Title: Some mathematical aspects of molecular evolution.
Abstract: I will briefly explain the basic concepts of tight-span theory, with a discussion of algorithms that enable computation of cutpoints and bridges. I will talk about the relationship of these ideas with block-decomposition theory. Finally I will introduce a new topological approach to tree reconstruction.
Both my lectures are based on joint work with Kathi Huber, Jack Koolen, Vincent Moulton, WU Taoyang, and many others.
The Mathematics Colloquium is preceded by tea in the Mathematics Common Room, starting at 15:15, and is followed by wine and snacks, also in the Mathematics Common Room.
