Cesare Tronci’s paper on “A Lagrangian kinetic model for collisionless magnetic reconnection” has been accepted for publication in the journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion.  This journal has an impact factor of 2.731. In the paper, a new fully kinetic system is proposed for modeling collisionless magnetic reconnection. The formulation relies on fundamental principles in […]

Ian Morris gave an invited talk at the One Day Ergodic Theory Meeting, held at the School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary College, University of London, on Wednesday 7th November.  The talk was on “Unavoidable structures in positive-density subsets of Euclidean space; or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the weak-* topology on […]
