Charlotte Taylor Barca and Muhammad Ahtazaz Ahsan -- Maths in the Life Sciences Seminar [IN PERSON]
Join us for this special seminar to showcase PhD student research at the interface of maths and biology as part of the North West Seminar Series in Mathematical Biology and Data Sciences. Our speakers are Charlotte Taylor Barca and Muhammad Ahtazaz Ahsan (PhD candidates in Department of Mathematics and Division of Informatics, Imaging & Data Sciences...
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...
Manchester Geometry Seminar - Timothy Logvinenko
Speaker: Dr Timothy Logvinenko (Cardiff) Title: Skein-triangulated representations of generalised braids Abstract: There are many examples where the braid group Br_n acts on the derived category of an algebraic variety: the minimal resolutions of Kleinian singularities, the cotangent bundles of flag varieties, etc. In this talk, I will report...
Algebra seminar - Tuan Pham
Title: The orbit method for the Virasoro algebra Abstract: Let W = C[t, t^{-1}]\del_t be the Witt algebra of algebraic vector fields on C* and let Vir be the Virasoro algebra, the unique nontrivial central extension of W. In [Petukhov, Sierra 2022], it was shown that Poisson primitive ideals of S(W) and S(Vir) can be constructed from elements of...
Number Theory Seminar - Christopher Keyes
Speaker: Christopher Keyes (KCL) Title: Towards Artin's conjecture on p-adic quintic forms Abstract: Let K be a p-adic field whose residue field has q elements and suppose f is a homogeneous polynomial of degree d in n+1 variables over K. A conjecture, originally due to Artin, states that when d is prime and n is at least d^2, f=0 has a nontrivial...

SQUIDS Seminar - Classification of small-ball modes and maximum a posteriori estimators on metric spaces
A mode, or `most likely point', for a probability measure $\mu$ can be defined in various ways using the asymptotic behaviour of the $\mu$-mass of balls of radius $r \to 0$. Such points are of intrinsic interest in the local theory of measures on metric spaces and also arise naturally in the study of Bayesian inverse problems and diffusion processes....

Training Course on Advanced Scripting and Batching of Tomographic Datasets
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...
