Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Daniel Fernandez, University of Iceland Titill: Information geometry and Holography Staðsetning: V-158, VRII Tími: Mánudaginn 5. desember kl. 15:00 Ágrip: Information Geometry allows for families of probability distributions to be imbued with a natural measure: the Fisher metric. In particular, it is possible to define a Fisher metric on the instanton

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Hermann Þórisson Titill: On the Skorohod Representation Staðsetning: Naustið, Tæknigarði Tími: Þriðjudaginn 11. október kl. 12:30-14:00 Ágrip: According to the Skorohod representation theorem, convergence in distribution to a limit in a separable set is equivalent to the existence of a coupling with elements converging a.s. in the metric. A density analogue

Meistaraprófsfyrirlestur Arnbjörg Soffía Árnadóttir Titill: Grúpuverkanir á óendanleg stefnd net og hlutbrautafallið Staðsetning: Naustið, Endurmenntun. Tímasetning: Fimmtudagur 6. október 2016, klukkan 16:00. Ágrip: Við notum grúpuverkanir til þess að skoða óendanleg stefnd net. Við byrjum á því að skilgreina grúpumótun sem við köllum hlutbrautafallið. Við notum svo þessa mótun til þess að skoða ýmsa eiginleika óendanlegra

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: Séverine Biard, University of Iceland Titill: On pseudoconvex domains and some of their applications Staðsetning: V-158, VRII Tími: Mánudaginn 10. október kl. 15:00 Ágrip: One of the most commonly studied object in several complex variables is pseudoconvex domains, which I will introduce. Domains of holomorphy in , they are studied in
