Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Adam Thomas
Title: When is complete reducibility inherited? Abstract: A subgroup X of G = GL(V) is said to be G-cr if X acts completely reducibly on V. In the 1990s, Serre generalized this to subgroups of an arbitrary connected reductive algebraic group G, a concept that has generated a lot of interest since. I will present joint work with Martin Liebeck (Imperial)...
Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Co-Authorship: Rotating Roundtables
Co-authoring can offer significant benefits in interdisciplinary research bringing together experts from various fields to produce impactful publications. How can we effectively manage co-authoring processes to ensure equitable contributions and recognition? What best practices can we adopt to enhance collaboration and productivity? Join us to...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Tomasz Kosciuszko
Speaker: Tomasz Kosciuszko Title: Schur-like numbers and a lemma of Shearer Abstract: Suppose that we colour all integers from 1 to N with n colours. The question of Schur asks about the largest N for which this can be done without creating any monochromatic sums. The exact answer is not known and the factorial bound that Schur proposed has not...
Logic Seminar - Jonathan Kirby
Speaker: Jonathan Kirby (The University of East Anglia) Title: Integration in finite terms and exponentially algebraic functions Abstract: The problem of integration in finite terms is the problem of finding exact closed forms for antiderivatives of functions, within a given class of functions. Liouville introduced his elementary functions...
Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Pete Gautam
Title: tbc Abstract: tbc
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Jenny Roberts (KCL)
Speaker: Jenny Roberts (KCL) Title: Newform Eisenstein congruences of local origin Abstract: The theory of Eisenstein congruences dates back to Ramanujan’s surprising discovery that the Fourier coefficients of the discriminant function are congruent to the 11th power divisor sum modulo 691. This observation can be explained via the congruence...
Digital Trust and Security Webinar: Daniel Shiu
The Internet is shifting to post?quantum security as current encryption weakens. This talk explores the risks &how we can protect our future This event invites participants from all disciplines and backgrounds to come together, fostering interdisciplinary connections and discussions. Talk Title: Can we make the Internet quantum-resistant? The...
Logic Seminar - Orla McGrath
Speaker: Orla McGrath (University of Leeds) TBC
SQUIDS Seminar: Optimizing the Dynamics of the Frequency Bias in Fourier Features Neural Networks
Speaker: Professor Matias Courdurier (Pontifical Catholic University of Chile) Abstract: Implicit Neural Representations often learn signals capturing low-frequency structure before high-frequency details, a phenomenon known as Frequency Bias. Fourier Feature networks can reduce this effect by encoding inputs with sinusoidal components sampled...
