The paper “On the effective field theory of heterotic vacua“, by Jock McOrist, has been published in Letters in Mathematical Physics. The effective field theory of heterotic vacua that realise R(3,1) preserving N=1 supersymmetry is studied. In a previous paper the kinetic terms for moduli were calculated, deducing the moduli metric and Kähler potential. In […]

The paper “The Hawking-Penrose singularity theorem for C(1,1)-Lorentzian metrics” co-authored by Melanie Graf (Vienna), James D.E. Grant, Michael Kunzinger (Vienna), and Roland Steinbauer (Vienna), has been published in Communications in Mathematical Physics. A link to the published paper is here. The paper shows that the H-P singularity theorem continues to hold for Lorentzian metrics that […]

Natalie Douglas was at the National Oceanography Centre at the University of Southampton on Saturday 9 June, as part of a demonstration to the general public of the detection of infrared waves in producing thermal imagery. This technology feeds into the analysis and assimilation of data that Natalie is working on with the National Centre […]
