Prof. Leah Berman, Ursinus College: Symmetric Simplicial Pseudoline Arrangements
A simplicial arrangement of pseudolines is a collection of topological lines---that is, a collection of curves where each pair intersects exactly once---in the projective plane where each region that is formed is triangular. This talk will discuss a kaleidoscope construction to produce symmetric pseudoline arrangements, and it will show how to use this construction to produce and analyze several infinite families of simplicial pseudoline arrangements with high degrees of geometric symmetry. Many pretty pictures will be provided.

Prof. Gordon Williams, Ursinus College: Generalizing Polyhedra: Beyond Convexity
We will explore some of the exciting recent history of the study of polyhedra and polytopes, in particular efforts to generalize the theory to the study of non-convex bodies. Our discussion will include topics such as the recently solved Bellows Conjecture, the realizability of flexible polyhedra, approaches for generalizing polytopes to non-convex bodies in higher dimensions, and some ways in which intuition based on the study of polyhedra doesn't necessarily extend to higher dimensions.

Prof James Campbell, U. Memphis: Ramsey Theory of the Integers
Ramsey Theory can be loosely described as stating: Given a finite partition of some structure, there exist highly-organized sub-structures within a single partition element.

We will focus on van der Waerden's Theorem, which says that given any finite partition of the natural numbers, a single partition element will contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions (pretty cool, eh?). The original proof of this result (1927) was, not surprisingly, combinatorial. The interesting thing for us is that in recent years (say, the last 30), approaches to this theorem, and generalizations thereof, have evolved using dynamical systems.

We'll give a description of one of these methods, due to H. Furstenberg and B. Weiss, and attempt to describe the enormous box of possibilities (some of which have come to fruition) it opened.
