type (up to 1). The proof is topological...

This talk reports on joint work with Maria Bertozzi, Tara Holm, Emily Maw, Grace Mwakyoma, Ana Rita Pires, and Morgan Weiler on a WiSCon project to investigate the embedding capacity function of the one-point blow up of $\mathbb CP^2$. We found...

We will discuss $p$-local representation theory and conjectures of Broue and Alperin, the latter been inspired by finite groups of Lie type in characteristic $p$. The issue is the extent to which the category of representations can be reconstructed...
