Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Andrei Yafaev
Speaker: Andrei Yafaev (UCL) Title: Bi-\Qbar structures and relations between CM periods Abstract: This is a joint work with Z.Gao and E.Ullmo. We introduce the abstract notion of bi-\Qbar structure and then specialise it to the case of a Shimura variety. We formulate a 'hyperbolic Wustholtz analytic subgroup conjecture' and explore its consequences...
Logic seminar: Michael Benedikt
Title: Finite Structures Embedded in Infinite Ones, Then and Now This talk is about a hybrid of finite and infinite model theory, where formulas can reference two kinds of non-logical symbols: there are ``built-in'' or ``interpreted'' symbols, which are interpreted over an infinite structure for a complete background theory -- e.g. real or...
Statistics Seminar - Compositional quasi-likelihood and logit models
Abstract: A composition vector describes the relative sizes of parts of a thing. Some important modern application areas are microbiome analysis, time-use analysis and archaeometry (to name just three). We develop model-based analysis of composition, through the first two moments of measurements on their original scale. In current applied work...
Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Benjamin Bedert

Samir Ghadiali -- Translational Applications of Mathematical and Computational Modeling in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine [IN PERSON]
Join us for this seminar by Samir Ghadiali (Ohio) 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 1.34 of the Simon Building. For those who cannot attend in person the...
Algebra seminar - Peio Ardaiz
Title: McCullough-Miller space for RAAGs Abstract: The McCullough-Miller space is a contractible simplicial complex that admits an action of the pure symmetric (outer) automorphisms of the free group, with stabilizers that are free abelian. This space has been used to derive several cohomological properties of these groups, such as computing their...

Speaker: Sacha Mangerel (Durham University) Title: TBA Abstract: TBA Room: Frank Adams 1
Logic seminar: Raffael Stenzel

Statistics Seminar - Periodogram regression, a two stage mixed effects approach for modelling multiple integer-valued time series of tropical cyclone frequency
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TC) are significant indicators of evolving climate dynamics. Two primary responses of interest are the cyclone frequency and intensity. In this paper we propose a novel integrated modelling framework for simultaneous modelling of TC frequency across several meteorological regions within Australasia. The key methodological...
Statistics Seminar - Statistical inference for emerging diseases inspired by Covid-19
Abstract (joint work with Prof Frank Ball) The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed the landscape in terms of how mathematical modelling of infectious diseases is viewed both in the academic community and wider population and has provided a stimulus for much research. I will talk about one research direction, motivated by Covid-19. We start from...
