Algebra seminar - Peter Rowley
Title: Euler characteristics and groups Abstract: Starting from a poset, meaning a partially ordered set, we may view it as a simplicial complex. This opens the door to such concepts as the Euler characteristic of the poset. Given a group G, we may take a collection of subgroups of G and regard them as the elements of a poset with the partial...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Chris Lutsko
Speaker: Chris Lutsko (University of Zurich) Title: Average variance bounds for points on the sphere. Abstract: Consider the integer points lying on the sphere of fixed radius projected onto the unit sphere. There is a well known problem to characterize the distribution of these points. Duke showed that, on congruence conditions for the radius...
Logic seminar: Giacomo Tendas
Title: Theories, sketches, and accessible categories. Abstract: In this talk I will give an overview on the relationship between Logic, the theory of Sketches (whose notion sits between logic and category theory) and that of Accessible Categories (a purely category theoretic notion). In particular, we will see that a category is (equivalent to)...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Faustin Adiceam
Speaker: Faustin Adiceam (Université Paris-Est Créteil) Title: Badly approximable vectors and putative counterexamples to the Littlewood conjecture Abstract: Answering a question raised by Bugeaud, the talk will be concerned with the determination of the Hausdorff dimension of a natural set interpolating between the set of badly approximable...
Gabriele Schweikert -- North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Gabriele Schweikert (Dundee) as part of the North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences. The talk will be hosted in person in room 4.63 of the Simon Building. For those who cannot attend in person the talk will also be streamed via zoom, please contact carl.whitfield@manchester.ac.uk or igor.chernyavsky@manchester.ac.uk...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Kasia Rejzner
Speaker: Kasia Rejzner (York) Title: Perturbative algebraic quantum field theory meets the boundary Abstract: I will begin with outlining the formalism of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory, which has been successfully applied in quantisation of gauge theories. Then I will explain how it can be generalized to situations where a boundary...
Algebra seminar - Isambard Goodbody
TBC
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Faustin Adiceam
Speaker: Faustin Adiceam (Paris-Est Créteil) Title: Homogeneous forms inequalities Abstract: The talk is concerned with counting the number of solutions to a system of inequalities of the form |F(x)| < A and ||x|| < B, where F is a real homogeneous form in n variables and A, B are parameters, requiring that the vector x should lie in a lattice....
Training Course on Visualisation & quantification of tomographic datasets
A 2 day training course covering theory and computer-based practical works using the Thermo Scientific™ Amira-Avizo Software. Lab/synchrotron X-ray tomography has emerged as one of the most important techniques for research in a wide range of applications including healthcare, energy, food and geology. Advances in the quality of X-ray beams,...
