THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 9th of June 2016, at 10:15 a.m.

Jarosław Wiśniewski (IM MIMUW)

will give a talk on

"Algebraic models of phylogenetic trees"

Abstract
Using the language of algebraic statistics one can describe Markov processes on tree-like graphs in terms of geometric objects, algebraic models of phylogenetic trees. I will consider phylogenetic trees arising from the binary isotropic model of evolution and their puzzling relations to objects emerging from other branches of mathematics.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
