Matt Turner visited the University of Durham on Friday 31 January to give a talk in the Numerical Analysis Seminar.  The title of the talk was “Fluid sloshing and dynamic coupling”. A moving vessel carrying a fluid can give rise to a wide range of complex and beautiful fluid motions. On the other hand, the […]

Alessandro Torrielli visited the University of Durham on Friday 31 January to give a talk in the Maths HEP Lunchtime Seminar Series.  The title was “Yangians and strings in AdS_3“. In the talk he reviewed recent progress in understanding the scattering theory for strings propagating on AdS_3 backgrounds. The role of Yangians was discussed, and […]
