Rebecca Hoyle was a speaker at the London Meeting on Evolutionary Dynamics and Complexity held at City University on Friday 13 June.  The aim of the meeting was to bring together researchers in the greater London area working on modelling of evolutionary dynamics and complexity, and also to explore the idea of a London Network […]

Anton Savostianov, a 3rd year PhD student at Surrey, supervised by Sergey Zelik, has been shortlisted for the Student Paper Competition at the 10th American Institute of Mathematics Conference, to be held in Madrid in July.   Anton will speak on “Strichartz estimates and smooth attractors for wave equations with fractional damping in bounded domains“. The […]

The paper “Six-dimensional superconformal field theories from principal 3-bundles over twistor space“, co-authored by Christian Saemann (Heriot-Watt University) and Martin Wolf has been published in Letters in Mathematical Physics.  In the paper they construct manifestly superconformal field theories in six dimensions which contain a non-Abelian tensor multiplet.  In particular, they show how principal 3-bundles over […]

This week (Mon-Wed, 9-11 June) Gianne Derks and Anne Skeldon will be participating in “Universities Week” at the Natural History Museum in London.  They are part of the University of Surrey’s exhibit on The Science and Secrets of Sleep. For this exhibit Anne has put together an interactive piece of software that demonstrates the basic […]

The paper “Fitness consequences of maternal and grandmaternal effects” has been accepted for publication in the journal Ecology and Evolution.  The authors are Roshan Prizak (Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay), Thomas Ezard (Centre for Biological Sciences, University of Southampton) and Rebecca Hoyle.  An electronic version of the paper will be available […]

Gianne Derks was invited to speak at SPT2014 and also gave the opening talk  on Monday morning.  SPT2014 took place in Cala Conone (Sardinia, Italy) from 25 May to 1 June. The conference is part of a series of conferences on “Symmetry and Perturbation Theory” that have been running since 1996. The website for SPT2014 […]
