Seminar Archive - 2018

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

Thomas Morrill - UNSW Canberra
Overpartitions arise as a way to give combinatorial interpretation of the coefficients of $q$-hypergeometric series. We generalize the first and second Frobenius representations of overpartitions...

Rubén Campoy - University of Alicante (Spain)
Projection algorithms are powerful tools for finding common points in a collection of sets. The convergence of these algorithms to a point in the intersection is guaranteed, provided that the...

Ian Doust - University of New South Wales
There is an extensive and classical theory concerning the structure of Hilbert or Banach space operators which admit a $C(\sigma(T))$ functional calculus. A similar but weaker theory was developed in...

Dr Bishakhdatta Gayen - Australian National University
The general ocean circulation, of crucial importance to the global climate, involves fluid motion on scales ranging from turbulence, internal waves, eddies and fronts, planetary Rossby waves and...

Peng Gao - Beihang University, China
Let $c$ be a square-free Gaussian integer such that $c$ is congruent to 1 modulo 16. For fixed real $\sigma>1/2$, we show that there is an asymptotic distribution function $F_{\sigma}$ for the...

Masaki Izumi - Kyoto University
A von Neumann algebra is a weakly closed *-subalgebra of the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, and a factor is a von Neumann algebra with trivial center. In 1977, Connes-Takesaki...

Peter Bradshaw and David Warton - University of Bristol (Peter Bradshaw) and UNSW (David Warton)
The goal of this information session is to give some insight into the application process for PhD positions in Australia and overseas. Applying for PhD programs is a complex process, from finding the...

Oliver Junge - TU München
Transport and mixing properties of aperiodic flows are crucial to a dynamical analysis of the flow, and often have to be carried out with limited information. Finite-time coherent sets are regions of...

Björn Winckler - Imperial College London
In this talk I will discuss renormalization of low-dimensional dynamical systems and associated phenomena such as universality and rigidity.  The first part of the talk will be an introduction to the...
