Zbynek Urban from the Lepage Research Institute in the Czech Republic visited the department for the month of October.  During his visit he interacted with Peter Hydon, Cesare Tronci and Tom Bridges.  Zbynek works in differential geometry, specifically fibre bundles, variational principles, Grassmann fibrations, and variational sequences.

Congratulations to Jessica Rowden on successfully passing her PhD confirmation examination. The examiner was Mark Roberts and the project is co-supervised by David Lloyd and Nigel Gilbert (Sociology). The project title is “Multi-level mathematical models of the real world“.  This project is part of the programme on Evolution and Resilience of Industrial Ecosystems (ERIE). The […]

The paper of Michele Bartuccelli, Jonathan Deane and Sergey Zelik, entitled “Asymptotic expansions and extremals for the critical Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on a torus” has been accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.  The paper gives a comprehensive study of interpolation inequalities for periodic functions with zero mean, including […]
