Our regular seminar program covers a broad range of topics from applied mathematics, pure mathematics and statistics. All welcome, especially students. A complete list of past seminars can be accessed via the left-hand menu.

Thomas Westerbäck

The theory of linear codes over finite fields has long been strengthened by combinatorial theory, and matroid theory has shown to be particularly well suited for providing a theoretical foundation for these codes. Complete descriptions have been...

The canonical commutation relations (CCR's) are at the foundation of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. To properly analyse the CCR's, which involve unbounded operators, we encode them in a C$^*$-algebra. This C*-algebra however, is not...

As big data sets have become more common the interest in finding and understanding patterns in them has grown. A classical question on patterns (i.e. configurations), known as the Erdos distinct distance problem, asks what is the least number of...

In the counting constraint satisfaction problem (#CSP), we wish to know how  many ways there are to satisfy a given system of constraints on a set of variables, where a constraint is  a relation chosen from a fixed finite set. This...
