When: Friday, November 1, at 11:40 Where: Room 156 in VR-II Speaker: Bergur Snorrason (University of Iceland) Title: The Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem Abstract: An important topic in complex analysis is polynomial approximation. We will look at classic results regarding polynomial approximation, culminating in the Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem, which leverages pluripotential theory to relate analytic continuation to polynomial approximations.

When: Friday, October 25, at 11:40 Where: Room 156 in VR-II Speaker: Bergur Snorrason (University of Iceland) Title: Generalizing Siciak’s product formula Abstract: In pluripotential theory, the Siciak-Zakharyuta extremal functions are well studied. Siciak described how the Siciak-Zakharyuta function associated to a cartesian product relates to the Siciak-Zakharytua functions associated to each of the terms in

Fyrirlesari: Bergur Snorrason, HÍ Titill: Methods of approximation and their place in pluripotential theory Staðsetning og tími: VR-II 156, föstudaginn 18. oct, kl 11:40 Ágrip: We will discuss several approximation operators and how they can be used to show the regularity of certain extremal functions from pluripotential theory. The tools behind these operators include integral

Speaker: Alexia Nix, University of Iceland Date: October 18 Time: 15.00 Place: VRII-156 Title: Wilson loops and precision holography Abstract: The main objective of this talk is the study of holography beyond the conformal paradigm. A specific example of this is realized through the study of 1/2-BPS Wilson loops in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on

Speaker: Vyshnav Mohan Date: October 16 Time: 13.00 Place: Oddi-203 Title: Complexity, Bulk Reconstruction, and Semiclassical Black Holes Abstract: Quantum computational complexity is an information-theoretic measure that probes the finer details of the Hilbert space of a quantum system. We will study two of its avatars: Krylov complexity and holographic complexity. We will then show
