Gianne Derks visited the University of Keele on Wednesday 20 February to give a talk in the Applied Mathematics Seminar series.   The title of the talk is “Viscosity-induced instability for Euler and averaged Euler equations in a circular domain“.

Sara Pasquetti gave a talk on Wednesday 13 February at King’s College London.  It was an exceptional seminar associated with the inaugural meeting of the “London Polygon”.  Her talk was on “Holomorphic blocks in three dimensions“.  The London Polygon is an outgrowth of the “London Triangle”.  The homepage is here.

Pablo Shmerkin visited the University of St Andrews from 26 February to 1 March to work with the fractal and dynamical systems group.  He also gave an analysis seminar on “Multifractal structure of Bernoulli convolutions” and a pure mathematics colloquium on “On sets containing circles/squares centered at every point“.  The abstract for the colloqium follows: […]

Gianne Derks and Anne Skeldon have been awarded MILES funding to work on “Mathematical modelling of circadian processes“.  The project is joint with Dr Simon Archer from the Department of Biochemistry and Physiology and Prof Derk-Jan Dijk from the Surrey Sleep Research Centre.  A short description of the project follows. The primary components that form […]

James Grant attended the Central European Relativity Seminar III in Golm, Germany for 7-9 February.  His talk was titled “On differentiability of volume time functions“.   In the talk he showed differentiability of a class of Geroch’s volume functions on globally hyperbolic manifolds. Furthermore, it was proved that every volume function satisfies a local anti-Lipschitz condition […]
