Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Elvira Lupoian
15:00 - 16:00 24 February 2026
Speaker: Elvira Lupoian (UCL) Title: Torsion subgroups of modular Jacobians Abstract: In 1977 Mazur proved that the rational torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of the modular curve X_0( N), N > 5 prime, is generated by the linear equivalence class of the difference of the two cusps. More generally, it...

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Vicente Saavedra Araya
23 February - 7 March 2026
Speaker: Vicente Saavedra Araya (University of Warwick) Title: Pointwise ergodic theorems along random sequences Abstract: A central problem in ergodic theory is to understand which sequences of integers are suitable for the pointwise convergence of ergodic averages. In seminal work, Bourgain showed...

SQUIDS Seminar: Kernel Quantile Embeddings and Associated Probability Metrics
13:00 - 14:00 18 February 2026
Speaker: Dr Masha Naslidnyk (University College London) Abstract: Embedding probability distributions into reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS) has enabled powerful non-parametric methods such as the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), a statistical distance with strong theoretical and computational...

Logic Seminar - Mervyn Tong
15:00 - 16:00 18 February 2026
Speaker: Mervyn Tong (University of Cambridge) Higher-arity distality and hypergraph regularity In recent years, the intersection of model theory and combinatorics has been a fertile ground for research. One notable example concerns the Szemerédi regularity lemma, a pivotal result in combinatorics...
