Strong presentation skills are a key to success for researchers and other professionals alike, yet many speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. This workshop proposes a systematic way to prepare and deliver an oral presentation .

Abstract: It is known that there exist many "non-smoothable 4-manifolds", that is, topological 4-manifolds which do not admit smooth manifold structures. Gauge theory provides a strong tool to detect such interesting topological 4-manifolds. In this talk, I will explain a family version of this story. Namely, I will show that a family version of gauge theory may detect "non-smoothable 4-manifold bundles", which is a fiber bundle whose structure group is the homeomorphism group of a 4-manifold, but we cannot reduce the structure group into the diffeomorphism group. This is joint work with David Baraglia and with Tsuyoshi Kato and Nobuhiro Nakamura.

After attending this skill-building workshop, trainees will have the ability to respond effectively to the most common questions asked when they interview for their first industry research position. Trainees will improve their ability to respond to opening and closing interview scenarios, as well as tough and awkward interview questions. Finally, we will discuss effective—and not-so-effective—strategies for negotiating job offers.

This talk provides an overview of these changes and touches on the possible consequences of new initiatives, which can be applied by researchers in their roles as authors, readers, referees and editors.

A blender is an intricate geometric structure of a three- or higher-dimensional diffeomorphism. Its characterising feature is that its invariant manifolds behave as geometric objects of a dimension that is larger than expected from the dimensions of the manifolds themselves. We introduce a family of three-dimensional Hénon-like maps and study how it gives rise to an explicit example of a blender. The map has two saddle fixed points. Their associated stable and unstable manifolds consist of points for which the sequence of images or pre-images converges to one of the saddle points; such points lie on curves or surfaces, depending on the number of stable eigenvalues of the Jacobian at the saddle points. We employ advanced numerical techniques to compute one-dimensional stable and unstable manifolds to very considerable arclengths. In this way, we not only present the first images of an actual blender but also obtain a convincing numerical test for the blender property. This allows us to present strong numerical evidence for the existence of the blender over a larger parameter range, as well as its disappearance and geometric properties beyond this range. We will also discuss the relevance of the blender property for chaotic attractors; joint work with Stephanie Hittmeyer and Bernd Krauskopf (University of Auckland) and Katsutoshi Shinohara (Hitotsubashi University).
