 Piotr Sulkowski visited on Friday 1st  November from the University of Warsaw, to give a colloquium talk on “From random matrices to RNA interactions“.  The talk discussed the triple interface between mathematics, physics and biology.  An abstract follows: the theory of random matrices plays an important role in various branches of mathematics and physics. An […]

Sergey Zelik is visiting the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin for a 3 day international workshop on “Extreme Nonlinear Optics & Solitons” held during 28-30 October.  The workshop covers nonlinear optics, light “bullets”, optical rogue waes, extreme pulses, fiber solitons, optical turbulence, and solitons in metamaterials.  Sergey is speaking on “Center manifold reduction for weakly interacting […]

Ian Roulstone has an ariticle on the Huffington Post “Techblog” about some of the theory behind the Met Office prediction of the St Jude’s Day storm.  The title of the article is “Invisible in St Jude’s Storm: The Role of Maths in Getting the Forecast Right” and it can be found here.

James Grant is visiting the Mathematical Institute at Oxford today (Monday 28 October) to give a talk in the Partial Differential Equations Seminar series.  The talk is on “Low regularity Riemannian metrics and the positive mass theorem“.  The talk establishes that the positive mass theorem holds for asymptotically flat n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with a metric […]

A new network on “Applied Geometric Mechanics” has been formed linking research groups at Brunel, Imperial and Surrey.  Key themes are shape analysis, geometric quantum dynamics, geometric fluid mechanics, and geometric numerical integration.  The network has been started by a grant from the London Mathematical Society.  The principal organiser of the network is Cesare Tronci.
