Abstract: For the ax+b semigroup over the natural numbers, which is known to be part of a quasi-lattice ordered group, Laca and Raeburn considered its Nica-Toeplitz algebra and its Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebra, with a special appeal to nice presentations by generators and relations as well as the structure of KMS states for a natural dynamics. Shortly thereafter, Brownlowe-an Huef-Laca-Raeburn showed that there are two intermediate quotients between the Nica-Toeplitz algebra and the Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebra that exhibit interesting structural properties, especially with regards to KMS states. Since then, analogous quotients have been considered (partly in disguise) in a growing list of case studies on the KMS state structure, e.g. for dilation matrices, self-similar actions, and Baumslag-Solitair monoids. Somewhat surprisingly, all these case studies can be viewed from the perspective of semigroup C*-algebras of right LCM semigroups, and in this talk, I shall describe a unifying perspective on such boundary quotient diagrams. Thereby several questions concerning the general structure of right LCM semigroups are raised.

Go effectively models physics itself: The game has an enormous amount of complexity and is full of beautiful and mind-boggling phenomena. In spite of this, there are only a small number of rules to the game. A study of go can help one with pattern recognition, logical determinism, strategic planning, and concentration. As physicists are becoming more and more proficient in using sophisticated statistics and computer science for their studies, they may be inspired by an ultra recent advancement in computer learning: For the first time, a computer has beaten a professional player in go. Last but not least, go is a ton of fun.

Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday February 22nd @ 12:15 in aud. 1 in the Geology building.

Syksy Räsänen University researcher at the  University of Helsinki, Department of Physics, Division of Particle Physics and Astrophysics 

This Friday the 26th of February we will discuss a paper from Sieg at al. 2009: "Mammalian metabolic allometry: do intraspecific variation, phylogeny, and regression models matter?"

Please mind the change of location, we will be permanently moving to the "Aquarium" (3rd floor, 3302). 

This week we will look at a paper that investigated the connection between autocorrelation and individual heterogeneity, as well as the consequences of ignoring them. Furthermore, we will discuss how to handle these two issues, particularly BEFORE diving too deep into analyses.

Upcoming short presentation from MSc/PhD students in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Christine Smith-Johnsen

Title: Parametrisation of energetic particle precipitation in WACCM

Supervisor: Yvan Orsolini and Frode Stordal

This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper on how gene flow from North Africa contributes to differential human genetic diversity in southern Europe, by Botigué et al. 2013

Upcoming seminar in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Greg Thompson, (NCAR)

Title: A numerical weather model's ability to predict aircraft and ground icing environments

Upcoming short presentation from MSc/PhD students in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Imme Benedict (Wageningen University, the Netherlands)

Title: Atmospheric Rivers, Large Scale Pre-conditioning and Extreme Precipitation Over Norway
