Dr. Beer's primary research interest is in understanding how coordinated behavior arises from the dynamical interaction of an animal's nervous system, its body and its environment. Toward this end, he works on the evolution and analysis of dynamical "nervous systems" for model agents, neuromechanical modeling of animals, biologically-inspired robotics, and dynamical systems approaches to behavior and cognition.   In this episode, we talk about biology and cognitive science. We first discuss autopoiesis, the work of Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, and how it relates to cognition. We talk about motor behavior, a brain-body-environment framework, studying locomotion in C. elegans, and connectomics. We discuss the relationship between biology and cognition, and enactivism. We talk about computational-representationalist approaches, and dynamical approaches in cognitive science. We go through the history of the situated, embodied, and dynamical framework in cognitive science, and 4E cognition. We discuss minimally cognitive agents, and AI systems. Finally, we talk about evo-devo approaches in biology, developmental bias, and the extended evolutionary synthesis. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Recorded on Aug 29, 2023 in München, Germany. Video version available on YouTube.Can we meaningfully talk about causality in dynamical systems?Some people are puzzled when it comes to dynamical systems and the idea of causation.Dynamical systems well-known in physics, social sciences, and biology are often thought of as a special family of systems, where it might be difficult to meaningfully talk about causal direction. Naftali Weinberger devoted his career to examining the relationships between system dynamics, causality and the phenomena known broadly as "complexity". We explore what does "intervention" mean in a dynamical system and we deconstruct common intuitions about causality and system's equilibrium. We discuss the importance of time scales when defining a causal system, analyze what could have inspired Bertrand Russell to say that causality is a "relic of a bygone age" and ponder the phenomenon of emergence. Finally, Naftali shares his advice for those of us just starting exploring the uncharted territory of causal inference and discovery. Warning: this conversation might bend your sense of reality. Use with caution! Ready to dive in? About The GuestNaftali Weinberger, PhD is a Researcher at Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy at LMU. His research is focused on causality, dynamical systems and fairness.

Scientists studying ecological and embodied cognition try to use algorithms as little as they can. Instead, they favor dynamical systems, typically represented as a set of equations that share variables in a way that is somewhat looplike: component A changes, which changes component B, which changes component A, and so on. Peculiarities of behavior can be explained as such systems reaching stable states. This episode describes two sets of equations that predict surprising properties of what seems to be intelligent behavior.Source:Anthony Chemero, Radical Embodied Cognitive Science, 2011Either mentioned or came this close to being mentionedJames Clerk Maxwell, "On Governors", 1868 (PDF)Andy Clark, Being There: Putting Brain, Body, and World Together Again, 1997Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Embodied Cognition", 2020Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "The Computational Theory of Mind", 2021Wikipedia, "Dynamical Systems Theory"Nick Bostrom, "Letter from Utopia", 2008/20CreditsThe image is from Maxwell's "On Governors", showing the sort of equations "EEs" work with instead of code.

Professor Keith Davids is Professor of Motor Learning at the Centre for Sport and Exercise Science. Keith uses an Ecological Dynamics framework for investigating skill acquisition, expertise and talent development in sport. He is an applied scientist who researches how processes of learning, development, performance preparation and participation in sport, physical activity and exercise may be facilitated. He reviews implications for coaching and teaching at elite, sub-elite and recreational levels of participants, as part of his work. Ecological Dynamics is an integration of Ecological Psychology, Dynamical Systems theory, Evolutionary Science and the Science of Complex Systems, considering individual athletes and teams as complex adaptive systems, self-organising under interacting constraints. Such systems change over different timescales, which has significant implications for learning, development and ageing in children, adults and elderly people. He has over 30 years experience of teaching and conducting research in Ecological Dynamics with collaborators in UK, Portugal, France, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Finland, Norway and Sweden in related fields like Sports Science, Psychology, Behavioural Neuroscience, Sports Coaching, Physical Education and Human Movement Science. He has held/holds research positions in the UK (Manchester Metropolitan University: 1991-2003), Finland (University of Jyvaskyla, Finnish Distinguished Professor: 2012-2016), New Zealand (University of Otago: 2003-2007), Australia (Queensland University of Technology: 2006-2014) and Norway (2020-22: Norwegian Sports Science University (NTNU, Trondheim), Adjunct Research Professor). His scientific research is applied in the work of international sports organisations (national and international teams in Association Football, NFL, Rugby Union and AFL) and national Institutes of Sport in Australia (AIS), New Zealand (NZSI), and England (EIS), as well as KIHU (Finnish Olympic Research Committee) and PESTA (Physical Education and Sports Teachers Association, Singapore). Keith is part of the Constraints Collective with Ian Renshaw, Will Roberts and Danny Newcombe: https://www.theconstraintscollective.com/ Keith is co-author of the 2019 book, The Constraints-Led Approach: Principles for Sports Coaching and Practice Design.

Here's something weird to think about. Can fluids think? No, we're not talking about a liquid metal shape-shifting creature like what we saw in Terminator 2. We're asking, can fluid systems make computations? In this episode, we chat with Professor Eva Miranda, head of the Laboratory of Geometry and Dynamical Systems at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain. She's on a mission exploring one of math's most famous open problems – the existence of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equation, which governs the flow of fluids such as water and air. Since the 1800's, researchers interested in how fluids flow have turned to Navier-Stokes. To investigate Navier-Stokes, Eva and her colleagues have constructed an abstract mathematical machine, a theoretical fluid computer, if you will. In this podcast, Professor Miranda tells us how a post from Australian Mathematician Terrence Tao inspired her, how she used geometry to construct her fluid computer, and why she believes that Navier-Stokes might not always be physically valid. Our host for this episode is Dr James Nichols.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Rob discusses a fundamental aspect of neo-Darwinism (Fisher's Theorem of Natural Selection) and how it fails mathematically. First postulated in 1930, Fisher's idea was promoted as something as firm and settled as the 2nd Law. Problem is, he made several incorrect assumptions that invalidate the whole thing. When you add realistic mutations to the scenario (e.g., Basener and Sanford's 'Fisher's Theorem of Natural Selection with Mutations'), you see that the net trajectory of evolution is downward. Why did it take 90 years to figure this out?

You know how you put all your recycling—cans, bottles, cardboard, etc.—into the same bin? Well, have you ever wondered how all that stuff gets sorted out at the recycling factory? It's done mostly by humans.  If you watch a video about how it's done, rest assured you're not likely to apply for this job. These folks are standing at a conveyor belt with recyclable trash whizzing by them at every moment and they need to pick pieces off the line to put into the proper bins at a rate of 40 items per minute! It's tough to watch the work for 30 seconds, so imagine how tough it must be to do that work for hours every day.  Well, Matanya Horowitz had a different idea. He'd been obsessed with robots since he was a kid, and fresh out of his PhD program, he wondered whether he could teach robots to sort trash more effectively and efficiently than humans.  The dude started in 2014 by dumpster diving with his girlfriend to get trash which he could start training his AI on. Then he got some government grants to hire himself and a couple others. Fast forward to today, and Horowitz's AMP Robotics has raised $75 million from investors, employs 250 humans, has deployed a similar number of robots at recycling factories on three continents that have now sorted billions of pieces of trash, and has even opened their own recycling factory in Ohio.  Their robots pick at a rate of anywhere from 80 to 120 pieces per minute, don't need breaks, don't get covid, and importantly, they alter the economics of recycling to make it far more likely that what goes into the recycling bin actually ends up getting recycled. In this episode, we talk all about the economics of AMP's robots, the trajectory Matanya took from being an academic roboticist to becoming a CEO, the role venture capital has played in the company, what mistakes along the way were made, whether he thinks robots will ever become sentient, and more. It's an impressive and inspirational story from a scientist who's using his business to help solve a pressing sustainability problem for humanity. Discussed in this episode Matanya is influenced by the Jewish tale of Golem He's also a big fan of Isaac Asimov's work And he recommends reading The Innovator's Dilemma and Paul Graham's essays Matanya gave a cool TEDx speech about robotics   Want to read a transcript of this episode?

[Previously in sequence: Taxometrics] I. Imagine Alice has a chronic disease. Luckily, as long as she has a job, she will have health insurance. And health insurance provides her with a treatment. Every day she takes the treatment, her health will go up one point on a 0-100 scale; every day she misses the treatment, it will go down one point. If her health ever gets below 75, she will be too ill to work. Mathematicians would call this a dynamical system with three variables: does she have a job or not, does she have insurance or not, and her health level. We know from the rules above that j always equals i, and that j is 1 as long has h is 75 or higher. And every day i = 1, h goes up one; every day i = 0, h goes down 1. Alice starts with a job and health of 100. Since j = 1 and i = 1, health goes up one each day, but it’s maxed out at 100 so it just says there. This state is perfectly stable; as long as the system follows the rules above, it will never change. Suppose Alice gets a mild cold which knocks her health down to 90. She keeps working, her health keeps going up 1 each day, and she eventually gets back to 100. Suppose Alice gets a medium flu which knocks her health down to 80. She keeps working, her health keeps going up 1 each day, and she eventually gets back to 100. But suppose Alice gets a serious pneumonia which knocks her health down to 70. Now she can’t work, she loses insurance, her health starts going down 1 each day, and she eventually goes down to 0. This is another stable state; as long as the system keeps evolving according to the rules, it will never change.

In this episode of Learning Machines 101, we review Chapter 6 of my book “Statistical Machine Learning” which introduces methods for analyzing the behavior of machine inference algorithms and machine learning algorithms as dynamical systems. We show that when dynamical systems can be viewed as special types of optimization algorithms, the behavior of those systems even when they are highly nonlinear and high-dimensional can be analyzed.

Abstract: Modern recording techniques can generate large-scale measurements of multiple neural populations over extended time periods. However, it remains a challenge to model non-stationary interactions between high-dimensional populations of neurons. To tackle this challenge, we develop recurrent switching linear dynamical systems models for multiple populations. Here, each high-dimensional neural population is represented by a unique set of latent variables, which evolve dynamically in time. Populations interact with each other through this low-dimensional space. We allow the nature of these interactions to change over time by using a discrete set of dynamical states. Additionally, we parameterize these discrete state transition rules to capture which neural populations are responsible for switching between interaction states. To fit the model, we use variational expectation-maximization with a structured mean-field approximation. After validating the model on simulations, we apply it to two different neural datasets: spiking activity from motor areas in a non-human primate, and calcium imaging from neurons in the nematode C. elegans. In both datasets, the model reveals behaviorally-relevant discrete states with unique inter-population interactions and different populations that predict transitioning between these states.

RETURN TO THE SOURCE AUTUMN RETREAT! Oct 3-6th https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/ev_event/autumn-retreat-2019/ TODAY'S EPISODE Motivation seems to be a big problem. The cost of being a member at your average gym is about $60 a month yet every year about 5.1 million Americans end up wasting a total of around $1.8 billion in unused gym memberships.  It’s a strange statistic if you think about it. We all know that movement is vital in maintaining a healthy body and brain. We know that positive lifestyle improvements are good for mitigating stress and anxiety, increasing brain function, reducing the risk of diseases, and can make us less susceptible to injuries.  Meanwhile, we are bombarded by marketing that idolizes those who are fit and healthy. Our movies, our television shows, the people we follow on social media... all make it clear that having a strong, fit-looking body brings great social reward and probably loads of self respect and confidence. To add to it, we even have state of the art facilities staffed with professional exercisers ready to measure us, build dietary plans and workout routines, taking all the thinking and studying out of the equation for us. With all of this help, being our most heroic and sexy selves should be pretty easy. Yet… we still don’t go to the gym. As it turns out, the human mind and body is an incomprehensibly complex thing. There’s a lot more going on than what can be adequately addressed through the reductionist method. Movement is much more than just an obligatory chore to meet society's expectations or to punish oneself for past poor decisions. Movement, in its truest sense, is a means of expression and connection that can actively imbue our lives with meaning and profound experiences. The motivations and methods described above generally ignore this fact, opting instead to create an environment that, shuns playing, stifles creative problem solving, poo poos self expression, and asserts that no pain equals no gain. While this is enough to get people to shell out money for a membership, it seems to be insufficient in keeping people engaged and motivated for very long. In today’s episode of the Evolve Move Play Podcast, our good friend Todd Hargrove is back to talk about his new book “Playing with Movement: How to Explore the Many Dimensions of Physical Health and Performance”. It turns out that if we really want to get the most out of our movement and become the best versions of ourselves, we would do well to step away from our habit of viewing the body as a machine, perceiving play as pointless, and seeing movement solely as a form of work.  When we begin playing more, we tap into inherent motivations and are far more likely to engage in the activities that nurture us. So buckle up and join us on this conversation. Along the way we’ll also talk with Todd about intention and attention, dynamic systems, and what differentiates work from play. So take a look and let us know what you think!

Randall D Beer (Indiana University, Bloomington) discusses the use of dynamical systems theory as a mathematical 'lens' or language to study the brain and its processes. Interviewed by Paul Verschure and Tony Prescott.

Diesmal traf sich Gudrun zum Gespräch mit Anke Pohl, die zur Zeit am Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in Bonn arbeitet. Das Thema der Unterhaltung ist Mathematisches Quantenchaos. Anke Pohl untersucht nämlich, welchen Zusammenhang die geometrischen und spektralen Eigenschaften Riemannscher Mannigfaltigkeiten haben. Historisch ist das Interesse an diesen Eigenschaften und ihren Wechselwirkungen bei physikalischen Betrachtungen entstanden, wie z.B. bei den Studien der Schwingungen einer Membran. Im Jahre 1910 vermuteten Lorentz und Sommerfeld, dass der Flächeninhalt einer Membran (die ein Beispiel für eine Riemannsche Mannigfaltigkeit ist) durch die (Ober-)töne dieser Membran (die durch die Eigenwerte eines gewissen Operators bestimmt sind, der die Schwingungen der Membran beschreibt) bestimmt sind. Bereits kurze Zeit später gelang es Hermann Weyl, diese Vermutung mathematisch zu beweisen. Im Laufe der Zeit ist die Untersuchung solcher Zusammenhänge zu einem Teilgebiet der Mathematik und Mathematischen Physik angewachsen, welches sowohl hinsichtlich Motivation als auch in Bezug auf Methoden eng mit diversen anderen Teilgebieten der Mathematik, wie z.B. der Geometrie, der Zahlentheorie und der Analysis, zusammenhängt. Und auch heute noch liefern physikalische Erkenntnisse und Intuitionen gute Heuristiken bzw. sind wegweisend für mathematische Ansätze. Aktuelle große Vermutungen mit sowohl mathematischer als auch physikalischer Motivation sind beispielsweise die Rudnick-Sarnak Vermutung über eindeutige Quantenergodizität auf gewissen kompakten Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten (Gleichverteilung von Eigenfunktionen im Mittel bei wachsendem Eigenwert; für den Beweis von eindeutiger arithmetischer Quantenergodizität wurde E. Lindenstrauss 2010 eine Fieldsmedaille verliehen), die Phillips-Sarnak Vermutung über die (Nicht-)Existenz von quadrat-integrierbaren Eigenfunktionen auf gewissen nicht-arithmetischen Mannigfaltigkeiten, die Sarnaksche Vermutung über das Größenwachstum von Eigenfunktionen bei wachsendem Eigenwert, oder die Sjöstrandsche Vermutung über die asymptotische Anzahl von Resonanzen in Streifen bei hyperbolischen Flächen unendlichen Inhalts. Details und weiterführende Informationen zu diesen und anderen Vermutungen sind beispielsweise in den Übersichtsartikel in den untenstehenden Referenzen enthalten. Anke Pohls befasst sich zur Zeit mit bestimmten Flüssen, den sogenannten geodätischen Flüssen, auf einer speziellen Klasse von Riemannschen Mannigfaltigkeiten. Als erste, recht elementare, Beispiele für Mannigfaltigkeiten kann man sich zunächst Oberflächen vorstellen. Wenn man auf ihnen Größen definiert hat, die zum Messen von Abständen und Winkel dienen, werden sie Riemannsche Mannigfaltigkeit genannt. Wie bei den oben genannten Membranen sind Geodäten. Mathematisch werden die Schwingungen als Lösungen des Laplaceoperators in der zugrundeliegenden Geometrie beschrieben bzw. mit Hilfe der Eigenwerte und Eigenfunktionen des Operators. Aus der Anschauung ist klar, dass die Schwingungen von den geometrischen Eigenschaften der Fläche abhängen. Wenn z.B. die Fläche oder Membran eingerissen ist oder ein Loch hat, klingt sie anders als wenn sie geschlossen ist bzw. gut eingespannt ist. Für kompakte Flächen ist bekannt, dass es unendlich viele solcher Eigenfunktionen gibt. Je nach Grad der Offenheit (also z.B. eine Fläche mit Riss oder Loch) ist es jedoch schwierig zu sagen, wie sich die Schar der Lösungen verändert. Ein interessantes Beispiel wäre z.B. zu betrachten, dass an einer Stelle die eingespannte Fläche im Unendlichen verankert ist, aber das darunterliegende Volumen endlich ist. Vorstellen kann man sich das etwa so, dass man an dieser Stelle die Fläche samt ihren Abständen unendlich weit zieht. Man fragt sich dann, ob eine Welle auf der Fläche auch diese Singularität überlebt. Ein methodischer Ansatz, solche und andere Fragen zu studieren, ist es, Beziehungen zu anderen Objekten, vor allem rein geometrischen, zu finden. Selbergs Beweis zur Unendlichkeit der Anzahl der Eigenfunktionen auf gewissen hyperbolischen Flächen zeigt zunächst, dass die Eigenwerte der Eigenfunktionen (spektrale Objekte) durch die Längen der geschlossenen Geodäten (geometrische Objekte) bestimmt sind. Genauer, sie sind unter den Nullstellen einer generierenden Zetafunktion für das Längenspektrum der Geodäten. Ausnutzung zusätzlicher Eigenschaften der Flächen, wie z.B. Kompaktheit oder zusätzliche Symmetrien, erlaubt dann (manchmal) zu bestimmen, ob Nullstellen existieren und ob sie von Eigenwerten stammen. Anke Pohl schaut sich die Geodäten auf bestimmten hyperbolischen Flächen an, diskretisiert sie und findet ein assoziiertes diskretes dynamisches System auf dem reellen Zahlenstrahl. Für dieses diskrete System sucht sie gewisse invariante Größen, z. B. invariante Maße oder Dichten. Genauer fragt sie nach Eigenfunktionen des assoziierten Transferoperators mit gewissen Parametern (inversen Temperaturen). An dieser Stelle sieht man wieder einen Einfluss aus der Physik: Transferoperatoren entstammen dem thermodynamischen Formalismus der statistischen Mechanik. Sie zeigt dann, dass die Eigenfunktionen dieser Transferoperatoren bijektiv zu den L_2 Eigenfunktionen des Laplaceoperators der hyperbolischen Flächen sind. Da die Eigenfunktionen der Transferoperatoren alleine durch die geschlossenen Geodäten bestimmt sind und somit also geometrische Objekte der Fläche sind, stellt auch sie eine Beziehung zwischen gewissen geometrischen und gewissen spektralen Objekten dieser Flächen her. Zum Abschluss noch eine kurze Erklärung zur Bezeichnung "Quantenchaos" für dieses Themengebiet: Der Laplaceoperator ist gerade, bis auf Skalierung, der Schrödingeroperator in der Physik. Quantenmechanisch werden seine L_2 Eigenfunktionen als gebundene Zustände verstanden. Das zugehörige Objekt in der klassischen Mechanik ist gerade das Hamiltonsche Vektorfeld des geodätischen Flusses, d. h. die Bildungsvorschrift für die Geodäten oder die Bewegungsvorschrift für Kugeln auf der Fläche. Das Korrespondenzprinzip der Physik besagt nun, dass im Grenzfall (hier: Eigenwerte der Eigenfunktionen gehen gegen unendlich) die Gesetze der Quantenmechanik in die der klassischen Mechanik übergehen sollten. Hier fragt man also gerade danach, wie die spektralen und die geometrischen Eigenschaften Riemannscher Mannigfaltigen wechselwirken. Daraus ergibt sich der Bestandteil "Quanten" in "Quantenchaos". Der Bestandteil "Chaos" ist wie folgt motiviert: Bei den in diesem Gebiet studierten Flüssen verhalten sich Bahnen, die sehr nah beieinander starten, typischerweise nach recht kurzer Zeit sehr unterschiedlich. Mit anderen Worten, kleine Änderungen in den Anfangsbedingungen wirken sich typischerweise sehr stark aus, d.h., das System ist in gewisser Weise chaotisch.

Jonathan Zachhuber war zum 12. Weihnachtsworkshop zur Geometrie und Zahlentheorie zurück an seine Alma Mater nach Karlsruhe gekommen und sprach mit Gudrun Thäter über Teichmüllerkurven. Kurven sind zunächst sehr elementare ein-dimensionale mathematische Gebilde, die über den komplexen Zahlen gleich viel reichhaltiger erscheinen, da sie im Sinne der Funktionentheorie als Riemannsche Fläche verstanden werden können und manchmal faszinierende topologische Eigenschaften besitzen. Ein wichtiges Konzept ist dabei das Verkleben von Flächen. Aus einem Rechteck kann man durch Verkleben der gegenüberliegenden Seiten zu einem Torus gelangen (Animation von Kieff zum Verkleben, veröffentlicht als Public Domain): Polynome in mehreren Variablen bieten eine interessante Art Kurven als Nullstellenmengen zu beschreiben: Die Nullstellen-Menge des Polynoms ergibt über den reellen Zahlen den Einheitskreis. Durch Ändern von Koeffizienten kann man die Kurve verformen, und so ist die Nullstellenmenge von eine Ellipse. Über den komplexen Zahlen können diese einfachen Kurven dann aber auch als Mannigfaltigkeiten interpretiert werden, die über Karten und Atlanten beschrieben werden können. Das ist so wie bei einer Straßenkarte, mit der wir uns lokal gut orientieren können. Im Umland oder anderen Städten braucht man weitere Karten, und alle Karten zusammen ergeben bei vollständiger Abdeckung den Straßenatlas. Auch wenn die entstehenden abstrakten Beschreibungen nicht immer anschaulich sind, so erleichtern die komplexen Zahlen den Umgang mit Polynomen in einem ganz wichtigen Punkt: Der Fundamentalsatz der Algebra besagt, dass der Grad des Polynoms gleich der Anzahl der Nullstellen in ihrer Vielfachheit ist. Also hat nun jedes nichtkonstante Polynom mindestens eine Nullstelle, und über den Grad des Polynoms wissen wir, wie viele Punkte sich in der Nullstellenmenge bewegen können, wenn wir an den Koeffizienten Veränderungen vornehmen. Eine gute Methode die entstehenden Flächen zu charakterisieren ist die Bestimmung möglicher geschlossener Kurven, und so gibt es beim Torus beispielsweise zwei unterschiedliche geschlossene Kurven. Die so enstehende Fundamentalgruppe bleibt unter einfachen Deformationen der Flächen erhalten, und ist daher eine Invariante, die hilft die Fläche topologisch zu beschreiben. Eine weitere wichtige topologische Invariante ist das Geschlecht der Fläche. Die Teichmüllerkurven entstehen nun z.B. durch das Verändern von einem Koeffizienten in den Polynomen, die uns durch Nullstellenmengen Kurven beschreiben- sie sind sozusagen Kurven von Kurven. Die entstehenden Strukturen kann man als Modulraum beschreiben, und so diesen Konstruktionen einen Parameterraum mit geometrischer Struktur zuordnen. Speziell entstehen Punkte auf Teichmüllerkurven gerade beim Verkleben von gegenüberliegenden parallelen Kanten eines Polygons; durch Scherung erhält man eine Familie von Kurven, die in seltenen Fällen selbst eine Kurve ist. Ein Beispiel ist das Rechteck, das durch Verkleben zu einem Torus wird, aber durch Scherung um ganz spezielle Faktoren zu einem ganz anderen Ergebnis führen kann. Die durch Verklebung entstandenen Flächen kann man als Translationsflächen in den Griff bekommen. Hier liefert die Translationssymmetrie die Methode um äquivalente Punkte zu identifizieren. Für die weitere Analyse werden dann auch Differentialformen eingesetzt. Translationen sind aber nur ein Beispiel für mögliche Symmetrien, denn auch Rotationen können Symmetrien erzeugen. Da die Multiplikation in den komplexen Zahlen auch als Drehstreckung verstanden werden kann, sind hier Rotationen als komplexe Isomorphismen ganz natürlich, und das findet man auch in den Einheitswurzeln wieder.

Joshua Rosaler (Pittsburgh) gives a talk at the MCMP conference "Reduction and Emergence in the Sciences" (14-16 November, 2013) titled "Theory Reduction in Physics: A Model-Based, Dynamical Systems Approach". Abstract: I elaborate an approach to reduction in physics that is distinct from the Nagelian and limit-based approaches that have been discussed most widely in the philosophical literature. This approach, which I call ‘Dynamical Systems (DS) Reduction’, is intended to apply to the reduction of theories whose models can be formulated as dynamical systems models. Importantly, this is the case with most physical theories, including classical mechanics, classical field theory, quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. After setting out the basic elements of DS reduction, I compare this approach with the limit-based and Nagelian approaches, arguing in each case that the DS approach does better. In particular, I highlight a number of significant parallels between the DS and Nagelian approaches, specifically relating to their use of special correspondences between theories (what are most commonly called ‘bridge laws’ in Nagelian approaches) to identify those elements of the low-level theory that emulate the behavior of certain elements in the high-level theory. Despite these similarities, I argue that DS reduction, in its use such correspondences (which I call ‘bridge maps’) does not face the ambiguities or difficulties that are often associated with Nagelian bridge laws: in particular, I argue that it avoids ambiguities as to whether these correspondences are to be regarded as conventions or empirically substantive claims, as well addressing concerns about multiple realisability.

[Conf.] Reduction and emergence play a central role in the relations of scientific theories and disciplines. Unfortunately, the discussion about reduction and emergence suffers from two uncertainties at once. On the one hand the concepts of reduction and especially emergence are not precisely defined, on the other hand there are few if any uncontentious cases of reduction or emergence in the sciences. This conference will bring together philosophers of science and scientists of different disciplines with the aim of addressing the inter- and intratheoretic relations of specific theories and providing precise notions of such relations for the application in the sciences. These relations can then serve as a basis for explications of reduction and emergence that are applicable in the sciences. | Center for Advanced Studies & Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy: 14.-16.11.2013
