Topological Dynamics in the Physical and Biological SciencesMonth: July 2012 Date: July 16--December 21 Name: Topological Dynamics in the Physical and Biological Sciences Location: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, United Kingdom. Description
The programme is intended to stimulate interaction between applied mathematicians, biologists and physicists who frequently encounter dynamical problems that have some explicit or implicit topological content. We use the term 'topological' to convey the idea of structures, e.g. knots, links or braids in 3D, that exhibit some measure of invariance under continuous deformation. Dynamical evolution is then subject to the topological constraints that express this invariance. A basic common problem is to determine minimum energy structures (and routes towards these structures) permitted by such constraints; and to explore mechanisms, e.g.diffusive, by which such constraints may be broken. Workshops: A number of workshops will take place during the programme. For full details please see: OrganizersProfessor K. Bajer (Warsaw), Professor T. W. Kephart (Vanderbilt), Professor Y. Kimura (Nagoya), Professor H. K. Moffatt (Cambridge) and Professor A. Stasiak (Lausanne). Information |
