Algebra seminar - Marina Anagnostopoulou-Merkouri
14:00 - 15:00 25 March 2025
Title: The regularity number of a finite group Abstract: Let $G$ be a transitive permutation group on a finite set $\Omega$ with point stabiliser $H$. Recall that a base for $G$ is a subset of $\Omega$ whose pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial. The minimal size of a base is called the base size of...

AI-Fun with ELLIS Seminar | Yusuf Sale: Online Selective Conformal Inference: Errors and Solutions
14:00 - 15:00 25 March 2025
Title: Online Selective Conformal Inference: Errors and Solutions Abstract: Conformal inference provides a principled way to construct prediction intervals with guaranteed coverage. However, in online selective conformal inference, where predictions are made only when a selection rule is met, things...

Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Martin Orr
15:00 - 16:00 25 March 2025
Speaker: Martin Orr (University of Manchester) Title: Effectivity and very unlikely intersections in abelian varieties using G-functions Abstract: A special case of the Zilber-Pink conjecture, proved by Habegger and Pila, states that a generic curve C in an abelian variety A has only finitely many...

Training Course on Advanced Scripting and Batching of Tomographic Datasets
24 - 25 March 2025
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow...

Dynamical Systems and Analysis Seminar - Daniel Meyer
24 March - 1 May 2025
Speaker: Daniel Meyer (University of Liverpool) Title: Weaving of Folding Maps Abstract: A folding map is obtained by a piece of paper (i.e., a $k$-gon) that is folded and mapped to itself. Such a map may be obtained from a real rational map where $z/in /mathbb{C}$ and its complex conjugate $\bar{z}$...
