Lecture Theatre 116, Mathematics and Statistics Building (University of Glasgow)

<p><strong>T﻿he London Mathematical Society and the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Glasgow invites you to</strong></p><h1>The H﻿ardy Lecture 2023 in Glasgow</h1><h2>Quantizing via Polytope counting: Old and new</h2><h3>Professor Eva Miranda </h3><h3>Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona</h3><p><strong>Thursday, 21 September 3-4pm with a wine reception to follow at 4pm</strong></p><p><strong>Lecture Room 116 of the Mathematics and Statistics Building, University of Glasgow</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><blockquote>“The mathematician’s patterns, like the painter’s or the poet’s must be beautiful; the ideas like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way..”</blockquote><blockquote>― G.H. Hardy, A Mathematician's Apology</blockquote><p>We will present a simple quantization method for toric manifolds. Our approach connects Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves to integer points located in the image of the moment map. This method is suitable for symplectic manifolds and specific classes of Poisson manifolds.</p><p></p><p><strong>A﻿bout the Hardy Lecture Series:</strong></p><p>The Hardy Lectureship was founded in 1967 in memory of G.H. Hardy in recognition of outstanding contribution to both mathematics and to the Society. The Hardy Lectureship is a lecture tour of the UK by a mathematician with a high reputation in research.</p><p></p><p><strong>A﻿bout the speaker: </strong></p><p>The 2023 LMS Hardy Lecturer is Professor Eva Miranda (UPC Barcelona), a Full Professor at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, specializing in Differential Geometry, Mathematical Physics, and Dynamical Systems. She has been honored with several prestigious awards, including two ICREA Academia Prizes in 2016 and 2021, a 2017 Chaire d'Excellence of the FSMP in Paris, a Bessel Prize in 2022, and the François Deruyts Prize in 2022.</p><p></p><p>General information about the Hardy Lecture Tour, including how apply for travel/caring grants to support attendance at the Hardy Lectures 2023 can be found on the LMS website here: www.lms.ac.uk/events/lectures/hardy-lectureship#Hardy%20Current</p><p></p><h3>A﻿ccessibility:</h3><p>T﻿he lecture theatre (116) is located on the ground floor of the Mathematics and Statistics Building. It can be accessed through manually opened wide corridor and external doors, step-free. Accessible toilets are located on the ground floor of the building, as well as on levels 2 and 4. The lecture theatre has  shallow steps, but one or two rows of desks are accessible step-free.
