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...

Heilbronn Algebra Seminar - Matt Westaway
14:00 - 15:00 17 February 2026
Title: Quantizations of nilpotent orbits in positive characteristic Abstract: Nilpotent coadjoint orbits in a reductive Lie algebra play an important role in the representation theory of Lie algebras, especially over fields of positive characteristic. One definition of a nilpotent orbit is an orbit...

Maths education seminar: Mark MacDonald on embedding groupwork throughout the maths curriculum
14:00 - 15:00 16 February 2026
Speaker: Mark MacDonald (Lancaster University) Title: Embedding groupwork throughout the maths curriculum Abstract: Traditional mathematical coursework is now usually susceptible to AI-misuse, to the detriment of student learning. Groupwork exercises and projects in mathematics are potentially more AI-resistant...
