Honours Conference »
Honours Conference (50 minute talks)
Higher categories and algebraic K-theory »
We will watch a recording of a talk given by Andrew Blumberg.
When is a piece of mathematics great? »
In this talk, Professor Amnon Neeman will begin with two examples from the undergraduate curriculum: the theorem that there are infinitely many primes in an arithmetic progression, and the theorem that one cannot trisect an angle.
On the classification of tight contact structures on Lens spaces »
Graduate student seminar
Mesh generation and preliminary Findif calculations for limiter W7-X configuration »
Findif is a 3-D finite difference, multi-fluid code devised mainly for edge plasma simulations. Intrinsically and irreducibly 3-dimensional problems, such as stellarator or ergodic divertor simulations, are a natural playground for Findif.
Co-Lab Seminar »
This seminar series will consist of two talks: Using extrapolation to improve scalability and resilience of current PDE solvers by Professor Markus Hegland (MSI) and Two approaches to highly scalable and resilient partial differential equation solvers by Associate Professor Peter Strazdins (RSCS)
Morita Theory in Stable Homotopy »
We will watch a talk given by Brooke Shipley.
Love, Magic & Disobedient Databases: Maths & Comp Sci in the Pub »
Mathematicians and Computer Scientists get creative as they share their research, their love of brain-boggling abstract patterns and concepts.
On Escobar's conjecture and related topic »
The fundamental gap conjecture for Dirichlet eigenvalue problem on Euclidean domains is a well-known conjecture. In this talk we shall present our progress on Escobar's conjecture, namely, we confirm it for a large class of Riemannian manifolds, including Euclidean domains.
Derivative-Free Algorithms for Nonconvex Optimisation »
In this talk, I will introduce DFO methods and recent progress in the theory and implementation of these methods, with a particular focus on least-squares problems (e.g. parameter fitting).
