SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Algebraic Geometry: Bernstein-Sato polynomials and log resolutions by orbifolds
DESCRIPTION:The Bernstein-Sato polynomial is an important invariant of singularities\, intimately related to the monodromy of the Milnor fiber\, the log canonical threshold\, and rational and Du Bois singularities. A classical method introduced by Kashiwara and refined by Lichtin provides estimates for the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial in terms of a log resolution. In this talk\, we extend their method to log resolutions by orbifolds\, which has applications to the singularities of weighted homogeneous and Khovanskii non-degenerate complete intersections.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Raquel Alonso-Perez
DESCRIPTION:Where a gemstone or a grain of gold comes from is no longer a question only paper trails can answer. Emeralds show what is possible: using the largest global dataset available\, more than 1\,000 LA-ICP-MS analyses of gem-quality emeralds\, machine learning models trained on just eight trace elements (Li\, V\, Cr\, Fe\, Sc\, Ga\, Rb\, Cs) determine geographic origin with 96.8% accuracy. Gold is the harder problem\, and the more urgent: illegal mining in the Amazon drives mercury contamination and opaque supply chains. We are now applying the same architecture to native gold\, building the curated reference datasets needed to test whether source-related groupings can be resolved across the geologically heterogeneous Amazonian craton\, a stringent challenge given low trace-element concentrations and overlapping geochemical signatures. Built on well-documented reference collections such as Harvard's and partner Brazilian institutions\, this work provides an initial basis for geochemical screening of mercury-linked illicit supply chains\, and a template for the future of mineral traceability.
