Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Konstantin Bogdanov
Speaker: Konstantin Bogdanov (University of Manchester) Title: Infinite-dimensional Thurston theory in holomorphic dynamics Abstract: Thurston's Topological Characterization of Rational Functions is one of the main tools in complex dynamics. It provides a criterion of when a topological model of a rational function with finite critical orbits...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Pete Gautam
Title: Fusion systems related to large sporadic groups Abstract: Fusion systems are closely related to groups where we focus only on conjugation (fusion) coming from the group to its p-subgroups. Fusion systems related to sporadic groups have been studied throughout, and many exotic fusion systems have been found on a Sylow p-subgroup of a sporadic...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Sean Prendiville (Lancaster)
Speaker: Sean Prendiville (Lancaster) Title: Regularity as an alternative to transference Abstract: One way to approach certain number-theoretic problems involving sparse sets, such as the primes or squares, is to "model" these sets with dense sets of integers, then import results from the dense regime. This "transference principle" has been...
Digital Trust and Security Webinar: Daniel Shiu
The Internet is shifting to post?quantum security as current encryption weakens. This talk explores the risks &how we can protect our future This event invites participants from all disciplines and backgrounds to come together, fostering interdisciplinary connections and discussions. Talk Title: Can we make the Internet quantum-resistant? The...
Logic Seminar - Orla McGrath
Speaker: Orla McGrath (University of Leeds) Title: Partial Difference Algebraic Groups Abstract: A difference algebraic group is a subgroup of the general linear group defined by difference equations. Groups definable in ACFA (algebraically closed fields with an automorphism) have been widely studied, with applications including the proof of...
SQUIDS Seminar: Optimizing the Dynamics of the Frequency Bias in Fourier Features Neural Networks
Speaker: Professor Matias Courdurier (Pontifical Catholic University of Chile) Abstract: Implicit Neural Representations often learn signals capturing low-frequency structure before high-frequency details, a phenomenon known as Frequency Bias. Fourier Feature networks can reduce this effect by encoding inputs with sinusoidal components sampled...
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) TBC
