Rikkyo University
Brauer groups and Neron-Severi groups of surfaces over finite fields

October 6, 2025 - 11:00 am to 12:00 pm

For a smooth and proper surface over a finite field, the formula of Artin and Tate relates the behavior of the zeta-function at 1 to other invariants of the surface. We give a version which equates invariants only depending on the Brauer group to invariants only depending on ... Read more

Algebraic models for functor calculus

October 7, 2025 - 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm

There is a striking and useful analogy between equivariant homotopy theory and functor calculus. In the equivariant setting, Greenlees conjectured that the category of rational G-spectra has an algebraic model - meaning it is equivalent to the derived category of an abelian ... Read more

Math-Bio: Mathematical Models of Tobacco Use Dynamics: Products, Flavors, and Networks

October 8, 2025 - 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

ESB 4133

Mathematical biology offers powerful tools to tackle pressing problems at the interface of health and public policy. In this talk, I will share two vignettes demonstrating how mathematical and simulation modelling can be applied to tobacco regulatory science. The first uses a ... Read more

Restriction theory, signal recovery and applications

October 10, 2025 - 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

ESB 2012 and Zoom

A classical problem in signal recovery is to determine whether a finite signal can be recovered from its Fourier transform with missing values. This problem has been studied by many authors starting with the seminal papers by Matolsci and Szuks in the 70s and Donoho and Stark ... Read more
