Málstofa: Gordon Slade

Málstofa 12 september, kl. 10:50 (athugið óvenjulega tímasetningu!) Fyrirlesari: Gordon Slade (University of British Columbia)Titill: Self-avoiding walk, spin systems, and renormalisationÁgrip: The subject of critical phenomena in statistical mechanics is a rich source of interesting and difficult mathematical problems that touch oncombinatorics, probability, and mathematical physics. Self-avoiding walks and lattice spin systems provide fundamental examples. This […]

Málstofa: Gabor Elek

Næsta málstofa verður þriðjudaginn 25. apríl kl 13:20 í Naustinu, húsi Endurmenntunar. Fyrirlesari er Gabor Elek, Lancaster University. Titill fyrirlestrarins er Very fast graph algorithms. Ágrip: Interesting graph parameters are very hard to compute, that is, the known computation algorithms run in exponential times. Unfortunately, we don’t have that much time…. However, for certain important

Málstofa: Friðrik Freyr Gautason

Næsta málstofa verður þriðjudaginn 21. mars kl 13:20 í Naustinu, húsi Endurmenntunar. Fyrirlesari er Friðrik Freyr Gautason, Háskóla Íslands. Titill fyrirlestrarins er Localization and the AdS/CFT correspondence. Ágrip: When studying quantum systems of particles and their interactions, we are often interested in computing the so-called partition function which is a generating function for physical observables.
