<p>Hello everyone,<br>
this is a reminder of the talk happening <b>this Monday</b>.<br>
<br>
The next seminar talk will be given by <b>Manuel Soriano </b>(this humble servant). I will introduce some of the work I developed in Austria as a postdoc, combining computational topology and dynamics. No prior knowledge on these fields is assumed, as the talk
will focus on the underlying intuition. It will be a joint seminar with the "<i>Seminario de Ciencias de la Computación e Inteligencia Artificial</i>".<br>

Title: From Continuous to Discrete: Capturing Bifurcations with Computational Topology<br>
Where: room <b>A0.10</b> of the White building in Reina Mercedes (E.T.S.I. <b>Informática</b>)<br>
When: Monday <b>18th of May</b> at <b>12:30</b><br>
Language: English<br>
<br>
<u>Abstract</u><br>
Studying the qualitative behaviour of dynamical systems and their bifurcations is one of the major topics in the field. Morse theory allows us to attack this problem using topological invariants. Alternatively, the success of discrete Morse theory has given
birth to the field of combinatorial dynamics, which defines dynamical systems directly on finite spaces. In this work, we provide a compact descriptor of bifurcations in combinatorial dynamics using tools from computational topology (persistent homology) and
representation theory (gentle algebras). Aside from topology and algebra, this research is computational in nature, and we provide algorithms to calculate this descriptor. In this talk, I will present the main constructions of our research, focusing on the
intuition and assuming minimal knowledge in dynamics, topology, and algebra. This is a first step in the search for better invariants for bifurcations in combinatorial and continuous dynamical systems. This work has been recently accepted in the journal Foundations
of Computational Mathematics.<br>
