September 29, 11:40 Room N-130 Speaker: Alexander Rashkovskii (University of Stavanger, Norway) Title: Pluricomplex Green functions Abstract: The standard notion of Green’s functions for linear differential operators cannot be used directly in multidimensional complex analysis. Instead, several different concepts were introduced by choosing specific fundamental solutions of the (highly non-linear) complex Monge-Ampère equation. I will […]

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

Meistaraprófsfyrirlestur: Sigurður Jens Albertsson

Meistaraprófsfyrirlestur /

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

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
