Analysis of Fluid Stability, 25th June - 3rd July 2009

An instructional conference on the "Analysis of Fluid Stability" will be held in Edinburgh from 25 Jun-3 Jul 2009. The conference is sponsored by The Centre for Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs of the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences; it will be hosted by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences. Consult the web page for details.

SPDEs: Computations and Applications, 29th September - 1st October 2008

This is a two and a half day meeting aimed at introducing SPDEs, their analysis, applications and numerics. It is aimed at people with no previous background in SPDEs or stochastics. Some financial support is available for interested researchers at all levels. Funded by the Maxwell Centre for Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs.

The ICMS website contains details of the conference, including how to register.

Maxwell Centre PDE Mini-Symposium, 24th February 2009

Tuesday, 24 February, 2009
Venue: ICMS, 14 India Street, Edinburgh
Speakers: Gilles Carron (Université de Nantes) and Nicolaos Kapouleas (Brown University)

First talk starts at 3pm. There will be a dinner afterwards. For further information, see the Mini-Symposium website.

Crash-Courses in Analysis and PDEs, First Session 12th - 14th March 2009

Prof Nicolas Burq (Université Paris-Sud)
Supercritical waves and Schrodinger equations

Prof David Lannes (Ecole Normale Supérieure)
High Frequency Nonlinear Optics: from the Nonlinear Schrodinger approximation to ultrashort pulses equations

We present the first two lecture courses in this new series organised by the CANPDE. Prof Burq and Prof Lannes will each deliver 3 two-hour instructional lectures. The courses are mainly aimed at PhD students and young researchers; however registration is open to anyone interested in the area. The crash-course will begin with registration at 12:00 on Thursday 12th March and will finish at 14:00 on Saturday 14th March. Please visit the website for further details.

Venue:
Department of Mathematics,
Heriot-Watt University
Colin Maclaurin Building,
Edinburgh,

A poster advert can also be downloaded.

Co-sponsored by the Maxwell Centre for Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs and the Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE.

Mathematics of Climate and Weather Forecasting (Tentative), 30th March - 3rd April 2009

Four Mini-Courses and nine invited lectures. Organised by Oxford University, the Maxwell Institute and the Met Office. Those interested in this event may also be interested in the EISF event above.

Black Holes in a Vacuum: Examples and Uniqueness Properties, 30th March - 4th April 2009

Alexandru Ionescu will describe some results regarding black holes as part of the LMS Invited Lectures Series 2009. Co-sponsored by the Centre for Analysis and PDEs. More details are on the event website.

These lectures will develop the mathematical theory in General Relativity of black holes and culminate in addressing a fundamental conjecture in this area; namely that the domain of outer communication of a regular, stationary, four dimensional, vacuum black hole is isometrically diffeomorphic to the domain of outer communication of a Kerr black hole. Research students are particularly encouraged to attend.

All mathematicians are welcome to attend the lectures. There will be a registration fee of £30, payable on arrival. The registration fee will be waived for research students.

Financial support is available to support participants. Priority will be given to research students and mathematicians who would benefit from attending the lectures, but who would otherwise be prevented from attending by financial constraints.

To express interest in taking part in the Invited Lecture Series, contact James Wright (J.R.Wright@ed.ac.uk).

Crash-Courses in Analysis and PDEs, Second Session 15th - 16th October 2009

Prof Laszlo Szekelyhidi (Universitat Bonn)

Convex integration for isometric immersions and the Euler equations

See here for details.

Co-sponsored by the Maxwell Centre for Analysis and Nonlinear PDEs and the Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE.
