Manchester Geometry Seminar - Anton Izosimov
Speaker: Anton Izosimov (Glasgow) Title: The dimer model and dynamical incidence geometry Abstract: The dimer model is an archetypal model of statistical physics. In recent years, it has also emerged in connection with gauge theory and integrable systems. We propose a geometric counterpart of the dimer model on bipartite graphs. A state of our...
Maths education seminar: Mark MacDonald on embedding groupwork throughout the maths curriculum
Speaker: Mark MacDonald (Lancaster University) Title: Embedding groupwork throughout the maths curriculum Abstract: Traditional mathematical coursework is now usually susceptible to AI-misuse, to the detriment of student learning. Groupwork exercises and projects in mathematics are potentially more AI-resistant due to the social pressures from...
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...

Logic Seminar - Calum Hughes
Speaker: Calum Hughes (University of Manchester) TBC
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...
Digital Worlds Fireside Chat: Meet Our Theme Lead
Find out more about our Digital Worlds theme and learn more about the support we can provide. Meet the Digital Worlds Theme Lead, Dave Topping, at Digital Worlds Fireside Chat: Meet Our Theme Lead! "When we frame digital tools as an ecology, we draw on natural-system concepts to reveal how software, hardware, data, people, and the wider environment...
