The first in the 2015-2016 series of Applied Geometric Mechanics Network meetings takes place today at Brunel University.  This one-day meeting will cover various disciplines related to geometric quantum dynamics.  Specific topics will include geometry of quantum states and reduction by symmetry.  A full programme can be found here.

As part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the London Mathematical Society, a series of “stories of the impact of mathematics” has been commissioned.  The first of these, “The impact of mathematics on meteorology and weather prediction“, written by Ian Roulstone, has been published today on the London Mathematical Society website.  A link […]

The paper “Equivalent variational approaches to biaxial liquid crystal dynamics” co-authored by Alexander Close and Cesare Tronci has been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London A.  The arXiv verson of the paper can be downloaded here.  Within the framework of liquid crystal flows, the Qian & Sheng model for […]

Anne Skeldon visited the Center for Neuroscience at the University of Zurich on Thursday-Friday 8-9 October to give a seminar on “Modelling changes in sleep timing and duration across the lifespan: changes in circadian rhythmicity or sleep homeostasis?”  The talk was based on joint work with Derk-Jan Dijk (Surrey Sleep Research Centre) and Gianne Derks.

Antonio Pittelli and Martin Wolf visited the Theoretical Physics Group in Padova during the first week of October for a collaborative visit with Prof Dmitri Sorokin.  During the visit Martin gave a seminar on 30 September on self-dual higher gauge theory.  A link to the Padova group is here.
