 The paper of Philip Aston and Neil Bristow on “Alternating period doubling cascades” has been accepted for publication in Nonlinearity.  In the paper, they consider period-doubling cascades in two-dimensional iterated maps in which forward and backward period-doubling bifurcations alternate to form an alternating period-doubling cascade. By tracking the eigenvalues of a typical map through such […]

Elyse Rogers, an undergraduate in mathematics, is doing a summer project, supervised by James Grant, on the topic of “Gravitational collapse in General Relativity“, with the following description: ‘The project will investigate simple models of systems undergoing gravitational collapse to form black holes within General Relativity, Einstein’s classical theory of gravity. Specifically, the project will […]

Ying Huang, an undergraduate in mathematics, is doing a summer research project, supervised by Philip Aston, on the topic of “Reconstruction of Attractors for Blood Pressure Data as a Diagnostic Tool“, with the following description: ‘Collaborators at Kings College have collected data on the blood pressure of a mouse (undisturbed in a cage) 1000 times […]

Alessandro Torrielli’s paper on “The all-loop integrable spin-chain for strings on AdS_3 x S^3 x T^4: the massive sector” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of High-Energy Physics.  The co-authors are Riccardo Borsato (Utrecht), Olof Ohlsson Sax (Utrecht), Alessandro Sfondrini (Utrecht), and Bogdan Stefansks (City U, London).  In the paper they bootstrap the […]

Professor John Kemp, inventor and founder of OWEL visited the department today (10 July) to meet with the Surrey-OWEL research team (Hamid Alemi Ardakani, Matt Turner, and Tom Bridges).  He gave a history of research into OWEL and talked about some of the open problems in ocean wave energy harvesting using the OWEL configuration. Prof […]
