Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Amit Shah
Title: Infinite discrete cluster categories and the index Abstract: The “cluster category” is a categorification of the cluster algebra, which has opened the door to a vast and growing branch of the theory of cluster algebras. To de-categorify, one uses so-called “cluster characters” and the “index” is a tool that helps in constructing...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Happy Uppal
Speaker: Happy Uppal (Bristol) Title: Lines on del Pezzo surfaces Abstract: One of the crowning achievements of classical algebraic geometry is the Cayley–Salmon theorem, which states that any smooth cubic surface over an algebraically closed field contains exactly 27 lines. Over more general fields, however, the situation becomes more subtle:...
Logic Seminar - Asaf Karagila
Speaker: Asaf Karagila (University of Leeds) Title: Intermediate models of ZF and weak versions of the Axiom of Choice. Abstract: It is a well-known fact that two models of ZFC with the same sets of ordinals are equal. This fact has a generalisation using the Kinna–Wagner Principles, which suggest that the iterated power set of the ordinals...
FunLab Trafford Centre Takeover
Join us for a family friendly event at the Trafford Centre, as we take it over for the start of British Science Week! We'll be hosting a range of activities to help you explore, play and discover hands-on science and engineering. Full details of the day will be available soon.

Manchester Geometry Seminar - Konstantinos Kourliouros
Speaker: Konstantinos Kourliouros (Imperial) Title: Dynamical Propagation of Uncertainty: Contact Geometry, Statistics and Legendrian Singularities. Abstract: In this talk I will present a newly established contact geometric theory underlying the dynamical propagation of uncertainty in random dynamical systems with bounded noise. Using this...

AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Nikolay Malkin
For March's AI-Fun and ELLIS invited speaker series, we will have Nikolay Malkin from the University of Edinburgh. Title: Inferring stochastic dynamics without data: from diffusion samplers to discrete Schrödinger bridges Abstract: Probabilistic models that approximate a distribution by transporting particles from a source distribution to the...
