Research seminars

We maintain a varied and collaborative series of seminars across our research areas.

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Paul Glendinning

14:00 - 15:00 20 October 2025

Speaker: Paul Glendinning (University of Manchester) Title: The boundary of chaos and the boundary of positive Hausdorff dimension of survivor sets for two-branch maps of the interval Abstract: Two classical problems in bifurcation theory are the characterisation of the boundary of chaos (in the sense of positive topological entropy) of fami..

Manchester Geometry Seminar - Fraser Sanders

20:00 - 21:00 20 October 2025

Speaker: Fraser Sanders (Manchester) Title: Contact Geometry in Infinite Dimensions Abstract: Symplectic geometry has for centuries been used to model physical systems with conserved quantities, while its odd-dimensional counterpart, contact geometry, has been used to model systems with dissipation, notably thermodynamical systems. Symplecti..

Mark Fricker -- Adaptive Biological Networks: from slime to society [IN PERSON]

14:00 - 15:00 20 October 2025

Join us for this seminar by Mark Fricker (Oxford) 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: Adaptive Biological Networks: from slime to society Abstract: Many different biological systems f..

Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Raymond McCulloch

15:00 - 16:00 21 October 2025

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 ap..

Logic Seminar - Thorsten Altenkirch

15:00 - 16:00 22 October 2025

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)..

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Jonathan Fraser

14:00 - 15:00 27 October 2025

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 th..
