Algebra seminar

Jason Bell, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Etale Groupoid algebras, I”

The purpose of these lectures is to go over recent work of Ben Steinberg on Etale groupoid algebras, which can be viewed as purely algebraic analogues of etale groupoid C

Logic seminar

Barbara Csima, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Isomorphisms of Computable Structures”

We say a structure is computable (or computably presented) if it has domain the natural numbers, and if all functions, relations and constants are uniformly computable.

Geometry working seminar

Michael Baker, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"A motivated introduction to sheaves"

Sheaves are structures that keep track of local information attached to the open sets of a topological space. They also appear in the definition of a scheme. After discussing a few familiar examples, the concepts of presheaf and sheaf will be defined, along with the appropriate notion of morphism between such objects. If time permits, stalks and sheafification will be discussed.

Pure Math colloquium

Vern Paulsen, University of Houston

“Operator Algebras and Nevanlinna-Pick Interpolation”

Given points z1,...,zn and w1,...,wn

Computability learning seminar

Sam Eisenstat, Department of Pure Mathematics University of Waterloo

“Background for Computable Abelian Group Theory (continued)”

We finish our discussion of definitions in computable model theory, looking at the complexity of presentations of structures and isomorphisms between structures.

Algebra learning seminar

Julian Rosen, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Projective modules, continued”

Last time, projective modules were introduced. We proved that free modules are projective, and conversely a projective module is always a direct summand of a free module.

Geometry working seminar

Blake Madill, Pure Mathematics Department, University of Waterloo

“Introduction to the Structure Sheaf”

In this week’s seminar, we come one step closer to understanding schemes.

Analysis seminar

Mahmood Alaghmandan, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Amenability properties of  Hypergroups"

A hypergroup is a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a convolution product which maps any two points to a probability measure with a compact support. Hypergroups generalize locally compact groups in which the above convolution reduces to a point mass measure.

Algebra seminar

Omar Leon Sanchez, McMaster University    

“Effective bounds of finite solution sets of PDPE’s”

In this talk we will consider the following problem: Suppose we have a system p1(x) = ...

Geometry working seminar

“The second fundamental form”

When an immersed submanifold of a Riemannian manifold is endowed with the induced metric it is called a Riemannian submanifold.
