Tyrone Ghaswala, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Morita Theory III: The Progeny Returns”

I will continue our discussion about generators and progenerators, resisting the urge to make extremely intelligent and witty jokes about going pro or supporting electricity production.

MC 5403

Stanley Xiao, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“More on the Beurling-Selberg function”

Rahim Moosa, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Algebraically closed valued fields”

I will give an introduction and overview of the model theoretic approach to valued fields.

MC 5403

Raymond Cheng, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Hilbert Objects, First Examples”

I will reveal the secrets of the Hilbert function, speak of the Hilbert polynomial and then talk more about the Hilbert scheme. As an example of a Hilbert scheme, we talk about the Grassmannian.

MC 5403

Ed Vrscay, Department of Applied Math, University of Waterloo

“Generalized fractal transforms, contraction maps and associated inverse problems”

Jonathan Stephenson, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Lowness Notions”

We will continue our study of the relationships between different lowness notions. Each such notion captures the idea of a real number having minimal computational power according to some criterion.

Matilde Lalin, University of Montreal

“The distribution of points on cyclic l-covers of genus g”

Ian Payne, Department of Pure Mathematics,  University of Waterloo

“A result on constraint satisfaction problems: part 2”

I will continue with an introduction to constraint satisfaction problems and some basic consistency notions. If time permits (and it should), I will start talking about 2-semilattices and how Bulatov handled their CSP earlier this century.

Emily Redelmeier

will speak about

“Combinatorics and Asymptotics of Matrix Cumulants, and Connections to Second-Order Freeness ”
