Upcoming events such as conferences, workshops, and educational activities will be posted here.
Maths Society "What mathematics did for me", by Dr MC Faulkes
Tuesday 8 February 2011
Short Bio: Dr Faulkes is the founder of the Dill Faulkes Educational Trust, which supports educational programmes that seek to inspire young people. Dr Faulkes did his first degree and his PhD in mathematics, and went on to do post-doc research in general relativity. He then left academia and went into software. He worked for the company Logica, later SPL which was bought by Systems Designers. Dr Faulkes invested money in a variety of software companies and following the flotation of Triad and the private sale of SmartGroups.com, he was able to establish his educational trust.
MILES Sustainability Ideas Exchange event
Wednesday 4 May 2011
The first MILES Ideas Exchange event will be held on 4th and 5th May and the theme for the event will be 'Sustainability'.
The Ideas Exchange will be an intensive two-day ideas generation event bringing together a diverse group of researchers and academics from the University of Surrey. During the event the group will identify research challenges relevant to the theme of 'Sustainability' and develop innovative project ideas to address these challenges. There is up to £30k available to support the research projects resulting from the Sustainability Ideas Exchange.
Annual LDSG Meeting
Friday 6 May 2011
On Friday May 6th, there will be a London Dynamical Systems Group meeting at the University of Surrey.
New methods in boundary scattering theory: from Yangians to quantum affine algebras
Tuesday 1 November 2011
Abstract: In this talk I shall present the "reflection Hopf algebra" formalism. This formalism may be used in boundary scattering theory and is a natural extension of the usual Hopf algebra for the analysis of the reflection processes. I shall give several examples where this formalism proved to be very useful. They include the (generalized) twisted Yangians in AdS/CFT correspondence and the coideal quantum affine algebra of the Deformed Hubbard Chain. The talk will be based on arXiv: 1010.3761, 1101.6062 and 1110.4596.
London Dynamical Systems Group meeting (LDSG)
Friday 30 March 2012
On Friday March 30, the first London Dynamical Systems Group meeting (LDSG) of this year will taken place at the University of Surrey.
Aspects of Conformal and Superconformal Field Theories
Friday 13 April 2012
This conference is intended to discuss and review recent developments in conformal and superconformal field theories and to commemorate the work of Francis Dolan in this area. It will take place on Friday, 13th April 2012 in DAMTP, University of Cambridge.
Leverhulme Lectures
Thursday 3 May 2012
There will be a series of Leverhulme Lectures by Jon Aaronson (Tel Aviv). None of the talks will assume attendance at the previous (or future) talks. The first will be held on Thursday afternoon (time to be announced) and the second on Friday morning at 11am. The third talk is part of the one day ergodic theory meeting and will be held at 1.15pm on Friday. All three talks will be in room 39AA04. There is no funding (beyond expenses associated to the one day ergodic theory meeting to participating institutions) but we are happy to help with finding accommodation.
Infinite Ergodic Theory Workshop
Monday 28 May 2012
The format for the workshop will consist of 4 or 5 talks per day leaving plenty of time for mathematical discussions. The meeting will begin Monday afternoon and end at lunchtime on Friday.
