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

Þriðjudaginn 30. maí kl 14:00 í stofur 158 í VRII mun Sigurður Jens Albertsson halda fyrirlestur um meistaraverkefni sitt. Titill fyrirlestrarins er Transforming linear recurrences with homomorphisms. Ágrip: Linear recurrences and linear differential equations can be expressed as ring elements annihilating vectors. This formulation is applied to study effects of homomorphisms on these equations. It
