Andrea Fontanella is visiting the String Theory Group at the Mathematical Institute, Oxford University, this week, and on Monday 26 February he is giving a talk in the String Theory Seminar on “Heterotic near horizon geometries“. An abstract of the talk can be found here. The talk is based on the papers arXiv:1605.05635 and arXiv:1610.09949. Andrea […]

Carina Dunlop visited the Department of Mathematics at the University of Portsmouth yesterday (Wednesday 21 February) to give a talk in their Mathematics Seminar Series. The title of her talk was “Mechanical models for cell and tissue mechanotransduction“.  The abstract follows similar lines to her recent talks at Oxford (link here) and Southampton (link here).

Jan Gutowski is visiting the Department of Mathematics at King’s College London today (Wednesday 14 February), and giving a talk in the Triangle Seminar Series on “Highly supersymmetric AdS solutions“. Anti-de-Sitter solutions play an important role in the gauge-theory/gravity correspondence, and understanding their properties has provided important insights into the dual field theories. In the […]

The paper “q-Poincare invariance of the AdS-3/CFT-2 R-matrix” co-authored by Riccardo Borsato (Nordita-Sweden), Surrey PhD student Joakim Strömwall and Alessandro Torrielli has been accepted for publication in Physical Review D.  The final form preprint is available for downloading here.

The paper “Fluid sloshing in rectangular vessels with side-wall baffles using conformal mappings of multiply-connected domains” by Matt Turner has been accepted for publication in the Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics.  Final form preprint available here. The paper cleverly utilizes conformal mappings of a multiply connected domain to formulate a numerical procedure which […]

Carina Dunlop visited the Mathematical Institute at Oxford University on Friday 2nd February to give a talk in the Mathematical  Biology and Ecology Seminar Series.  The title of her talk was “Mechanical models for cell and tissue mechanotransduction“.  The ability of cells to sense and respond to the mechanical properties of their environments is fundamental […]
