Texas A&M Mathematics Graduate Student Organization
About MGSO
MGSO exists to encourage communication among students and to contribute to a rich social life in the department through cultural and scientific dialogue. We would like to provide an environment where students in the mathematics department can practice their presentation skills and observe the techniques of others. It is our goal to be a source of support and information for all graduate students.
The main activity of the MGSO is the Graduate Student Seminar. This seminar is for grad students, (largely) by grad students: Volunteer to give a talk!

Speaker: Hannah Solomon
Time: 4:00-5:00p, Thursday, April 25
Location: Blocker 628
Title: Classifying and Realizing Modular Data for Super-Modular Tensor Categories
Abstract: Super-modular tensor categories have broad applications, including to spin topological quantum field theories and fermionic topological phases of matter. However, the current classification is only confirmed to be complete through rank 6. We aim to further the classification and understand more about realizing the modular data produced through various methods as data coming from super-modular tensor categories.
