Series of lectures by women in science and technology at the University of Iceland

Félag kvenna og kvára í stærðfræði og eðlisfræði kynna fyrirlestra þar sem konur við Verkfræði- og náttúrufræðisvið Háskóla Íslands kynna rannsóknir sínar og/eða kennslu. Haldnir verða tveir 20 mínútna fyrirlestrar hverju sinni og tími verður fyrir spurningar og spjall í lokin. Við hefjum leikinn næstkomandi mánudag, 30 janúar kl 12:30 (í VRII 157) með Ásdísi

Jakob Björnberg

[:is] Math Phys seminar Fyrirlesari: Jakob Björnberg, Chalmers University of Technology Titill: Random permutations and Heisenberg models. Ágrip: We discuss probabilistic representations of certain quantum spin systems, including the ferromagnetic Heisenberg model, in terms of random permutations. Properties of the cycle structure of the random permutations are connected with phase transitions in the spin-system.  In

[:is] Math Phys seminar Fyrirlesari: Daniel Fernández Moreno, Háskóli Íslands Titill: The philosophy of emergent spacetime Staðsetning: HB5 (Háskólabíó) Tími: Föstudag 18.oktúber kl. 11:40 Ágrip: One of the most startling observations in recent theoretical physics is that certain phenomena are better described as resulting from a higher dimensional spacetime. The gauge-gravity correspondence projects them into
