Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Diego Martinez
Speaker: Diego Martinez (University of Munster) Title: Generalized semigroup dynamics and their C*-algebras Abstract: Dynamical systems, that is, actions of (discrete) groups on locally compact spaces, have (classically) been used to construct broad classes of C*-algebras that are both interesting and manageable. In this talk we will discuss..
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Filippo Baroni
Speaker: Filippo Baroni (Oxford) Title: Algorithmic classification of surface homeomorphisms Abstract: Up to homotopy, homeomorphisms of closed surfaces come in three guises: periodic, reducible, and pseudo-Anosov. Among these three categories, pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms exhibit qualitatively different topological, dynamical, and geometri..
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Josh Males
Speaker: Josh Males (University of Bristol) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1
Giorgos Minas -- Efficient simulation, analysis and inference for large oscillatory stochastic systems [ONLINE]
Join us for this seminar by Giorgos Minas (St Andrews) as part of the North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences The talk will be hosted by the University of Liverpool and available to watch via zoom. Please contact carl.whitfield@manchester.ac.uk or mdomijan@liverpool.ac.uk for the link, or sign up to the mailing lis..
Logic seminar: Sylvy Anscombe
Title: Uniformities for Hilbert's Tenth Problem in henselian valued fields Abstract Hilbert's Tenth Problem in its original form asks for an algorithm to determine correctly whether -- or not -- a given multivariable polynomial equation with integer coefficients has integer solutions. The surprising resolution, by Davis, Putnam, Robinson, and..
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Cassani
Speaker: Cassani Title: The Pila-Zannier strategy and the Zilber-Pink conjecture Abstract: I will explain how the Pila-Zannier strategy plays out in the context of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for connected pure Shimura varieties. This extends Daw-Ren2018 from algebraic curves to irreducible varieties of arbitrary dimension. Room: Frank Adams..

Manchester Geometry Seminar - Nicolas Manrique
Speaker: Nicolas Manrique (Imperial College) Title: A non-linear spectrum for the Plateau problem Abstract: The production of minimal surfaces by min-max methods has seen immense progress in the past decade, culminating in the resolution by Song of Yau’s conjecture on the existence of infinitely many closed minimal surfaces in any closed..
