Pamela E. Harris, Ph.D, Faculty Fellow of the Davis Center & Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Associate Professor of Mathematics at Williams College, will present. Multiplex juggling sequences are generalizations of juggling sequences (describing throws of balls at discrete heights) that specify an initial and terminal configuration of balls and allow for multiple balls at any particular discrete height. Kostant’s partition function is a vector function that counts the number of ways one can express a vector as a nonnegative integer linear combination of a fixed set of vectors. What do these two families of combinatorial objects have in common? Attend this talk to find out
