Chebyshev varieties are algebraic varieties parametrized by Chebyshev polynomials or their multivariate generalizations. We determine the dimension, degree, singular locus and defining equations of these varieties. We explain how they play the role of toric varieties in sparse polynomial root finding, when monomials are replaced by Chebyshev polynomials. We present numerical root finding algorithms that exploit our results. Joint work with Zaïneb Bel-Afia and Chiara Meroni.

The amplituhedron is a semi-algebraic set given as the image of the positive Grassmannian under a linear map subject to a choice of additional parameters. We define the Infinituhedron as the limit of amplituhedra by sending one of the parameters to infinity. We derive its algebraic boundary in terms of Chow varieties and explain its geometric interpretation from the point of view of Positive Geometry in terms of secants of the rational normal curve. This discussion shows that the Infinituhedron is a positive geometry with a unique differential form. Joint work with Rainer Sinn.

IFN-y induces differentiation of enteroendocrine cells in human gut organoids mimicking in vivo gut pathology

Clara Bertinelli Salucci is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mathematics, affiliated with the PLUMBIN' (Physics Learning Using Machines and Bayesian INference) project at the University of Oslo. She completed her PhD in Statistics and Machine Learning at the University of Oslo in April 2024, where she developed statistical and machine learning methods for diagnostics and prognostics of lithium-ion batteries for maritime applications. Currently, she is investigating the role of likelihood ratio test statistics for hypotheses tests in experimental and theoretical particle physics, focusing on deviations from Wilks' theorem in the search for new particles. Her postdoctoral research combines her expertise in statistics with her background in high-energy physics.

PhD candidate Ingeborg Nymoen Nystuen at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis 'Visual Association Learning in the Parahippocampal Region' for the degree of PhD.

Welcome to the first gathering of the research network Oil & Society

Doctoral candidate Marieke van Otterdijk at the Department of Informatics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis How to Make Robots Intuitive Decision Makers? – Developing Intuitive Cognition for Robots by Studying Humans for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to apply this method to their own data. This includes a crash course on the method, and some work on interpretation of results. Everything will be run on Google Colab, and no previous skills are required. Bring a friend and coworker! 

Professor Matthew Nolan from the University of Edinburgh will hold a guest seminar titled: "Neural coding schemes for representing learned spatial behaviours". 

Histidine methylation of RNF113A by the methyltransferase CARNMT1 in human and other organisms

Eirik Sæther Hatlen will defend his thesis "Dark Matter Line Searches with the Cherenkov Telescope Array" for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor at the University of Oslo, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Welcome to our GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday 13th of December @ 12:15 in Aud. 1 in the Geology Building. The seminar is held by Johan Fredrik Agerup (University of Oslo).

At this inaugural Conservation Ecology Forum meeting, we will have two short presentations of ongoing projects that aim to understand how the interactions between different environmental factors and forest management practices can affect forest ecosystem functions (biodiversity, landscape connectivity, carbon storage), and how forest management can help to reduce biodiversity loss.
