Cesare Tronci visited the Mathematics Department at the University of Sheffield on Monday 24 March. He gave a talk in the Differential Geometry Seminar on “The geometry of collisionless kinetic theories“. An abstract follows: kinetic theories of multiparticle systems are dynamical continuum models governing the evolution of a probability density function on phase space. These […]

Martin Wolf’s paper, co-authored with Christian Saemann (Heriot-Watt University), has appeared in Communications in Mathematical Physics. The title is “Non-Abelian tensor multiplet equation from twistor space“, with abstract: the paper establishes a Penrose–Ward transform yielding a bijection between holomorphic principal 2-bundles over a twistor space and non-Abelian self-dual tensor fields on six-dimensional flat space-time. Extending […]

Ian Morris visited the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London on Thursday 20 March to give a talk in the Dynamical Systems Seminar. His talk was on “A random dynamical model for the binary Euclidean algorithm“. An abstract follows: the binary Euclidean algorithm is a variation on the classical Euclidean algorithm which is designed […]
