Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Matt Westaway
Title: Quantizations of nilpotent orbits in positive characteristic Abstract: Nilpotent coadjoint orbits in a reductive Lie algebra play an important role in the representation theory of Lie algebras, especially over fields of positive characteristic. One definition of a nilpotent orbit is an orbit which is preserved by non-zero scalar multiplication;...
Logic Seminar - Mervyn Tong
Speaker: Mervyn Tong (University of Cambridge) Higher-arity distality and hypergraph regularity In recent years, the intersection of model theory and combinatorics has been a fertile ground for research. One notable example concerns the Szemerédi regularity lemma, a pivotal result in combinatorics that allows graphs to be decomposed into a bounded...
SQUIDS Seminar: Kernel Quantile Embeddings and Associated Probability Metrics
Speaker: Dr Masha Naslidnyk (University College London) Abstract: Embedding probability distributions into reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) has enabled powerful non-parametric methods such as the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), a statistical distance with strong theoretical and computational properties. At its core, the MMD relies on...

Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
