报告摘要：We consider continued fraction expansions of certain functions on hyperelliptic curves, starting with a family of J-fractions constructed by van der Poorten, and explaining how it relates to orthogonal polynomials and discrete integrable systems. In particular, we show how this leads to a direct method to derive Hankel determinant formulae for Somos-4 sequences and generalisations to genus g>1. We also briefly describe an analogous construction with S-fractions, leading to another family of disc

Andy believes in inspiring the next generation of mathematicians, and is involved with School Outreach activities with local schools and the general public, encouraging them to be co-creators of new mathematical research. Until late 2014 he was Head of the Mathematics group but then took up an EPSRC Established Career Fellowship, working on the project Cluster algebras with periodicity and discrete dynamics over finite fields, which applies ideas from mathematical physics to contemporary problems in algebra and number theory.
