Syracuse Mathematics Department

Syracuse Mathematics Department The Department of Mathematics, Syracuse University College of Arts and Sciences We offer a diverse array of undergraduate and graduate degree programs.

We have an active faculty with research interests ranging from statistics and mathematics education to many areas of pure and applied mathematics. We promote the appreciation of mathematics in the secondary schools and in the community.

Congratulations Julia!

Congratulations Julia!

Incredible news: Julia Fancher, a rising senior majoring in physics and mathematics in the Syracuse University College of Arts and Sciences, has earned her second award from the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation! ๐Ÿš€

Julia's passion for computational and analytical astrophysics is taking her research to new heights. With plans to pursue a doctoral program and build her own astrophysics lab, she's determined to unlock the mysteries of theoretical high-energy astrophysics.

Congratulations Juliaโ€”the stars are truly the limit! โœจ

๐ŸŽ‰ Bittersweet News from the Math Department! ๐ŸŽ‰

Please join us in celebrating our amazing Office Coordinator, Mโ€™Tia Williams, as she begins an exciting new chapter! ๐Ÿ’ผโœจ

After serving as the heart of the SU Mathematics Departmentโ€”keeping the office running smoothly, supporting students and faculty, and yes, even managing this very social media accountโ€”Mโ€™Tia is heading to the Whitman School of Management as their newest Academic Advisor! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ‘

While weโ€™ll deeply miss her warmth, creativity, and leadership here in Math, we are so proud of all sheโ€™s accomplished and excited for whatโ€™s ahead.

Congratulations, Mโ€™Tia! Thank you for everythingโ€”youโ€™ve left your mark, and your Math family will always be rooting for you. ๐Ÿ’™

Title: On a construction of a minimal free resolutions of the residue field of a codepth 3 local ring

Abstract: In a paper with Van Nguyen we gave a description of a truncated minimal free resolution, up to homological degree five, of the residue field k over any local Noetherian ring (R,m,k) of any codepth. This description relies on the graded commutative algebra structure of the Koszul homology A=H(K), where K is the Koszul complex of the maximal ideal. The free resolution is given as building blocks in terms of the Koszul complex K. In a subsequent paper we constructed the entire free resolution of the residue field over a complete intersection ring, using an iterated mapping cone construction.

In my talk, I will discuss how the mapping cone construction in general can yield a minimal free resolution of k over other classes of rings. In particular, for local ring (R,m,k) of class T of codepth 3 (that is part of the Weyman and Avramov-Kustin-Miller classification), we construct a graded resolution of k over A and then from it we obtain the minimal free resolution of k over R.

Title: Rigidity of free boundary minimal surface disks in mean convex three-manifolds

Abstract: In this lecture, we present a local rigidity result for free boundary minimal two-disks strictly stable on a Riemannian three-manifolds with a positive lower bound on its scalar curvature and mean convex boundary. Assuming that image001.png locally maximizes the modified Hawking mass, we prove that a neighborhood of it in image002.png is isometric to one half de Sitter Schwarzschild space. This is a joint work with Barnabรฉ Lima (UFPI) and Joรฃo Silva (UFPI).
