Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Nikolai Prochorov
Speaker: Nikolai Prochorov (Institut de Mathématiques de Marseille) Title: Thurston theory for critically fixed branched covering maps Abstract: In the 1980’s, William Thurston obtained his celebrated characterization of rational mappings. This result laid the foundation of such a field as Thurston's theory of holomorphic maps, which has been...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Matt Chaffe
TBA
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Cedric Pilatte
Speaker: Cedric Pilatte (Oxford) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 2
Maths education seminar: Graham Murphy on subject-specific language support for international mathematics students
Speaker: Graham Murphy (University of Leeds) Title: Subject-specific language support for international undergraduate mathematics students Abstract: Subject-specific language difficulties can be a barrier to success for international students. Typically support in this area has been in the taught postgraduate space. Dedicated language support...
AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Chengchun Shi
November’s AI-Fun and ELLIS Invited Speaker lecture will take place in Nancy Rothwell Building room 3A.012. This is in Core 1, on the third floor. If you go by stairs, once you get to the third floor stairwell/seating area, .012 is the first room on the right (entrance down the corridor on the right). If you use the left, head left out of the...
Logic Seminar - Xiaoduo Wang
Speaker: Xiaoduo Wang (University of Manchester) Tame Extensions of Generic Derivations on o-minimal Structures Let $T$ be a complete, model-complete o-minimal extension of the theory of real closed fields in a fixed language $\mathcal{L}$. A $T$-derivation is a derivation compatible with all $0$-definable $\mathcal{C}^{1}$-functions with open...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Andrey Lazarev
Speaker: Andrey Lazarev (Lancaster) Title: Duality for graded Lie algebras (joint work in progress with R. Tang) Abstract: Given a finite-dimensional Lie algebra g, its Chevalley-Eilenberg complex CE(g) is an exterior algebra on g and its top exterior power could be a nontrivial cocycle, in which CE(g) has a kind of Poincare duality. This happens...
SQUIDS Seminar: Numerical Computation of Mean Field Games Using Cole-Hopf Transformation and Fictitious Play
Speaker: Daisuke Inoue (Imperial College London) Abstract: Controlling large-scale multi-agent systems (MAS) is a critical challenge in today’s highly interconnected society. In this presentation, we present methods based on Mean Field Games (MFG) to address the computational challenges associated with MAS control problems. By combining the Cole–Hopf...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Lucas Ruhstorfer
TBA
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Edwina Aylward
Speaker: Edwina Aylward (UCL) Title: p-parity conjecture for twists of hyperelliptic curves by Artin representations Abstract: The p-parity conjecture for twists of abelian varieties over global fields predicts that the parity of the multiplicity of an Artin representation in the p-infinity Selmer group agrees with the global twisted root number....
