Tittel: Finding Out Egyptian Gods’ Secret Using Micro-Analytical Chemistry: Biomedical Properties of Egyptian Black Makeup Revealed by Microamperometry at Single Cells
Martin BUCHER, Directeur de Recherche, CNRS, Paris
What makes us us? Why do we react and process things differently, and how do things we experience shape us? And have you heard about the epigenetic clock that can predict your age? How does it work, and how can the epigenetic clock be used to study neuropsychiatric disorders? Find out more about what happens to epigenetic marks in the initial stages of mouse development.

Ainar Drews, PhD , ITA
Abstract: In a recent work with R. Conti (La Sapienza Univ., Rome), we have introduced a notion of positive definiteness for certain functions associated to a (unital, discrete) C*-dynamical system. We will sketch the proof of a Gelfand-Raikov type theorem for such functions and use it to construct complete positive maps on the full and the reduced C*-crossed products of the system. We will also explain how a natural definition of amenability for C*-dynamical systems emerges from our work.

A Scandinavian Gathering Around Remarkable Discrete Mathematics
Abstract: The talk will be on positive linear maps of the n x n matrices into itself, a topic which has become quite popular in quantum information theory. The maps closest to physics are the completely positive ones. I?ll discuss an approximation by a completely positive map to a positive map via the trace , called the “structural physical approximation”, the SPA of the map. Much of the talk will circle around a counter example to a conjecture on the SPA.
Sofia Tirabassi (UiB), gives the Seminar in Algebra and Algebraic Geometry:
Title: Characterization of product of theta divisors
Abstract: This is a joint work with Z. Jiang and M. Lahoz. We give a new cohomological characterization of product of theta divisors in principally polarized abelian varieties and we completely classify n-varieities with of maximal albanese dimension and with irregularity 2n-1 and euler characteristic 1, extending lower dimensional results of Hacon--Pardini. I will do my best to keep the first hour enjoyable and entertaining also for graduate students with background in algebraic geometry (and related areas).
