The paper AdS3/CFT2 and q-Poincare’ superalgebras co-authored by Joakim Strömwall and Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Physics A. In the paper they discover that a certain deformation of the 1+1 dimensional Poincare’ superalgebra is exactly realised in the massless sector of the AdS3/CFT2 integrable scattering problem. They obtain a […]

Cesare Tronci is visiting the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching Germany this week.  He is an invited speaker at the 2nd Geometric Algorithms and Methods for Plasma Physics Workshop (GAMPP). His talk is on “Variational approach to low-frequency kinetic MHD in the current-coupling scheme“.

Philip Aston and his colleague Manasi Nandi (Kings College London) gave a talk entitled Can maths solve sepsis? at the British Science Festival in Swansea on 8th September which was well received. Their talk described the work that Philip and Manasi are doing in trying to provide early detection of sepsis from cardiovascular data, and […]

The paper “Massless sector of AdS 3 superstrings: a geometric interpretation” co-authored by Andrea Fontanella and Alessandro Torrielli, has been accepted for publication in Physical Review D.  The arXiV version is available here. In the paper, they study the recently discovered q-deformed Poincare’ supersymmetry of the AdS_3/CFT_2 integrable massless scattering, and demonstrate how the S-matrix […]

Sergey Zelik was an invited speaker at the International Conference on Transport and Diffusion in Dynamical Systems which was held in Sao Carlos, Brazil, during 28-31 August.  The title of his talk was “Smoothness of inertial manifolds revisited“.

Congratulations to Sandra Käbisch who passed her PhD viva examination yesterday (6 September 2016).  Her thesis title is “On established and new semi-convexities in the calculus of variations“.  The external examiner was Kewei Zhang (Nottingham) and the internal examiner was James Grant.  Her PhD supervisor was Jon Bevan.
