16:00 - TALK - Mathematics and Statistics Colloquium : How big is the n-th prime?
|
More Information
|
Abstract: There is a striking connection between the zeroes of the Riemann zeta-function and the distribution of the primes. In this talk I shall mention some analytic properties of the zeta-function that when known explicitly enable one to estimate, very accurately, the size of the n-th prime (...)

16:00 - SEMINAR - Mathematics and Statistics colloquium : Bounding the number of symmetries of a graph
|
More Information
|
Graphs (also called networks) with a high degree of symmetry are particularly nice objects to study mathematically. When studying the symmetries of a graph it is often useful to look at the local symmetries, that is, those that fix a particular vertex. An important question then becomes whether (...)
