Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Raymond McCulloch
Speaker: Raymond McCulloch Title: Sharp o-minimality and lattice point counting Abstract: Since the introduction of the celebrated Pila-Wilkie theorem there have been several applications of o-minimality to point counting problems. These include a lattice point counting result due to Barroero and Widmer. In this talk I shall discuss the application...

Logic Seminar - Thorsten Altenkirch
Speaker: Thorsten Altenkirch (University of Nottingham) How to Define Type Theories? Traditionally, type theories have been defined extrinsically—by sorting untyped terms. In this talk, I will present the intrinsic approach, where we never introduce untyped objects. This can be implemented using Quotient Inductive–Inductive Types (QIITs),...
Unit M Startup Weekend
Calling all Women in STEM - Students, staff & alumni (2025): Have you ever wondered what day 0 of your startup actually feels like? In collaboration with The Tech Bros, Unit M are running an all-expenses paid weekend in Cheshire (hotel stay included) on 24th-26th October. What’s on the agenda? - A founder crash-course - A true startup simulation:...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Jonathan Fraser
Speaker: Jonathan Fraser (University of St Andrews) Title: Dimensions of orbital sets in complex dynamics Abstract: Let E be a non-empty compact subset of the Riemann sphere and T be a rational map of degree at least two. The associated orbital set is defined to be the backwards orbit of E under T. I will consider under what circumstances the...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Tim Burness
Title: Simple groups, nilpotent subgroups and their intersections Abstract: Let G be a finite group, let p be a prime and let H be a Sylow p-subgroup. Problems concerning the intersections of Sylow subgroups have been studied for many decades. For example, a theorem of Ito from 1958 shows that if G has odd order, then H \cap H^x = O_p(G) for...
Impact Bites: Public 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...
