Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Ben Smith
Title: Coxeter matroids, minuscule varieties and Plücker equations Abstract: A matroid is a combinatorial object that can be seen as an abstraction of a linear space. For example, it is defined via a basis exchange relation, and every linear space gives rise to an underlying matroid. However, there is a deeper connection via the Grassmannian,...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Ilaria Cruciani
Speaker: Ilaria Cruciani (Roma Tre/Manchester) Title: Finiteness in powers of elliptic schemes over cyclotomic extensions Abstract: A central theme in number theory is understanding when sets of rational or algebraic points on varieties are finite or infinite. Classical results, such as Northcott’s theorem, show that imposing bounds on both...
AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Pablo Moreno Muñoz
This month’s AI-Fun and ELLIS Invited Speaker lecture will take place in Engineering Building B, room 2B.003. It’s easy to find: from the second floor (where Eng B and Nancy Rothwell Building join), follow the signs (take a left turn and then a right turn and the room is on the left); OR from the ground floor, take the stairs to the second...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Peej Ingarfield
Speaker: Peej Ingarfield (University of Manchester) Title: Dimension drop and estimating the gap Abstract: Iterated function systems (IFS) have played a key role in the study of fractals. When considering an IFS, studying what separation properties it has gives a great amount of information about the fractal associated to the IFS. In the case...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Kenji Terao
Speaker: Kenji Terao (Warwick) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1
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...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Paul Glendinning
Speaker: Paul Glendinning (University of Manchester) Title: The boundary of chaos and the boundary of positive Hausdorff dimension of survivor sets for two-branch maps of the interval Abstract: Two classical problems in bifurcation theory are the characterisation of the boundary of chaos (in the sense of positive topological entropy) of families...
