The 2nd International Conference on New Frontiers in Physics (ICNFP2013) will be held 27.08-06.09.2013 in OAC, Kolymbari, Crete.

I'll review some basic ideas about topological Andre-Quillen theory and how it relates to E-infinity cell structures. As applications I'll discuss a new approach to calculating TAQ for HF_p and HZ, and various other recent results. These make heavy use of Dyer-Lashof operations and the coaction of the dual Steenrod algebra.   

Friday seminar by Peter J. Fashing & Nga Nguyen

Eamon Michael Scullion, postdoktor, Institutt for teoretisk astrofysikk

This term the seminar will take place in Room GA 06 7166 in Ole-Johan Dahls hus. 

Time: Thursday 10.15 - 12.00

Access to the seminar room is restricted, and requires a university identity card with right of access encoded.

Active participants with new UiO identity cards should contact Dag Normann in order to obtain access.

Occasionally, we will meet in B62 in NHA.

Two candidates for associate professor in semiconductor physics will hold an open trial lecture on electromagnetics.

This week we will discuss "The Hologenomic Basis of Speciation: Gut Bacteria Cause Hybrid Lethality in the Genus Nasonia" by Brucker and Bordenstein 2013 Science 341:667-669 

Yusuke Isono  from the University of Tokyo will give a talk with title: Strong solidity of II_1 factors of free quantum groups

Abstract:

We generalize Ozawa's bi-exactness to discrete quantum groups and give a new sufficient condition for strong solidity, which implies the absence of Cartan subalgebras. As a corollary, we prove that II_1 factors of free quantum groups are strongly solid. We also consider similar conditions on non-Kac type quantum groups, namely, non finite von Neumann algebras.

Tom Erik Maast at the Department of Geosciences will be defending his dissertation: Reservoir quality of deeply buried sandstones – a study of burial diagenesis from the North Sea
