The British Mathematics Colloquium, the largest annual meeting in the UK devoted to pure mathematics, is being held this week (11-14 June) at the University of St Andrews. Ian Morris is the morning speaker (a semi-plenary lecture of high esteem) on Thursday 14 June.   The title of his talk is “Towards the construction of high-dimensional measures on self-affine sets“.  Natalia Jurga, a newly appointed postdoc working with Ian Morris, is also attending BMC and is giving a talk in the “Dynamics Workshop” entitled “A dimension gap for Bernoulli measures for the Gauss map“.
