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...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Matt Westaway
Title: Quantizations of nilpotent orbits in positive characteristic Abstract: Nilpotent coadjoint orbits in a reductive Lie algebra play an important role in the representation theory of Lie algebras, especially over fields of positive characteristic. One definition of a nilpotent orbit is an orbit which is preserved by non-zero scalar multiplication;...
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...
Alex Browning -- Identifiability of Stochastic and Spatial Models in Mathematical Biology [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Alex Browning (Melbourne 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: Identifiability of Stochastic and Spatial Models in Mathematical Biology Abstract: Effective application...

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...
