Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Lleonard Rubio y Degrassi
Title: Outer derivations on blocks of group algebras Abstract : Let G be a finite group and let k be a field whose characteristic divides the order of G. The derivation problem for group algebras asks whether HH^1(kG):=Der(kG)/Inn(kG), the space of k-linear derivations modulo inner derivations, is nonzero. Fleischmann, Janiszczak, and Lempken...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Fred Tyrrell
Speaker: Fred Tyrrell (Bristol) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1
AI-Fun & ELLIS Invited Speaker Series | Nikolay Malkin
For March's AI-Fun and ELLIS invited speaker series, we will have Nikolay Malkin from the University of Edinburgh. Title: Inferring stochastic dynamics without data: from diffusion samplers to discrete Schrödinger bridges Abstract: Probabilistic models that approximate a distribution by transporting particles from a source distribution to the...
Logic Seminar - Manlio Valenti
Speaker: Manlio Valenti (Swansea University) Title: Theorems as computational problems: an overview of Weihrauch reducibility Abstract: Weihrauch reducibility is a framework for studying the uniform strength of computational problems. Many mathematical theorems can naturally be understood as problems of the following form: given some input data...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Sophie Wright
Speaker: Sophie Wright (University of Bristol) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1 Further information: https://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/yotam.smilansky/dynamics_analysis
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Andrey Jivkov
Speaker: Andrey Jivkov (Manchester) Title: What becomes of Geometry when the Manifold is gone? Abstract: Classical differential geometry describes physical systems as smooth fields evolving on manifolds. However, many systems of interest evolve through discrete structural changes, for which smooth geometry provides at best an effective approximation. In...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Colton Sandvik
TBA
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Lilybelle Cowland Kellock
Speaker: Lilybelle Cowland Kellock (Manchester) Title: Reduction types of genus 2 curves Abstract: Reduction types are used to recover lots of important arithmetic information attached to curves over local fields, for example Tamagawa numbers which show up in the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for Jacobians of curves. I will discuss a joint...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Harnessing Storytelling to Amplify Research
How can we ensure our interdisciplinary research creates real-world benefits? At The University of Manchester, we recognise that transformative research requires not just technical expertise, but also strong collaborations across disciplines and authentic engagement with communities. This workshop explores how we can co-create research narratives...
Logic Seminar - Jesse Sigal
Speaker: Jesse Sigal (University of Edinburgh) Title: How not to choose in the semantics of dependent types Abstract: Many constructions in the semantics of logics and programming languages involve universal properties. These universal constructions allow us not to care about the choice of "implementation", the universal property alone is sufficient....
