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.

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.

In this talk, professor of philosophy, Alejandra Mancilla, asks who should be the political representatives in a place with no human inhabitants, namely, Antarctica. While the Antarctic Treaty has been celebrated as a successful legal instrument for the protection of the continent, some have criticized its elitist nature and demanded a more democratic system of governance. But, should only humans be part of this arrangement? Why not penguins and maybe icebergs too?
