 Tue 9 Dec 202514:00 - 15:30 |  GAnG Seminar: Rishi Mouland from Imperial College London - Phases of 2d Gauge Theories and Symmetric Mass Generation  Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation Title: Phases of 2d Gauge Theories and Symmetric Mass Generation Abstract: I will review the motivation and aims of symmetric mass generation (SMG), whereby fermions are gapped while preserving a chiral but necessarily non-anomalous symmetry. A simple model of SMG will be described, which leverages strongly-coupled gauge dynamics. I will then use CFT tools alongside bosonisation to derive the phase diagrams of a series of 2d Abelian gauge theories, including the 2d SMG model, in doing... |
| Wed 10 Dec 2025 13:00 - 14:00 | Seminar: Jeremiah Buckley (KCL): Sampling properties of the zeroes of the GEF Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science The GEF is a random entire function, which is (essentially) the only holomorphic Gaussian process whose zeroes are invariant with respect to automorphisms of the plane (i.e., rotations and translations). Moreover the zeroes are locally repulsive... |
| Wed 10 Dec 2025 13:30 - 15:00 |  Seminar: Dominika Vasilkova (Liverpool) - muon g-2/EDM @FermiLab/PSICentre for Fundamental Physics Details TBC 13:30-14:00 - In person refreshments 14:00-15:00 - seminar |
| Thu 11 Dec 2025 13:00 - 14:00 | Seminar: Thomas Schreiber (Stuttgart): A Transfer Entropy Story Centre for Complex Systems This talk will be centered around the concept of transfer entropy, as introduced some 25 years ago. An insider's recollection will be presented that outlines the irritation that eventually led to its definition. An outsider's view will then be given... |

| Fri 12 Dec 2025 14:00 - 15:00 | Seminar: Sonja Greven (HU Berlin): Principal component analysis in Bayes spaces for sparsely sampled density functions Centre for Probability, Statistics and Data Science This paper presents a novel approach to functional principal component analysis (FPCA) in Bayes spaces in the setting where densities are the object of analysis, but only few individual samples from each density are observed. We use the observed... |

Abstract: Fungal pathogens are an emerging threat to human health and food security. Very few fungicides are available and resistance to these is rising. It is a long-standing challenge to develop new antifungals. As eukaryotic pathogens, fungi offer very few selective drug targets and we urgently need new strategies for antifungal development. Ascomycete yeasts – such as... |
| Thu 19 Feb 2026 13:00 - 14:00 | Seminar: Luke Davis (U Edinburgh): Stochastic geometry of active matter Centre for Complex Systems For equilibrium hard spheres the stochastic geometry of the insertion space, the room to accommodate another sphere, relates exactly to the equation of state. We begin to extend this idea to active matter, analyzing insertion space for repulsive... |
