Andrea Prinsloo is visiting the Mathematics Department at the University of Durham today and giving the High Energy Physics Lunchtime Seminar on “Giant gravitons in an AdS3/CFT2 Correspondence“. In the talk she describes classes of supersymmetric D1 and D5 branes, known as giant gravitons, in IIB string theory on AdS3 x S3 x S3 x […]

Peter Hydon is giving a Mathematics Colloquium talk at the University of Glasgow today, Friday 10th October. His talk is on “Conservation laws: from differential to difference“. Famously, Noether’s (First) Theorem uses symmetries of a variational problem to generate conservation laws of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations. It is less well-known that one can construct conservation […]

A team in the Fluid Mechanics and Meteorology Group (Alemi Ardakani, Cheng, Roulstone, Turner, Bridges) are part of a network recently funded by EPSRC on “Living with Environmental Change” (LWEC). The LWEC theme involves 22 partners across government that fund environmental change related research. Partners work together across six challenge areas of climate, ecosystems, resources, health, infrastructure […]
