October 4, 12:20 Room VRII-258 Speaker: Francesco Coghi (NORDITA) Title: A journey into large deviation theory Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce the basic ideas to study fluctuations and rare events in physical sciences through the lens of large deviation theory. After introducing some examples, I will go through the historical landmarks of the …
Á þriðjudaginn næsta, 26. september kl. 11:00, mun Arngunnur Einarsdóttir kynna meistraprófsritgerð sýna. Fyrirlesturinn fer fram í 422 í Árnagarði. Titill: Convergence of power series in several complex variables Ágrip: This MS thesis is a study of convergence sets of power series. In one complex variable it is simple to describe the convergence, for if …

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 …
September 22, 11:40 Room N-130 Speaker: Herman Servatius (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) Title: Rigidity and movability of configurations in the projective plane. Abstract: Configurations of points and lines in the plane have a long history. The Theorem of Pappus from the fourth century begins a classical theory that has been advanced by Desargues, Pascal, Cayley, Steinitz, …

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 …
Fyrsta málstofa vetrarins verður 8 september, 11:40, í N-130Fyrirlesari: Rögnvaldur Möller (Háskóla Íslands) Titill: Planting, growing and felling trees in group theoryÁgrip: Trees and group actions on trees play an important role in many branches of group theory: Bass-Serre theory is one of the cornerstones of geometric group theory, the automorphism groups of a regular …
Næsta málstofa verður þriðjudaginn 13. júní kl 13:20 í Naustinu, húsi Endurmenntunar. Fyrirlesari er Dana C. Ernst (Northern Arizona University). Titill fyrirlestrarins er Enumerating signed permutations by reversal distance. Ágrip: A signed permutation is a permutation of the numbers 1 through $n$ in which each number is signed. A reversal of a signed permutation is …
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 …
