1 December ~ Joe Pallister “This Kent man earned £££ using Cluster Algebras”
Assem, Reutenauer and Smith (almost) proved that recurrences from cluster mutations of quivers satisfy linear relations if and only if the underlying quiver is Dynkin … Read more
24 November ~ V. Ponce (Heidelberg University) “Mathematical models for studying in vitro tumour invasion.”
Scratch assays or wound healing assays are popular in vitro experiments that provide insights into cancer invasion and tissue repair processes. In these experiments, a … Read more
17 November ~ F. Claassens “Just for [redacted] and giggles.”
Paul Erdős is arguably one of the most colorful mathematicians of the 20th century. In his lifetime he wrote 1525 articles with 511 collaborators in his … Read more
10 November ~ P. Spacek “Canterbury Zoo of Spaces, an overview of the main subfields of Differential Geometry.”
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 of Differential … Read more
03 November ~ N. Carr “Geometric algebra- how to multiply vectors properly.”
A geometric algebra is a real vector space endowed with the geometric product, which contains the familiar dot product and a generalisation of the cross … Read more
27 October ~ A. Diana “A Polya Tree based model for counts of unmarked individuals in an open population”
In this talk we present a Bayesian nonparametric model for count data in an animal population with size not assumed to be constant since individuals can arrive and depart from the … Read more
20 October ~ D. Michailidis “Tensor Triangular Geometry”
In pure mathematics, we usually want to study the properties and the structure of an algebraic, geometric or topological object. In order to study the … Read more
13 October ~ Jie Li “Local Nonparametric Shrinkage Covariance Model.”
Estimation of covariance matrix function is fundamentally important for many problems. In these kinds of problems, the number of available observations at each area is often … Read more
7 October 2016: Christos Sarakisidis “Homology and Cohomology theories: a historical survey and the contemporary approach”
Homology and years after Cohomology became the main object of study for many areas of mathematics the last 150 years or so. The reason is that … Read more
