18 May ~ Dimitris Michailidis “The Quillen-Suslin theorem”

By ar515 | 16 May 2018

In 1955 Jean-Pierre Serre, motivated from Algebraic Geometry, stated his famous conjecture, “We don’t know if there exist finitely generated projective modules over the ring … Read more

11 May ~ Jocelyne Ishak “Some topological fun”

By ar515 | 09 May 2018

This talk is intended to introduce the area of topology to a general audience in a fun way. We will start by defining the notion … Read more

23 March ~ José Perusquía “Construction of Random Probability Measures through the Normalisation of Completely Random Measures”

By ar515 | 21 March 2018

Bayesian Nonparametrics is characterised by “big” parameter spaces and the construction of probability measures on them. For the specification of these (random) probability measures there … Read more

9 March ~ Lucy Barnes “Tools for nonlinear PDE’s when numerics won’t save you”

By ar515 | 07 March 2018

A very brief overview of a variety of tools that can simplify certain nonlinear PDE’s, specifically equations that are difficult to solve numerically. Using conservation … Read more

19 Februrary Sibson Seminar Room 3 at 1pm ~ Raf Bocklandt (University of Amsterdam) “Local quivers and Morita theory for matrix factorizations “

By ar515 | 16 February 2018

We will discuss how techniques in Mirror symmetry developed by Cho, Hong and Lau can lead to a Morita theory for matrix factorizations and tie … Read more

16 February ~ Peter Spacek “Canterbury Zoo of Spaces, an overview of the main subfields of Differential Geometry”

By ar515 | 14 February 2018

This presentation will give a short tour through the Canterbury Zoo of Spaces, i.e. it will introduce the basics and some nice examples and applications … Read more

9 February ~ Aniketh Pittea, Alexandra Rogers and Alan Riva Palacio “Some open problems and questions”

By ar515 | 07 February 2018

Alex will present a problem on the invariant factors of certain types of matrices arising from diagrams. Aniketh will discuss graphical models and the controversies … Read more

2 February ~ Isaac Oppong “Balance Incomplete Block Designs (BIBDs) in the Splitting Fields of some Polynomials”

By ar515 | 31 January 2018

We consider how we can obtain balance incomplete block designs (BIBDs) from the splitting fields of some class of polynomials. The splitting field of polynomial, … Read more

26 January ~ Andrew Celsus (University of Cambridge) “Asymptotics of Orthogonal Polynomials with Respect to Varying Complex Weights”

By ar515 | 24 January 2018

Motivated by the numerical approximation of highly oscillatory integrals, we consider asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to varying complex weights. The zeros of these … Read more

15 December ~ Hélder Lima “An introduction to (multiple) orthogonal polynomials”

By ar515 | 13 December 2017

In this talk we will see the definitions and some basic results, examples and applications for orthogonal polynomials, multiple orthogonal polynomials and d-orthogonal polynomials.
