Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Nikolai Prokhorov
Speaker: Nikolai Prokhorov (University of Manchester) Title: Graphs and meromorphic functions Abstract: Let f be a polynomial (in one variable) with complex coefficients. It can be viewed as a self-map of the complex plane C. Suppose that f has exactly two critical values, namely -1 and 1. Consider the segment [-1,1] and its preimage under f,...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Adam Maskalaniec
Speaker: Adam Maskalaniec (Warsaw) Title: k-contact geometry in relativistic hydrodynamics Abstract: We develop a rigorous geometric framework for the study of relativistic spin hydrodynamics, described by generalized thermodynamic relations. Our approach extends the classical contact geometric description of equilibrium thermodynamics by...
Oliver Meacock -- Growth accelerations bridge the mechanistic and ecosystem scales in microbiomes [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Oliver Meacock (Sheffield) 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). Title: Growth accelerations bridge the mechanistic and ecosystem scales in microbiomes Abstract: Microbiomes...
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...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Anja Meyer
TBA
Impact Bites: Policy Engagement session
The FSE Impact Team are starting a new event series to give academics short introductions to different aspects of research impact pathways and impact, using examples from around the faculty. Delivered over lunchtime, these 30min sessions will give you new approaches, ideas, and perspectives on research impact to think about when carrying out your...
Logic Seminar - Charlotte Bartnick
Speaker: Charlotte Bartnick (Universität Freiburg) Title: Definable groups in differentially closed fields of positive characteristic Abstract: Definable groups in theories of fields can often be described in terms of algebraic groups. For example, by a result of Pillay, every definable group in a differentially closed field of characteristic...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Rubén Izquierdo López
Speaker: Rubén Izquierdo López (ICMAT, Madrid) Title: The geometry of variational problems: An introduction to multisymplectic geometry Abstract: It is well known that autonomous classical mechanics can be described using symplectic geometry. By introducing a symplectic structure on an even-dimensional manifold (usually the cotangent bundle...
