Gas in between galaxies produces a forest of absorption lines in the spectra of bright objects such as distant quasars. This "Lyman-alpha forest" arises due to absorption by a sprinkling of neutral hydrogen in the otherwise highly ionised intergalactic gas, with many  lines forming in mildly over dense, or indeed under dense intervening structures. These modest fluctuations can be simulated quite accurately, and comparing mock spectra to the exquisitely high resolution and high signal-to-noise observed spectra allows tight constraints on the nature of the absorbers.

In this talk, I will concentrate on what such as comparison tells up about the temperature and ionisation state of the gas, and explain how these measurements can also put tight constraints on any free streaming due to warm dark matter.

Given a knot K in the 3-sphere, we use Heegaard Floer correction terms to give lower bounds on the first Betti number of (orientable and non-orientable) surfaces in the 4-ball with boundary K. An amusing feature of the non-orientable bound is its superadditivity with respect to connected sums. This is joint work with Marco Marengon. If time permits, I will discuss relations with deformations of singularities of curves (joint work with József Bodnár and Daniele Celoria).

We will have a “mingle” meeting. There will be updates from Kristine and Per on the running of the institute. But fear not, there will also be plenty of time for informal chat and eating of cake. All are welcome to the lobby on the first floor.

Our first statistics course warns us about making predictions beyond the observed range of data. What that means exactly is difficult to say though when we use more complex models with link functions, higher order effects and interactive terms. We discuss a quantitative method for assessing bias when extrapolating.
