Algebra seminar - Mark Wildon
Title: An introduction to plethysm Abstract: The plethysm product on symmetric functions corresponds to composition of polynomial representations of general linear groups. Decomposing a plethysm product into Schur functions, or equivalently, writing the corresponding composition of Schur functors as a direct sum of Schur functors, is one of the...
Logic seminar: Andrew Harrison-Migochi
Title: Effective Lattice Point Counting Abstract: Joint with Raymond McCulloch. We use recent developments in effective o-minimality to obtain an effective version of Barroero and Widmer's lattice point counting result in some expansions of the real field including the real exponential field. I will discuss on sharp o-minimality, the proof of...
Prof Nir Gov -- Modelling the migration of branched cells on networks [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Prof Nir Gov (Weizmann Institute, Israel) as part of the North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences. More details about the joint series can be found here https://northwestseminars.great-site.net/ . The talk will be hosted in person in room 2.61 of the Simon Building. For those who cannot attend...

SQUIDS Seminar - Nested expectations with kernel quadrature
This paper considers the challenging computational task of estimating nested expectations. Existing algorithms, such as nested Monte Carlo or multilevel Monte Carlo, are known to be consistent but require a large number of samples at both inner and outer levels to converge. Instead, we propose a novel estimator consisting of nested kernel quadrature...
Statistics Seminar - Bayesian Functional Regression for Extremes
Dr. Nicolas Hernandez (QMUL) Title: "Bayesian Functional Regression for Extremes". Abstract: Recent record-breaking extreme events-such as catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, and intense hurricanes-highlight the urgent need for improved statistical methodologies to analyse and predict such occurrences. Extreme Value Theory (EVT)...
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...
