“Series parallel posets and NU polymorphisms”
In this talk I will try to explain what series parallel posets are and how to find 5-ary NU polymorphism on them.
QNC 1507
Michael Deveau, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
“Hereditarily Finite Superstructures - Part 2”
Benjamin Hayes, Vanderbilt University
“Fuglede-Kadison determinants and sofic entropy”
Michael Wibmer, University of Pennsylvania
“Groups defined by algebraic difference equations”
Francesco Sala, Kavli Institute for the Physics and the Mathematics of the Universe
“Moduli spaces and stacks of sheaves on resolutions of toric singularities”
Hongdi Huang, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
"Hopf Modules and Integrals"
Let $H$ be a hopf algebra. We will prove the fundamental theorem of $H$ hopf modules. After that we investigate the connection between integrals and the rational part of $H^*$.
Stefan Steinerberger, Yale University
“Mysterious New Interactions between Analysis and Number Theory”
Bradd Hart, University of McMaster
"Logical unification"
I will talk on preliminary work on the role of [0,1]-valued
logic in unifying the growing number of first order logics. In
particular, elementary classes in [0,1]-valued logic are CATs in the
sense of Ben Yaacov and the class of von Neumann algebras with faithful
actions on Hilbert spaces form an elementary class.

“Proportion of zeros of combinations of derivatives of Riemann-Xi function on the critical line”
Satish Pandey, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
"The Dinitz Problem and Five-Colouring Plane Graphs"
G. H. Hardy firmly believed that there is no permanent place for ugly Mathematics. Following his dictum, Paul Erdos liked to talk about "The Book" in which God maintains the perfect proofs for mathematical theorems. This talk is an attempt to explore Erdos' idea of perfect proofs, and the territory we choose to explore is graph theory.

“Towards a model theory of almost complex manifolds”
Edward Lee and Ilia Chtcherbakov, University of Waterloo
“Topos Theory VI”
We finish off chapter 6 of Goldblatt: we discuss logical semantics in the context of an arbitrary topos. We then begin chapter 5: we see some first categorical properties of topoi.

“The grand scheme of things”
Kanstantsin Pashkovich, Combinatorics & Optimization, University of Waterloo
"Four Dimensional Polytopes of Minimum Positive Semidefinite Rank"
For a given polytope the smallest size of a semidefinite extended
formulation can be bounded from below by the dimension of the polytope
plus one. This talk is about polytopes for which this bound is tight,
i.e. polytopes with positive semidefinite (psd) rank equal to their
dimension plus one.
Aaron Tikuisis, University of Aberdeen
“C*-algebras: quasidiagonality and amenability”
Christopher Hawthorne, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
“Continuous model theory IV”
We begin section 5 of Model theory for metric structures; we present ultraproducts and, time permitting, compactness.

“The Adjacency Relation”
We will show that the adjacency relation is structurally complete in linear orders, by expressing rice relations in terms of universal sentences over it.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
