Cem Yetişmişoğlu, İstanbul Technical University Postdoctoral Researcher.

Date: 30th of  April, 2024, Tuesday.

Time: 11.30 – 12.30.

Place: Zoom (https://itu-edu-tr.zoom.us/j/94090890378?pwd=RHpFc1l6MFBjcWU3ZGdidW9qcWRGUT09

Meeting ID: 940 9089 0378

Passcode: 035170.)

Abstract: In this talk we will talk about symplectic supergeometries and their applications coming from different areas of mathematical physics. In the first part, we will look at an application regarding statistical mechanical applications to systems with discrete degrees of freedom (math-ph:2311.05711). In the second part, we will talk about algebraic structure of symmetries associated with string/membrane models which are called algebroids. Moreover for string dualities one is interested in bialgebroids and their Drinfel’d doubles. These notions can naturally be studied using symplectic supergeometries (Voronov, Roytenberg). In this talk we will talk about reformulations of these structures in terms of vector bundles and calculi that we defined on them (hep-th:2312.06584).

Ultrafilters and Some of Their Applications

by

Haydar Göral, İzmir Institute of Technology . Date: 26th of April, 2024, Friday, Time: 13.00 – 14.00. Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Class B255

Abstract: In this talk, we first define ultrafilters on a non-empty set. Then, we see that there is a natural topology on the set of ultrafilters on the positive integers, and in fact this is the Stone-Cech compactification of the positive integers. Moreover, this compact space has an associative binary operation extending the addition of the positive integers. Finally, we will show how this topological semigroup is crucial for proving Ramsey theoretical results from combinatorics.

Matematiksel Bilginin Doğası

by

Prof. Dr. Beno KURYEL, İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi (Ege Üniv. Kimya Mühendisliği, Emekli) Tarih: Daha sonra ilan edilecek. Zaman: Daha sonra ilan edilecek. Yer: Deü Fen Fakültesi B255 nolu derslik

Özet: Matematik, tarih boyunca felsefi düşüncenin ve araştırmalarının zengin kaynaklarından birisi olmuştur. Karşılıklı bir etkileşim bütünlüğünde felsefe de matematiksel bilginin üretimine, kavramsal zenginlik kazanmasına, yöntemsel tasarımların oluşmasına kaynaklık etmiştir. Ancak son yıllarda teknolojinin belirleyici kültür şemsiyesinde matematik, teknik ve pragmatik bir araçsallığa indirgenmiştir. Bu durum hem matematik öğrenimini hem de matematiksel teori ve pratiği dar bir kalıp içine hapsetmektedir. Matematiksel bilginin doğasını incelemek ve öğretim süreçleri ile bütünleştirmek bu araçsallığın eleştirisi için atılacak önemli adımlardan birisidir. Bu çalışma, konunun farklı boyutlar içinde bilgikuramsal bir çözümlemesini ve yeni felsefi açılımların geliştirilmesini hedeflemektedir.

A Countable Prime Avoidance Theorem and Its Generalization to Prime Submodules

by

M. R. Pournaki, Sharif University of Technology. Date: 29th of March, 2024, Friday, Time: 13.00 – 14.00. Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Classroom B255.

Abstract: One of the fundamental cornerstones of commutative ring theory is the prime avoidance theorem, which states that, if \frak{p_1},\ldots,\frak{p_n} are prime ideals of R and \frak{a} is an ideal of R such that \frak{a}\subseteq {\bigcup_{i=1}^n} \frak{p_i}, then \frak{a}\subseteq \frak{p_i} for some 1\leq i\leq n. In this talk, we give a proof for the countable version of this theorem due to Sharp and Vamos. The proof uses the celebrated Baire’s category theorem in metric spaces. We then discuss its generalization to the prime submodules.

A Glimpse to the Stanley Depth: A Geometric Invariant for Modules

M. R. Pournaki, Sharif University of Technology. Date: 22nd of March, 2024, Friday, Time: 13.00 – 14.00. Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Classroom B255.

Abstract: Stanley depth is a geometric invariant of a module which has some common properties with the homological depth invariant. In this talk, we first review briefly the basic concepts of Stanley depth and then discuss some of the recent developments in the theory.

 

 

 

A Glimpse to Unit Graphs: The Graphs Arising From Rings

by

M. R. Pournaki, Sharif University of Technology. Date: 15th of March, 2024, Friday, Time: 13.00 – 14.00. Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Classroom B255.

Abstract: The ring \mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2, having only one unit, cannot be generated by its units. It turns out, in the general theory of rings, that this is essentially the only example. In this talk, we give an elementary proof of “A finite commutative ring with nonzero identity is generated by its units if and only if it cannot have \mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2 as a quotient.” The proof uses graph theory and pointed out to the story of how unit graphs have been arisen. At the end, we discuss some of the recent developments in the theory.

When Three Subjects of Mathematics Meet Each Other

by

M. R. Pournaki, Sharif University of Technology. Date: 8th of March, 2024, Friday, Time: 13.00 – 14.00. Place: Dokuz Eylül Univ., Tınaztepe Campus, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Class B255.

Abstract: Fermat’s little theorem states that if p is a prime number, then a^p \equiv a (mod p) holds true for any integer a. One may ask what happens when p is not a prime. The answer to this question seems little known to mathematicians, even to number theorists (as Dickson said in his “History of the Theory of Numbers”). In this talk, we discuss the missing result which is essentially due to Gauss and its generalizations.

Quantitative unique continuation or “If we don’t know everything, how much do we actually know”?

by

Matthias Täufer, Analysis group, FernUniversität in Hagen, Germany Date: 1th March 2024, Friday Time: 13:00 Place: DEU, Faculty of Science, Department of Mathematics, Room B255

Abstract: Unique continuation is a basic property of many partial differential equations stating that solutions vanishing on subsets must be identically zero. In many cases one would like to have a quantitative version of that, meaning that one can bound the norm of solutions by their norm on subsets. In this talk, we review some history of quantitative unique continuation and present several results on quantitative unique continuation in unbounded domains. Based on joint works with Ivica Nakic (Zagreb), Martin Tautenhahn (Leipzig), Sedef Özcan (Dokuz Eylül), Paul Pfeiffer (Hagen), Albrecht Seelmann (Dortmund) and Ivan Veselic (Dortmund).
