Student algebra seminar

Speaker

Robert Garbary, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

Tuesday, May 22, 2012 10:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Student Number Theory seminar

Yen-Liang Kuan, National Central University, Taiwan

“On the distribution of torsion points modulo primes.”

Abstract:

Let A be a commutative algebraic group defined over a number field K. For a prime ℘ in K where A has good reduction, let N℘,n be the number of n-torsion F℘-rational points of the reduction of A modulo ℘ where F℘ is the residue field of ℘ and n is a positive integer. When A is of dimension one and n is relative prime to a fixed finite set of primes depending on A/K, we determine the average values of N℘,n as the prime ℘ varies.

Zariski Geometries working seminar

Omar Leon Sanchez Pure Mathematics Department University of Waterloo

“Morley rank is finite in Zariski structures”

Abstract:

We will see why the title of the talk is true. More specifically, if Q is definable set in a Zariski structure then RM(Q) ≤ dimQ.

Zariski Geometries working seminar

Matthew Harrison-Trainor, Pure Mathematics Department University of Waterloo

“One dimensional Zariski geometries”

We will introduce three axioms on a Noetherian topological structure which, together with the Krull dimension, are sufficient to make the topological structure a one-dimensional presmooth Zariski structure. We will show that such a structure has quantifier elimination, and satisfies the addition formula AF if the fibre condition FC holds.

Constraint Satisfaction seminar

Ross Willard, Pure Mathematics Department, University of Waterloo

"Solving group constraints"

This is the first lecture in an ongoing learning seminar devoted to learning some recent algorithms for "fixed finite template" constraint satisfaction problems. In this lecture I will give a quick introduction to these problems, and then describe an algorithm for problems whose constraints are cosets of subgroups of powers of a fixed group Wednesday.

Geometry working seminar

Omitting Partial Types and Hyperimmune Degrees

We will show that hyperimmune degrees are able to omit non-principal partial types, and in fact are the only such types. By seeing that this proof can be carried out in RCA0, we will show that omitting partial types and the existence of hyperimmune degrees are equivalent over RCA0.
