Fermi problems (also known as Fermi estimation problems or estimation problems) are a classic type of exercise that have been used in physics education for decades.

At UiO we have begun using them in our first-semester physics course as a gentle start to “thinking like a physicist." But Fermi problems can also be a rich site for building modeling skills across the STEM disciplines, and when combined with a little statistics and computation can quickly turn into simple Monte Carlo problems.
 

This ODD seminar will be partly a Fermi problem workshop and partly a demonstration of the new class of computational Fermi problems we are developing for our physics and STEM courses.
 

Also, there will be cake!

Donaldson-Thomas theory is a well-celebrated modern tool for studying Calabi-Yau threefolds. In this theory, one studies weighted Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of sheaves on threefolds. Elliptic genus on the other hand is a refinement of Euler characteristic motivated by a hypothesis of Witten. In this talk I will discuss and present evidence of a surprising relationship between the two. That is, a relationship between the Elliptic genus of sheaves surfaces and the Donaldson-Thomas theory of elliptically fibred threefolds.

Til minne om Norges fremste astrofysiker og grunnlegger av Institutt for teoretisk astrofysikk, professor Svein Rosseland (1894 – 1985), arrangerer Institutt for teoretisk astrofysikk hvert år en Rosselandforelesning.

Tid og stad: –, Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor

This talk will introduce a recent suite of research focussed on the statistical detection of anomalous structure in online data settings. The challenge of efficiently identifying anomalies in data sequences is an important statistical problem that now arises in many applications. Whilst there has been substantial work aimed at making statistical analyses robust to outliers, or point anomalies, there has been much less work on detecting anomalous segments, or collective anomalies, particularly in those settings where point anomalies might also occur. This is the challenge we seek to address, demonstrating theoretical results in both the offline and online settings as well as introducing some applied case studies.

We have restructured the first year of the physics bachelor program, introducing a new course combining numerical methods with introductory mechanics in the first semester. I will describe briefly the background for this and then discuss some of the experiences that we have had running the course almost twice by now. I will focus on the types of numerical problems the students have worked on and describe what they have mastered and what they have found challenging.

C*-algebra seminar talk by Makoto Yamashita (University of Oslo)

Tid og stad: –, University of Oslo

You are cordially welcome to participate in this three-day workshop on energy, climate, and ESG. As last year, the workshop will gather academics and practitioners from the industry, discussing the latest advances on the stochastics of risk measuring, modelling and managing, with a focus on energy systems, climate, and finance (ESG).

Key topics involve modelling uncertainty in weather and climate, optimisation problems related to energy systems to control emissions, as well as measuring risk factors related to climate change. 

There will be several invited talks by leading researchers as well as selected contributed talks by participants.
