James Grant is visiting the Institute Henri Poincare in Paris this semester for a three-month programme on “Mathematical General Relativity“.  The programme takes place from 14 September to 18 December.  Further information can be obtained at the ihp website here.

Ian Morris is visiting the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews today (Thursday 22 October) to give the Pure Mathematics Colloquium.  The title of his talk is “Exponential growth rates of sets of matrices” and an abstract and further details of the colloquium series can be found here.

Ian Morris is at Queen Mary, University of London, today (Wednesday 21 October) for a One-day Ergodic Theory Meeting, where he has been invited to give the opening talk of the meeting.  The title of the talk is “A lower bound for the matrix pressure function and applications“.  This meeting is a part of a […]

The paper “Runge-Kutta time semidiscretizations of semilinear PDEs with nonsmooth data“, co-authored by Claudia Wulff and Christopher Evans (a former Surrey student) has been accepted for publication in Numerische Mathematik.   In the paper they study semilinear evolution equations posed on a Hilbert space. In particular the semilinear wave equation and nonlinear Schrodinger equation with […]
