[: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 […]

[:is]Math phys colloquium Fyrirlesari: Emil Have, University of Edinburgh Titill: Newton-Cartan Submanifolds and Biophysical (Fluid) Membranes Staðsetning: L-201 LögbergTími: Þriðjudag 8.oktúber kl. 11:00 Ágrip: Originally developed to provide a geometric foundation for Newtonian gravity, Newton-Cartan geometry and its torsionful generalization have recently experienced a revival of interest, particularly in the contexts of non-AdS holography and
[:is]Math colloquium Fyrirlesari: Henning Arnór Úlfarsson, Háskólinn í Reykjavík Titill: Pattern avoidance in various domains Staðsetning: HB5 (Háskólabíó)Tími: Föstudag 25.oktúber kl. 11:40 Ágrip: When one searches the web for „pattern avoidance“ most of the results are about pattern avoiding permutations and their variants, such as colored, partial, multi-, affine, signed, and poset permutations. However there

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the University of Iceland financed by The Icelandic Research Fund. The research project is called: „Scaling limits of random enriched trees“ and is in the field of probabilistic combinatorics. The project includes studying scaling limits of random graphs, statistical mechanical models on random planar maps and related
