Theme lead: Dr Nikolaos Fytas
Mathematics stands at the heart of physics and scientific theory. Academics in this theme develop mathematical methods in various physics applications.
Theme members work on a broad range of topics in Mathematical Analysis and Mathematical Physics, including discrete and continuous integrable systems (Dr Grahovski, Dr Papamikos), Lie groups, Lie algebras and symmetries (Dr Grahovski, Dr Papamikos), Analysis of PDEs (Dr Akman, Dr Grahovski, Dr Papamikos), Harmonic analysis and Potential theory (Dr Akman), Algebraic Methods in Differential Equations (Dr Papamikos), Geometric Analysis (Dr Akman), Statistical Physics, Theoretical Physics, Disordered Systems, Computational Methods (Dr Fytas).
Dr Akman currently holds an EPSRC New Investigator Award which funds a Senior Research Officer (Dr Mukherjee) to carry out work on ‘Stability of Brunn-Minkowski inequalities and Minkowski type problems for nonlinear capacity.' Dr Fytas currently holds an EPSRC New Investigator Award which funds a Senior Research Officer (Dr Vasilopoulos) to work on “Random-field effects in spin models: Supersymmetry, criticality, and universality.
Theme members publish in leading international academic journals like Memoirs of the AMS, Advances in Mathematics, Studies in Applied Mathematics, Journal of Physics A, Nuclear Physics B, Physical Review E, Physical Review Letters, and Journal of Statistical Physics.
There are clear and growing synergies in the research interests of the theme:
The theme members actively participate in the activities of the
The theme also runs an annual international workshop PDEs @ Essex.
