Manchester Number Theory Seminar - Cassani
Speaker: Cassani Title: The Pila-Zannier strategy and the Zilber-Pink conjecture Abstract: I will explain how the Pila-Zannier strategy plays out in the context of the Zilber-Pink conjecture for connected pure Shimura varieties. This extends Daw-Ren2018 from algebraic curves to irreducible varieties of arbitrary dimension. Room: Frank Adams...
AI-Fun Seminar | Neill Campbell: Generative models as priors for inverse problems
The Manchester Centre for AI Fundamentals is hosting a series of seminars featuring expert researchers working in the fundamentals of AI. Title: Generative models as priors for inverse problems. Abstract: We will discuss the use of generative models in the regularisation of inverse problems involving both appearance and shape as well as the...
Logic seminar: Dugald Macpherson
Title: Ultrahomogeneous tensor spaces – after Harman and Snowden Abstract: I will discuss aspects of `Ultrahomogeneous tensor spaces’ (Advances, 2024) by Nate Harman and Andrew Snowden --- part of a major body of work by them connecting model theory (specifically, omega-categoricity and variants) with tensor categories. This particular paper...

Manchester Geometry Seminar - Nicolas Manrique
Speaker: Nicolas Manrique (Imperial College) Title: A non-linear spectrum for the Plateau problem Abstract: The production of minimal surfaces by min-max methods has seen immense progress in the past decade, culminating in the resolution by Song of Yau’s conjecture on the existence of infinitely many closed minimal surfaces in any closed...
