Research Seminar Andrés Navas, Universidad de Santiago de Chile Tuesday, January 17, 2023, 2:30pm Abstract: Most of this talk will be devoted to explain the ideas of a recent work in collaboration with Hélène Eynard-Bontemps (Inst. Fourier, Grenoble) about connectedness properties of the space of commuting diffeomorphisms of 1-manifolds. General Audience Seminar Andrés Navas, Universidad de Santiago de Chile Tuesday, January 17, 2023, 4:00pm Abstract: Among (pan)magic squares, the one engraved in a temple in the sacred city of Khajuraho in India is one of the most striking ones. I will focus on this marvelous object from the point of view of symmetries. In concrete terms, I will explain why the group attached to it is isomorphic to that of 384 rigid movements of the hypercube. To do this, I will revisit Pandita's theorem on counting the number of panmagic squares of order 4. Several mathematical questions on groups of symmetries of general magic structures will be presented.Consortium Distinguished Lecture Series
