Sara Pasquetti gives a seminar at ETH in Switzerland

Sara Pasquetti visited the Department of Mathematics at ETH in Zurich Switzerland this week and gave a talk in the Mathematical Physics Seminar on “Holomorphic blocks and q-deformed correlators“.  A link to the announcement is here. In the talk she discussed how supersymmetric partition functions on various compact manifolds in two, three, four and five […]


Prof Daniel Forger visits from the University of Michigan

Daniel Forger, a Professor of Mathematics, Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan, is visiting the department this week, hosted by Anne Skeldon.  His research is devoted to understanding biological clocks.  His research uses techniques from many fields, including computer simulation, detailed mathematical modeling and mathematical analysis, to understand biological timekeeping.  His webpage […]


Chardard-Bridges paper on symplectic transversality appears in Nonlinearity

The paper “Transversality of homoclinic orbits, the Maslov index, and the symplectic Evans function” co-authored by Frédéric Chardard (Université Jean Monnet) and Tom Bridges has been accepted for publication in Nonlinearity.  Homoclinic orbits of Hamiltonian systems have two important geometric invariants: a Maslov index and a Lazutkin–Treschev invariant. A new relation between the two has […]


Gary Chaffey passes Phd viva

Congratulations to Gary Chaffey on passing his PhD viva today.  His thesis is titled “Modelling the cell cycle“. His project was supervised by Anne Skeldon, David Lloyd and Norman Kirkby (Chemical Engineering, Surrey).  The external examiner was Professor Jon Chapman (Oxford) and the internal examiner was Stephen Gourley.
