Algebra seminar - Angela Tabiri
14:00 - 15:00 11 February 2025
Title: Hopf Algebra Constructions for Degree n Polynomials Abstract: For a polynomial g of degree n in one variable x, we can construct the Hopf algebra A(x,a,g). For degree n=2,3, this algebra A(x,a,g) is related to the well studied algebras; the quantum plane and downup algebra. This talk will discuss...

Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Akshat Mudgal
15:00 - 16:00 11 February 2025
Speaker: Akshat Mudgal (Warwick) Title: Large deviations of L-functions Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss statistical properties of values of L-functions and their extreme values. In particular, I will review recent work on extending Selberg’s Central Limit Theorem from ranges of order of the...

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Sean Prendiville
10 February - 26 April 2025
Speaker: Sean Prendiville (University of Lancaster) Title: An inverse theorem for the Gowers U^3 norm relative to quadratic level sets Abstract: The Gowers uniformity norms have become well-used tools in additive combinatorics, ergodic theory and analytic number theory. We discuss the utility of these...

Logic seminar: Calliope Ryan-Smith
15:15 - 16:30 5 February 2025
Title: The Hartogs–Lindenbaum Spectrum Abstract: Under the axiom of choice, if there is a surjection Y-->X then there is an injection X-->Y. However, if the axiom of choice fails this may not hold, even if X can be well-ordered. This gives rise to the concepts of Hartogs and Lindenbaum numbers of a...

Algebra seminar - Lucia Morotti
14:00 - 15:00 4 February 2025
Title: Irreducible restrictions of spin representations of symmetric and alternating groups Abstract: In positive characteristic, irreducible restrictions of spin representations of symmetric and alternating groups have been studied by Kleshchev and Tiep. Their classification is however only partial...
