Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Joaquin Carrasco Gomez
Speaker: Joaquin Carrasco Gomez (University of Manchester) Title: A Modern Conjecture on Absolute Stability Abstract: The class of O’Shea–Zames–Falb multipliers currently yields the strongest known results for establishing the absolute stability of feedback interconnections between linear time-invariant (LTI) systems and slope-restrict..
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 Number Theory Seminar - Fred Tyrrell
Speaker: Fred Tyrrell (Bristol) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1
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 d..
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 appr..
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..
Logic Seminar - Jesse Sigal
Speaker: Jesse Sigal (University of Edinburgh) TBC
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..
