  • An Invitation to Toric Topology: Vertex Four of a Remarkable Tetrahedron
    An Invitation to Toric Topology: Vertex Four of a Remarkable Tetrahedron. Buchstaber, Victor M and Ray, Nigel 2008 MIMS EPrint: 2008.31 Manchester Institute for Mathematical Sciences School of Mathematics The University of Manchester Reports available from: http://eprints.maths.manchester.ac.uk/ And by contacting: The MIMS Secretary School of Mathematics The University of Manchester Manchester, M13 9PL, UK ISSN 1749-9097 Contemporary Mathematics An Invitation to Toric Topology: Vertex Four of a Remarkable Tetrahedron Victor M Buchstaber and Nigel Ray 1. An Invitation Motivation. Sometime around the turn of the recent millennium, those of us in Manchester and Moscow who had been collaborating since the mid-1990s began using the term toric topology to describe our widening interests in certain well-behaved actions of the torus. Little did we realise that, within seven years, a significant international conference would be planned with the subject as its theme, and delightful Japanese hospitality at its heart. When first asked to prepare this article, we fantasised about an authorita- tive and comprehensive survey; one that would lead readers carefully through the foothills above which the subject rises, and provide techniques for gaining sufficient height to glimpse its extensive mathematical vistas. All this, and more, would be illuminated by references to the wonderful Osaka lectures! Soon afterwards, however, reality took hold, and we began to appreciate that such a task could not be completed to our satisfaction within the timescale avail- able. Simultaneously, we understood that at least as valuable a service could be rendered to conference participants by an invitation to a wider mathematical au- dience - an invitation to savour the atmosphere and texture of the subject, to consider its geology and history in terms of selected examples and representative literature, to glimpse its exciting future through ongoing projects; and perhaps to locate favourite Osaka lectures within a novel conceptual framework.

  • Margaret Dusa Mcduff Hon Dsc Warwick Oral Version
    Margaret Dusa McDuff Hon DSc Warwick oral version Mr Vice Chancellor, Graduates, Graduands, Ladies and Gentlemen, We have with us today a mathematician whose work has opened a hugely fertile new branch of mathematics. She has brought symplectic geometry and topology to the attention of the mathematical world. Dusa McDuff is Professor of Mathematics at Barnard College in New York. Born in London, Dusa grew up in Edinburgh, where her father the influential biologist C.H. Waddington was Professor of Genetics. Dusa wanted to be a mathematician from an early age. She studied in Edinburgh then Cambridge. Her doctoral work was published in the top journal Annals of Mathematics and remains important today. Subsequently Dusa studied in Moscow with the great Russian mathematician Israel Gelfand. After various temporary posts, in 1976 she was appointed to a lectureship at Warwick. However in 1978 she moved to the State University of New York at Stony Brook. In 2007 she was appointed to the Kimmel chair at Barnard, sister college to Columbia University. Shortly after her move to the US, Dusa's research shifted towards symplectic geometry. This subject has its origins in mechanics and continues to be important in various branches of physics. In topology the objects are flabby, and in geometry they are rigid. Symplectic geometry sits in between. In the late 1970s symplectic geometry was beginning to develop in completely new directions, spurred by deep ideas introduced by Mikhail Gromov (one of the world's most creative living mathematicians). Over the years Dusa and her students have played a central role in developing this new field called symplectic topology.

  • Emissary | Spring 2021
    Spring 2021 EMISSARY M a t h e m a t i c a lSc i e n c e sRe s e a r c hIn s t i t u t e www.msri.org Mathematical Problems in Fluid Dynamics Mihaela Ifrim, Daniel Tataru, and Igor Kukavica The exploration of the mathematical foundations of fluid dynamics began early on in human history. The study of the behavior of fluids dates back to Archimedes, who discovered that any body immersed in a liquid receives a vertical upward thrust, which is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. Later, Leonardo Da Vinci was fascinated by turbulence, another key feature of fluid flows. But the first advances in the analysis of fluids date from the beginning of the eighteenth century with the birth of differential calculus, which revolutionized the mathematical understanding of the movement of bodies, solids, and fluids. The discovery of the governing equations for the motion of fluids goes back to Euler in 1757; further progress in the nineteenth century was due to Navier and later Stokes, who explored the role of viscosity. In the middle of the twenti- eth century, Kolmogorov’s theory of tur- bulence was another turning point, as it set future directions in the exploration of fluids. More complex geophysical models incorporating temperature, salinity, and ro- tation appeared subsequently, and they play a role in weather prediction and climate modeling. Nowadays, the field of mathematical fluid dynamics is one of the key areas of partial differential equations and has been the fo- cus of extensive research over the years.

New Honorary Fellows include international statesman, HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal and Professor Robin Hochstrasser, a pioneer in the innovative use of lasers. The RSE’s Fellowship is further strengthened by the election of overseas-based experts including Distinguished Professor of Mathematics, Dusa McDuff and Professor Ian Wilson, a leading expert on HIV-1 and flu viruses. It is through the time and expertise of its broad Fellowship, provided on a voluntary basis, that the RSE can offer wide-ranging public benefit activities. Sir Fred Goodwin, Chief Executive, Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc, John Baxter, Group Head of Engineering at BP and Jim McColl of Clyde Blowers are amongst the new cohort of Fellows from business and industry. Fellows from the Arts and Humanities include John Leighton and Michael Clarke from the The National Galleries of Scotland and the historian Hamish Scott. Fellows from a broad range of the life and physical sciences are also represented including Helen Sang, who is developing transgenic technologies at the Roslin Institute, and Sheila Rowan at the University of Glasgow, a leader in the detection and observation of Gravitational Waves from astrophysical sources. Fellows are elected in recognition of outstanding achievement in their fields and contribution to public service. President of The Royal Society of Edinburgh, Sir Michael Atiyah, OM, FRS, PRSE, HonFREng, HonFMedSci, Hon FFA said: I am delighted to be able to welcome this outstanding cohort of new Fellows to the Society.

  • Characteristic Classes of Smooth Fibrations
    Characteristic classes of smooth fibrations Tadeusz Januszkiewicz ∗ Wroc law University and IMPAN Jaros law K¸edra † Max Planck Institut, Szczecin University and IM PAN October 26, 2018 Abstract We construct characteristic classes of smooth (Hamiltonian) fibra- tions as as fiber integrals of products of Pontriagin (or Chern) classes of vertical vector bundles over the total space of the universal fibration. We give explicit formulae of these fiber integrals for toric manifolds and get estimates of the dimension of the cohomology groups of classifying spaces. Keywords: characteristic class; fiber integration; classifying space.
