Abstract:
Adinkras are decorated graphs that encapsulate information about the physics of supersymmetry. To each Adinkra equipped with a cyclic edge color rainbow, one may associate a poset of possible height functions and an algebraic curve. We elucidate the relationship between height function and divisor structures using the arithmetic of generalized Fermat curves. This talk describes joint work with Amanda Francis.
