Urs Schreiber from the Charles University in Prague is visiting the Fields, Strings & Geometry (FSG) Group from 15th July – 23rd July.  Urs Schreiber’s expertise lies in differential geometry, homotopy theory, and mathematical quantum field and string theory.  In addition, Branislav Jurco, also from the Charles University in Prague, is visiting the FSG Group from 20th July – 31st July.  His visit is supported by a London Mathematical Society Research in pairs grant with Martin Wolf.  Branislav is a mathematical physicist and category theorist. He will give an FSG seminar on 23th July entitled “Connections on Courant Algebroids” in which he will focus in detail on torsionless connections compatible with a generalized metric and the related Einstein-Hilbert actions.  As part of his trip to the UK, he will also visit and give seminars at Imperial College London and Queen Mary University of London.
