Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Peej Ingarfield
Speaker: Peej Ingarfield (University of Manchester) Title: Dimension drop and estimating the gap Abstract: Iterated function systems (IFS) have played a key role in the study of fractals. When considering an IFS, studying what separation properties it has gives a great amount of information about the fractal associated to the IFS. In the cas..
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Alexei Bolsinov
Speaker: Alexei Bolsinov (Loughborough) Title: Nijenhuis Geometry Abstract: A Nijenhuis structure on a smooth manifold is given by a field $L$ of endomorphisms with zero Nijenhuis torsion: $$ L^2[u,v] - L[Lu,v] - L[u,Lv] + [Lu, lv]=0. $$ The classical Haantjes theorem states that locally every Nijenhuis endomorphism with a simple real spec..
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Kenji Terao
Speaker: Kenji Terao (Warwick) Title: An introduction to modular curves Abstract: Modular curves are objects of central importance in arithmetic geometry, parametrizing elliptic curves with particular Galois representations. They form a key part of the proof of results such as Fermat's Last Theorem and Mazur's torsion theorem. In this talk,..
Logic Seminar - Mathieu Anel
Speaker: Mathieu Anel (Carnegie Mellon University) Title TBA Abstract TBA
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Paul Glendinning
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..
Mark Fricker -- Adaptive Biological Networks: from slime to society [IN PERSON]
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
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..
