Lecturer/Senior Lecturer Seminars - Dr Sanchayan Sen »
The aim of this talk is to give an overview of two interconnected themes that have arisen in my work.
Why should a general Diophantine equation have only finitely many solutions? »
In this talk I will explain why a general polynomial in several variables with integer coefficients should have only finitely many integer zeroes.
Maximal connected subgroups of the Cremona group »
This talk is about a work in progress with Jérémy Blanc and Andrea Fanelli.
Logarithmic compactification of the Abel map »
The Abel map takes a smooth algebraic curve with marked points and associates to it a point of the Jacobian of that curve.
The exceptional knot polynomial »
We will run from 3pm to 4:30pm, when we will break for the wine & cheese event in the common room.
Learning to deal with uncertainty in Flood and Tsunami Modelling »
Dr Stephen Roberts will be presenting a special lecture for MSI's Alumni, friends and colleagues.
ANU Mathematics Society LaTeX Workshop II: Introduction to LaTeX »
Bring a laptop (optional) and learn how to install and use the most sophisticated and powerful software for typesetting mathematical documents (not Microsoft Word!).
Linear recurrence relations in Q-systems »
There exists a system of difference equations called the Q-system for each simple Lie algebra.
Symmetries in social choice theory »
Elementary group theory has all sorts of surprising applications. I will show how an action of $S_n$ on the space of judgement profiles of n people, leads to an impossibility result concerning certain types of social welfare (judgement aggregation) functions.
Partial Differential Equations and Analysis Seminar »
In this seminar, we will discuss the topological and Non-topological solutions of Chern-Simons equations which is developed to explain the second type of superconductivity phenomenon.
