Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Bjarki Ágúst Guðmundsson, University of Iceland Titill: Enumerating permutations sortable by k passes through a pop-stack Staðsetning: VRII-158 Tími: Mánudagur 18. september kl. 15:00 Ágrip: In an exercise in the first volume of his famous series of books, Knuth considered sorting permutations by passing them through a stack. He noted that,

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Nuno Romao, IHES Titill: Vortex moduli and the physics of gauged sigma-models Staðsetning: Naustið, Endurmenntun Tími: Föstudagur 15. september kl. 13:30 Ágrip: Vortices appear as static and stable solutions in field theories known as gauged sigma-models; these are defined on surfaces and can have both linear and nonlinear targets. I will

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Uwe Leck and Ian Roberts, University of Flensburg and Darwin Titill: Extremal problems for finite sets related to antichains Staðsetning: Tg-227 (Tæknigarður, 2. hæð) Tími: Föstudagur 1. september kl. 13:30 Ágrip: This talk requires little more than mathematical maturity as it relates to problems concerning finite sets. The basic ideas are

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Marston Conder, University of Auckland Titill: Experimental Algebra and Combinatorics Staðsetning: Tg-227 (Tæknigarður, 2. hæð) Tími: Fimmtudagur 13. júlí kl. 11:00 Ágrip: Some 40 years after the computer-based proof of the 4-Colour Theorem by Appel and Haken, there is still a degree of healthy skepticism about the use of computers to

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Daniel Fernandez Moreno, University of Iceland Titill: Entanglement entropy at non-equilibrium in holography Staðsetning: Tg-227 (Tæknigarður, 2. hæð) Tími: Föstudagur 7. júlí kl. 13:20 Ágrip: In recent years, holographic models have proved to be successful at studying far-from-equilibrium physics. This provides a new approach to studying quantum quenches in strongly coupled

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Christopher Kellett, University of Newcastle (Australia) Titill: Back and Forth in Lyapunov’s Second Method: Non-Uniform Subtleties Staðsetning: Tg-227 (Tæknigarður, 2. hæð) Tími: Fimmtudagur 6. júlí kl. 13:20 Ágrip: Lyapunov’s second or direct method provides an easy-to-check sufficient condition for stability properties of equilibria. The converse question – given a stability property,

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Peter J. Olver, University of Minnesota Titill: Equivalence, Invariants, Puzzles, and Cancer Staðsetning: Tg-227 (Tæknigarður, 2. hæð) Tími: Föstudagur 9. júní kl. 16:00 Ágrip: A fundamental issue in computer vision is recognizing when two objects in an image are the „same“. The underlying mathematical apparatus for studying such equivalence problems is
