Where do you draw the (dividing) line?

Abstract
A longstanding classification programme in model theory aims to determine when a mathematical structure exhibits tame, structurally simple—as opposed to wild, intractable—behaviour. A key role is played by so-called dividing lines, i.e. properties of logical formulas (or theories) that separate these regimes. In this talk, we demonstrate how the lens of combinatorics has allowed us to gain new insight into higher-order dividing lines, drawing on examples in graphs and groups. We also explain how this perspective has led to advances in higher-order Fourier analysis and statistical learning.
This talk intends to be accessible to beginning graduate students in all areas of mathematics.
GSA SPARK 2025 is back, starting from November 24th until the December 14th, 2025. This coding challenge is especially suited for first-year undergraduates from all STEM disciplines. Take part in 21 days of exciting chellenges, testing your maths and coding to the test. There are £5,000 worth of of daily prizes up for grabs and a £1000 grand prize for the overall winner.

We’re pleased to share the launch of the MSc in AI for Business
This year’s Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics Open Day will take place online on Tuesday 2nd December 2025 from 1:30-4:00pm.
Join us online to meet supervisors as well as some of our postdocs, and hear brief talks on their research. There will also be drop-in sessions with supervisors and current students, with ample opportunity for you to ask questions.
The PhD students from the probability group are organising an event for master’s students interested in probability (and related areas) on 10th November at 5pm. The idea is that we all meet on the ground floor of the Statistics department and split into groups so that each table has 1-2 PhD students and a few master’s students.
