Mathematical adventures in geobiology: to be a rock and not to roll »
In this event, Professor Batchelor will explain what stromatolites are and how mathematical models have been used to understand their origin and formation.
On the critical loci of finite maps »
Consider a rational function f(z) of degree n. To f(z), we can associate its set of critical points, namely the points z where the derivative vanishes.
An approach to the local geometric Langlands conjectures via higher representation theory »
The local geometric Langlands conjectures, formulated by Frenkel and Gaitsgory, give a geometric description of the representation categories of affine Lie algebras at the critical level.
Yitao Lei »
The PhD seminar is a weekly seminar held on Tuesday mornings, at 11am, for PhD students to talk about their thesis work or other projects.
An introduction to fractals and the open set condition »
This talk will introduce the fundamentals of fractal geometry and will explain an important and currently open question in the field, that is, when does a fractal obey the open set condition?
Analytic Functions of Several Complex Variables »
In the talk I will present the elementary definitions and motivations concerning analytic functions of a single complex variable and explain why calculus naturally leads to such a notion.
Gauging modular categories »
Gauging is a procedure for taking a modular category equipped with an action by a finite group, and producing a new modular category.
Quantum mechanics is non-commutative probability »
Quantum mechanics is traditionally meant to be difficult to understand. I think this is just a scam perpetrated by the physicists, because actually it’s all very simple.
Unitary fusion categories generated by an object of small dimension »
Unitary fusion categories are a class of rich algebraic objects, with deep connections to many areas of mathematics and physics.
The étale site of the stable module category of a finite group »
In this talk, I will explain what separable monoids are and show how they pop up in various settings.
