6th Early Career Researchers South East Mathematical Physics Seminar
Conference: 29 Jul 2019
Description:
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the 6th Early Career Researchers South East Mathematical Physics Seminar.
If you are planning to attend, we encourage you to visit the website where you should register by the 22nd July. Here you can also find the seminar programme, abstracts and other information:
https://semps2019city.weebly.com
The speakers will be:
Hugh Jones (Imperial College London), "A Review of PT Symmetry in Quantum Mechanics and Classical Optics"
Olalla Castro-Alvaredo (City, University of London), "Entanglement Dynamics in the Ising Field Theory"
Dionysios Anninos (King's College London), TBA
Manya Sahni (King's College London), "On the Localization of 5D Spinning Black Hole"
Joseph Durnin (King's College London), "Prethermalisation and Thermalisation in Perturbed Integrable Systems"
Rajath Radhakrishnan (Queen Mary University of London), "Entanglement Entropy in Topological Quantum Field Theory"
This meeting is funded by the London Mathematical Society. Some limited funds are available to help with the travel expenses of students and postdocs with no other means of funding. Please contact one of the organisers if you will need any help with this.
Looking forward to seeing you later at City in July,

Description:
The study of gauge theory and conformal field theory have lead to remarkable advancements in theoretical physics. The first Hamilton school on Mathematical Physics will be held at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, from the 20th to the 22nd of May, and will focus on modern advancements in gauge theory and conformal field theory, with a particular eye towards providing an interdisciplinary treatment of different subfields in these topics.
The ability to combine ideas from different subfields continues to play an increasingly large role in theoretical physics. For example, modern methods in amplitudes include tools that range from Hopf algebras, to modular forms, to the appearance and use of Yangian symmetries. On the other side of the spectrum, generating functions of topological invariants of various moduli spaces that are computed by gauge and string theoretic methods are also expressed in terms of modular forms and their generalizations. Furthermore, theories like the Seiberg-Witten gauge theory provide another route to integrability. It seems therefore that good parallel understanding of aspects of gauge theory and conformal field theory, integrability and modular forms could be of crucial importance for in the future.

Description:
Dear Colleague,
You are cordially invited to attend the book launch for Topology & Physics at City University, London on the 16th April, 18:00.
Edited by C N Yang, Mo-Lin Ge, and Yang-Hui He; this significant volume contains contributions from an assembly of grand masters in the field of mathematical physics.
The launch will include an introduction and Q&A hosted by editor and City University Professor of Mathematics, Yang-Hui He, and chapter contributor Professor Minhyong Kim of Merton College, Oxford as well contributor Professor N. Manton (TBC).
Please note, this launch will be held in honour of Sir Michael Francis Atiyah, who co-chaptered the ‘Complex Geometry of Nuclei and Atoms’ before he recently passed away. Sir Michael’s work has had great influence in fields beyond mathematics, extending to aspects of theoretical physics such as quantum theory and general relativity. We are proud to have worked with him on this project.
Light refreshments will be provided.
Please register your interest at the following link below.
