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. Register for updates on the FunLab website.
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Joaquin Carrasco Gomez
Speaker: Joaquin Carrasco Gomez (University of Manchester) Title: A Modern Conjecture on Absolute Stability Abstract: The class of O’Shea–Zames–Falb multipliers currently yields the strongest known results for establishing the absolute stability of feedback interconnections between linear time-invariant (LTI) systems and slope-restricted...
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...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Lleonard Rubio y Degrassi
TBA
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Fred Tyrrell
Speaker: Fred Tyrrell (Bristol) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1
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...
Logic Seminar - Manlio Valenti
Speaker: Manlio Valenti (Swansea University) Title: Theorems as computational problems: an overview of Weihrauch reducibility Abstract: Weihrauch reducibility is a framework for studying the uniform strength of computational problems. Many mathematical theorems can naturally be understood as problems of the following form: given some input data...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Sophie Wright
Speaker: Sophie Wright (University of Bristol) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1 Further information: https://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/yotam.smilansky/dynamics_analysis
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Andrey Jivkov
Speaker: Andrey Jivkov (Manchester) Title: What becomes of Geometry when the Manifold is gone? Abstract: Classical differential geometry describes physical systems as smooth fields evolving on manifolds. However, many systems of interest evolve through discrete structural changes, for which smooth geometry provides at best an effective approximation. In...
