It’s almost September, although I’m not entirely sure how: feels like I’ve just started at Bristol, yet today marks three months here! So I’ve signed up for a couple of local events in September: the Heilbronn annual conference 2010 is on the 16-17th, and Engage 2010 is the following week, on the 23rd. Less concretely, [...]

Workshop on Discovery and Experimentation in Number Theory
I’m back from the Fields Institute in Toronto, where I spoke at the above workshop, on my usual topic of cyclotomic and 4-cyclotomic matrices/graphs. During the talk I described my conjecture that a graph is maximal cyclotomic if-and-only if it’s 4-cyclotomic, and after an hour at the blackboards with James McKee I now have a [...]
Geometry Club Talk: Why Cryptography Doesn’t Guarantee Security
Tomorrow, in what seems to be becoming an annual tradition, I’ll be giving a talk on cryptography at the Geometry Club. Since it’ll be a talk-and-chalk style seminar, I don’t have any slides to make available, but many of the topics I’ll be discussing have appeared earlier on this blog or everything2. In particular, I’m [...]
