Logic seminar: Michal Szachniewicz
14:15 - 15:30 23 October 2024
Title: Foundations of globally valued fields. Abstract: I will present results from a joint work with Itaï Ben Yaacov, Pablo Destic and Ehud Hrushovski, where we lay foundations of globally valued fields and relate them to Arakelov geometry and to Banach lattices. Globally valued fields (abbreviated...

Algebra seminar - Guy Fowler
13:00 - 14:00 22 October 2024
Title: Unlikely intersections in algebraic groups Abstract: Given a subvariety V of an algebraic group G, the Zilber--Pink conjecture concerns the intersections of V with the torsion cosets of algebraic subgroups of G. The conjecture predicts, in some precise sense, that it is unlikely for these intersections...

Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Thomas Bloom
14:00 - 15:00 22 October 2024
Speaker: Thomas Bloom (University of Manchester) Title: Numbers with small digits in multiple bases Abstract: An old conjecture of Graham asks whether there are infinitely many integers n such that \binom{2n}{n} is coprime to 105. This is equivalent to asking whether there are infinitely many integers...

PSI Seminar: Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometers at ISOLDE
11:00 - 12:00 18 October 2024
Join us for this PSI seminar with guest speaker Dr Lukas Nies. Measuring atomic masses allows us to draw conclusions on the structure and properties of the atomic nucleus, and thus, mass spectrometry has played a big role in nuclear physics studies. Over many decades, various mass measurement techniques...
