About Algebra and Analysis, PhD - at University of Nottingham

Course overview:

There are strong research groups in algebra, arithmetic and algebraic geometry, group theory and complex and functional analysis.

A brief overview of certain specific research interests includes:

analysis of magnetic materials
analytic K-theory (including tensor products)
algebraic cobordism
algebraic K-theory
banach algebras
c*-algebras and their classification
calculus of variations, PDEs and networks
cohomology
collective behaviour of vortex lattices in superconductors
combinatorial and geometric group theory (including growth and finiteness of groups)
data clustering
document linking
elliptic curves
forward-backward diffusion equations
geometric data analysis
image processing
Iwasawa theory
meromorphic function theory (particularly value distribution theory)
modular and automorphic forms
nonassociative algebras
quadratic forms and forms of higher degree
quadratic and Hermitian lattices
vortex dynamics

Conferences and seminars:

Postgraduate students are encouraged to participate in the many School research-related activities, and attend appropriate national and international conferences. We also offer a diverse range of research seminars, which you are welcome to attend.

Research students also have access to specialised mathematical training courses such as those provided by the Academy for PhD Training in Statistics (APTS) or the Mathematics Access Grid Conferencing (MAGIC) group who run courses using videoconferencing technology.

Research:

The school has active research groups in many branches of Applied Mathematics (comprising Mathematical Physics and Theoretical Mechanics), Pure Mathematics and Statistics. It is also host to the Centre for Mathematical Medicine and Biology. Much of the research undertaken is multidisciplinary and crosses traditional boundaries.

The taught masters programmes offered in the school have been carefully designed to reflect our research strengths and are being constantly informed and updated by the work taking place in our research groups.
