Up to three fully-funded studentships are available for highly-motivated candidates to undertake PhD research within the Department of Mathematics at Aberystwyth University.
The research group in Mathematical Modelling of Structures, Solids and Fluids has an international reputation in the study of complex fluids and structures, offering a unified approach to the mathematical modelling, computation and analysis of materials.
Projects should be in the area of mathematical modelling of multiphysics phenomena in complex materials with microstructure, for example deformation, waves, fracture and damage propagation in inhomogeneous structures.

“LINEAR RESPONSE AND PERIODIC ORBITS”
I’m uploading the lecture notes of a minicourse, in the Pisa-Hokkaido summer school 2015.
It is a very elementary approach to the subject, intended for advanced undergaduate students or first years Ph.D. ones. Notes_2015_hokudai2
I am uploading the lecture notes of a course I gave in Camerino in the academic years 2003-2004 and 2004-2005.

On Thursday 3rd September there will be a special session at the 17th European Women in Maths general meeting in Cortona on “Dynamical aspects of number theory”. It runs from 10:00 - 13:00, and there will be short talks by Valerie Berthé, Karma Dajani, Charlene Kalle, Henna Koivusalo and Nicola Oswald.
Registration for the conference is unfortunately already closed, but if anyone is nearby and wants to come only for this morning session, I can’t imagine there would be any problem.
When: Wednesday July 22, 2015, at 11:30
Where: Seminario I, Dept. of Mathematics, Università di Bologna
Who: Francesco Cellarosi (Queen’s University, Canada)
What: Seminar “Recent progress towards Sarnak’s and Chowla’s Conjectures”
Abstract: I will present an overview of Sarnak’s conjecture on the disjointness of the Möbius function from any deterministic sequence and the related Chowla’s conjecture on the self-correlations of the Möbius function. Some progress towards weaker versions of these conjectures have been made recently, and I plan to illustrate them.

“AN INTEGRABLE BILLIARD CLOSE TO AN ELLIPSE OF SMALL ECCENTRICITY IS AN ELLIPSE”
Abstract: In 1927 G. Birkhoff conjectured that if a billiard in a strictly convex smooth domain is integrable, the domain has to be an ellipse (or a circle). The conjecture is still wide open, and presents remarkable relations with open questions in inverse spectral theory and spectral rigidity.
