This week:
Tuesday 9 September, 2008
3.00pm
Algebra and Topology Seminar
On Bridgeland's stability conditions
So Okada
JD 35
Abstract We begin by brefily recalling definitions and fundamental properties, and mainly deal with Calabi-Yau surfaces cases.
Wednesday 10 September, 2008
11.00am
Computational Mathematics Seminar
Pairing friendly elliptic curves and fields
Igor Shparlinski
JD 35
Abstract We present some theoretic and heuristic estimates for the number of elliptic curves with low embedding which is essential for their applicability in pairing based cryptography. We also give estimates for the number of fields over which such curves may exist. The main ideas behind the proofs will be explained as well. Finally, we give a heuristic analysis of the so-called MNT algorithm and show that it produces a rather "thin" sequence of curves.
