Manchester Geometry Seminar Special Session - Anisa Chorwadwala
Speaker: Anisa Chorwadwala (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Pune) Title: Optimisation of a mixed Steklov Dirichlet Eigenvalue Abstract: In this talk, I am going to talk about an eigenvalue optimisation problem over a family of doubly connected domains U:=D?? in R^2 where ?D, one boundary component, is a circle while the o..
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Jenny Roberts (KCL)
Speaker: Jenny Roberts (KCL) Title: Newform Eisenstein congruences of local origin Abstract: The theory of Eisenstein congruences dates back to Ramanujan’s surprising discovery that the Fourier coefficients of the discriminant function are congruent to the 11th power divisor sum modulo 691. This observation can be explained via the congrue..
Logic Seminar - Orla McGrath
Speaker: Orla McGrath (University of Leeds) Title: Partial Difference Algebraic Groups Abstract: A difference algebraic group is a subgroup of the general linear group defined by difference equations. Groups definable in ACFA (algebraically closed fields with an automorphism) have been widely studied, with applications including the proof of..
Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Joseph Harrison (Warwick)
Speaker: Joseph Harrison (Warwick) Title: Sum-product phenomena in algebraic groups Abstract: The cardinality of sumsets and product sets can be regarded as quantitative indicators of additive or multiplicative structure. Erd{\H o}s and Szemer{\' e}di proved that a set of integers cannot have both a small sumset and a small product set. In o..
