The paper “Global bifurcation of localised 2D patterns emerging from spatial heterogeneity“, co-authored by Dan Hill (Oxford), Dave Lloyd, and Matt Turner, has been accepted for publication in Nonlinearity. The paper presents a general approach to prove the existence, both locally and globally in amplitude, of fully localised multi-dimensional patterns in partial differential equations containing […]

The workshop “Geometry Space Surrey” was held 8-10 June hosted by the Surrey Space Centre (SSC) and co-organised with Maths@Surrey. The Principal Organiser was Arthur Limoge, a symplectic geometer currently a Postdoc in the SSC. A report on the workshop is available here. The workshop focused on applications of symplectic geometry to astrodynamics. Indeed, symplectic […]
