Pure maths colloquium - Radha Kessar
Speaker: Radha Kessar (University of Manchester) Title: Rationality and quaternion blocks Abstract: To each indecomposable factor (block) of a finite group algebra over a field of positive characteristic p is associated a conjugacy class of finite p-subgroups of the group called the defect groups of the block. A conjecture of Donovan predicts...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Anja Meyer
Title: tbc Abstract: tbc
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Joseph Harrison (Warwick)
Speaker: Joseph Harrison (Warwick) Title: Sum-product phenomena in algebraic groups Abstract: The cardinality of sumsets and product sets can be regarded as quantitative indicators of additive or multiplicative structure. Erd{\H o}s and Szemer{\' e}di proved that a set of integers cannot have both a small sumset and a small product set. In other...
Logic Seminar - Floris Vermeulen
Speaker: Floris Vermeulen (University of Münster) Title: Kontsevich-Zagier in valued fields Abstract: A period is a real number which is the measure of a semialgebraic set defined over the rationals. The ring of periods was formally introduced by Kontsevich and Zagier in 2001, and remains a rather mysterious object. Kontsevich and Zagier conjectured...
Katie Bentley -- Temporal regulation of vascular patterning: in silico, in vitro and in vivo [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Katie Bentley (KCL/Crick) as part of the Maths in the Life Sciences seminar series (and the online North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences in collaboration with Liverpool Universities). A description of the project that Katie will present is provided below. Though angiogenesis (the growth...

AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Nikolay Malkin
For May'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...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Research Ethos: Speed-Networking
Each research discipline has its own ethos—distinct ways of asking questions, applying methods, and communicating ideas. This diversity can sometimes feel like a barrier to collaboration, even within schools, let alone across the wider university. As interdisciplinary research becomes increasingly vital—driven by complex societal challenges...
Logic Seminar - Leo Gitin
Speaker: Leo Gitin (University of Oxford) TBC
Training course on advanced scripting and batching of tomographic datasets
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...
