Adinkras are decorated graphs that encapsulate information about the physics of supersymmetry. If we color the edges of an Adinkra with a rainbow of shades in a specific order, we obtain a special curve that we can study using algebraic and geometric techniques. We use this structure to characterize height functions on Adinkras, then show how to encapsulate the same information using data from our rainbow. This talk describes joint work with Amanda Francis.For more information, call 845-758-6822, or e-mail [email protected].
