Events

In this event, we will provide a safe environment for ECMs to discuss issues related to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) with diversity champions of major mathematical societies and find out what those societies are doing on EDI matters, in particular focused on ECMs. We will begin the event with a talk on “Recognising the partners from the shadows: a whistle tour of the historical examples of compliance with social norms of exclusivity” from our very own Diversity Champion Snezana Lawrence. This will be followed by “connecting with the community”: using spatial.chat or zoom breakout rooms, TBC will each host a discussion based on issues of EDI in mathematics and for ECMs to generate conversation. Topics TBC. As well as these discussions, other ECM committees from the major mathematics societies will be there to answer questions on what they do.

The regional meeting on Monday 4 April 2022 will consists of three talks, by Professor Dame Frances Kirwan (Oxford), Professor Diane Maclagan (Warwick), and Professor Richard Thomas (Imperial College). The lectures are aimed at a general mathematical audience. All interested, whether LMS members or not, are most welcome to attend this event. This day meeting takes place during the LMS Workshop on Mirrors, Moduli and M-Theory in the Midlands from 4-7 April 2022.

In the second edition of this School – which follows the 2021 online first edition – we aim to bring together experts from different communities to cover the investigation of diffusive systems from several viewpoints: analytically, combining methods and techniques from partial differential equations and dynamical systems to derive and analyse mathematical models for the applied phenomena; numerically, reviewing the most recent techniques and software for the computation of bifurcation diagrams and continuation with respect to the systems’ parameters; and, last but not least, from the applied - in particular biological – viewpoint, since a constant exchange of knowledge between the theoretical investigations and the experimental data is crucial in advancing research in this area.

This LMS Meeting celebrates the work of Alan Turing with a series of scientific and historical lectures, including a talk by Alan Turing's nephew, Sir Dermot Turing. On 23 June 2021, the Bank of England issued a new £50 banknote, which includes excerpts from Alan Turing’s article 'On computable numbers' and we will about the creative journey about new banknote design.

An introductory lecture series by Professor Gitta Kutyniok (LMU, Munich) on the mathematics of deep learning, accompanied by a workshop. The annual Invited Lecturers scheme aims to bring a distinguished overseas mathematician to the United Kingdom to present a small course of about ten lectures spread over a week. Each course of Invited Lectures is on a major field of current mathematical research, and is instructional in nature, being directed both at graduate students beginning research and at established mathematicians who wish to learn about a field outside their own research specialism.

We are happy to announce that a Winter School "Foliations, pseudodifferential operators and groupoids" will be held at University of Göttingen from 29. February to 4. March 2022. There will be 3 lectures given by : Claire Debord, Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu - Paris Rive Gauche, Madeleine Jotz, Universität Würzburg, Victor Nistor, Université de Lorraine. We will also have problem and question sessions led by Iakovos Androulidakis (University of Athens). We kindly ask you to bring this to the attention of interested PhD students and postdocs. This Winter School is funded by the Research Training Group 2491. Partial financial support is available to cover the accommodation of some participants. You can find updated information and the registration link on the webpage of the event: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/rtg2491/winterschool On behalf of the organizers, Jérémy Mougel, Leonid Ryvkin, Thomas Schick.

This workshop fosters scientific interaction among undergraduate and graduate students, young researchers, and senior mathematicians. The program includes a minicourse (taught in Portuguese) to achieve that goal, covering topics at the intersection of the workshop's themes. Several talks by experts working in the field complete the event's program.

The aim of this meeting is to bring together leading experts working in the field of Singularity Theory and Geometry, with spillovers and applications to related topics. By exploring the synergies sitting at the intersection of those areas we expect to unveil new directions of research and to foster new collaboration networks, relevant to the local community. The target audience comprises graduate students, young and senior researchers working in the field.

Fluid mechanics is one of the classical areas in the study of Partial Differential Equations and has been a vast subject of research in the last centuries. The school intends to promote scientific exchange between leading experts and young researchers in fluid mechanics and possible future directions of research of this area. In particular the key topics to be covered are the analysis of both compressible and incompressible fluids (Euler flows, Navier-Stokes equations, MHD equations), free-boundary interface equations (water waves, Muskat problem) and other associated model equations. This Hausdorff school is mainly directed to graduate and postdoctoral students who want to get acquainted with the recent developments and new directions in this field. There will be three courses and some invited lectures by experts in the field.

MATRIX-SMRI Symposium: Nijenhuis Geometry and integrable systems, February 2022 Joint Symposium, 7 - 18 February 2022 Week 1 (7 - 11 Feb): Online via Zoom Week 2 (14 - 18 Feb): On-site at MATRIX, Creswick (via invitation) The research symposium explores Nijenhuis geometry and uses it as a link connecting finite and infinite dimensional integrable systems. We shall use the methods and results of infinite dimensional integrable systems to attack famous conjectures in the theory of finite-dimensional integrable systems, in particular concerning existence, description and classification of polynomially integrable geodesic flows on the torus and on the sphere. We will employ recent advances in projective geometry and the theory of separation of variables to construct and study new examples of multicomponent integrable systems. While Riemannian and Poisson geometries have been very well studied, Nijenhuis geometry is a relatively new research area. In the first online week of the workshop, an introduction to Nijenhuis geometry will be given. We will present a general research programme in the area and will show that it is realistic by presenting first nontrivial easy-to-formulate results. We will discuss milestones of the theory, open problems, and sketch possible applications. Co-Chairs: Alexey Bolsinov works as a Reader in Mathematics at Loughborough University. His research results include the discovery of a new phenomenon in dynamical systems known as integrable chaos, theory of orbital classification for integrable two-degrees-of-freedom systems, loop molecule method in topology of integrable systems and new classes of holonomy groups and symmetric spaces in pseudo-Riemannian geometry. Under his supervision, 18 PhD students successfully completed their research projects, many of them continue their academic careers in USA, Russia, Brazil, Germany and China. Vladimir Matveev is a Chair of Mathematics at the University of Jena. He has solved a number of major open problems in several areas of Difierential Geometry and in the theory of Integrable Systems including two problems explicitly posed by Sophus Lie in 1882, the projective Lichnerowich conjecture and c-projective Yano-Obata conjecture. He constructed two new examples of natural integrable Hamiltonian systems on closed surfaces, Dullin-Matveev and Matveev-Shevchishin systems.
