Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Andrew Mitchell
Speaker: Andrew Mitchell (The Open University) Title: Classifying intrinsic ergodicity for random substitution systems Abstract: Classifying the measures of maximal entropy for a given dynamical system is an important problem in ergodic theory. In particular, one is often interested in whether the system is intrinsically ergodic, that is, whether...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Alexander Veselov
Speaker: Dr Alexander Veselov (Loughborough) Title: Differential algebra of polytopes and inversion formulas Abstract: For any formal power series, the coefficients of its compositional inverse are certain polynomials in the coefficients of the original power series. Remarkably these polynomials can be interpreted in terms of the combinatorics...
Algebra seminar - Patricia Medina-Capilla
Title: The second maximal subgroups of the almost simple groups Abstract: In 2018, Lucchini, Marion, and Tracey showed that every maximal subgroup of an almost simple group is 5-generated, lowering the previously known bound of 6. Naturally, one can ask the same about second maximal subgroups of almost simple groups. Burness, Liebeck and Shalev...
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Katerina Santicola
Speaker: Alexandros Konstantinou Title: The order of the Tate--Shafarevich group modulo squares Abstract: We present a method for decomposing abelian varieties up to isogeny using group actions. As an application, we show that given a square-free natural number n, there exists an abelian variety with finite Tate--Shafarevich group of order n...
AI-Fun with ELLIS Seminar | Siu Lun Chau: Credal Two-sample Tests: How to Test Hypothesis under Dataset Uncertainty
March’s AI-Fun with ELLIS Seminar is with Siu Lun (Alan) Chau from CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. In-person attendance is recommended but for anyone who cannot be physically present, there is a zoom link included below. Title: Credal Two-sample Tests: How to Test Hypothesis under Dataset Uncertainty Abstract: Dataset-level...

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Xiong Jin
Speaker: Xiong Jin (University of Manchester) Title: On the size of slices of planar self-similar sets with dense rotations Abstract: In this talk I will talk about the dimension of slices of planar self-similar sets whose rotation components contain irrational rotations. I will give a review of the existing results, and I will present some new...
