Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Eng-Jon Ong
Speaker: Eng-Jon Ong (Queen Mary University of London) Title: Discrete spectrum in S-adic substitution dynamical systems via the balanced pair algorithm Abstract: Substitutions and S-adic dynamical systems are a natural framework for generating and studying infinite symbolic sequences via the iterative application of substitution rules. For..
Eder Zavala -- Mathematical analysis of endocrine rhythms and wearable time series data [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Eder Zavala (Manchester) 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: Mathematical analysis of endocrine rhythms and wearable time series data Hormones are essentia..
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Anna Pratoussevitch
Speaker: Anna Pratoussevitch (Liverpool) Title: Discreteness of Ultra-Parallel Complex Hyperbolic Triangle Groups Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss discreteness criteria for groups of complex hyperbolic isometries generated by complex reflections. In particular, we will focus on the case of groups generated by three complex reflection..
Logic Seminar - Martin Bays
Speaker: Martin Bays (University of Oxford) Groups from non-expansion in higher dimension Call a complex polynomial f(x,y) _expanding_ if there is e>0 such that for all sufficiently large finite sets A and B of complex numbers with |B| >= |A|, we have |f(A,B)| > |A|^{1+e}. A result of Elekes and Rónyai shows that the only non-expanding poly..
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 o..
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Konstantinos Kourliouros
Speaker: Konstantinos Kourliouros (Imperial) Title: Dynamical Propagation of Uncertainty: Contact Geometry, Statistics and Legendrian Singularities. Abstract: In this talk I will present a newly established contact geometric theory underlying the dynamical propagation of uncertainty in random dynamical systems with bounded noise. Using this..
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 appr..
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Adam Maskalaniec
Speaker: Adam Maskalaniec (Warsaw) Title: k-contact geometry in relativistic hydrodynamics Abstract: We develop a rigorous geometric framework for the study of relativistic spin hydrodynamics, described by generalized thermodynamic relations. Our approach extends the classical contact geometric description of equilibrium thermodynamics by..
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Rubén Izquierdo López
Speaker: Rubén Izquierdo López (ICMAT, Madrid) Title: The geometry of variational problems: An introduction to multisymplectic geometry Abstract: It is well known that autonomous classical mechanics can be described using symplectic geometry. By introducing a symplectic structure on an even-dimensional manifold (usually the cotangent bu..
