Durham is one of the leading Mathematical Sciences departments in the UK. Research within the department is broadly categorised into pure mathematics, theoretical physics, numerical analysis, statistics and probability theory. Each year we admit about 120 students to study for a degree in Mathematics, and we currently have around 50 postgraduate students.

Pure Maths Colloquium: Symplectic geometry of Stein Manifolds

14 May 2012 16:00 in CM221

A Stein manifold is a properly embedded submanifold of some
C^n. I will survey invariants of deformation types of Stein manifolds
coming from the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectic
geometry. This survey talk will focus on topological and computational
aspects of the theory.
