We present an exposition of our ongoing project in a new area of applicable mathematics: practical computation with finitely generated linear groups over infinite fields. Methodology and algorithms available for this class of groups are surveyed. We... Read More about Linear groups and computation.

Additional gradings on generalisations of Khovanov homology and invariants of embedded surfaces (2018)
Journal Article
Olegovich Manturov, V., & Rushworth, W. (2018). Additional gradings on generalisations of Khovanov homology and invariants of embedded surfaces. Journal of Knot Theory and Its Ramifications, 27(9), https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218216518420014

We define additional gradings on two generalisations of Khovanov homology (one due to the first author, the other due to the second), and use them to define invariants of various kinds of embeddings. These include invariants of links in thickened sur... Read More about Additional gradings on generalisations of Khovanov homology and invariants of embedded surfaces.

The boundary integral formulation of Stokes flows includes slender-body theory (2018)
Journal Article
Koens, L., & Lauga, E. (2018). The boundary integral formulation of Stokes flows includes slender-body theory. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 850, Article R1. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2018.483

The incompressible Stokes equations can classically be recast in a boundary integral (BI) representation, which provides a general method to solve low-Reynolds-number problems analytically and computationally. Alternatively, one can solve the Stokes... Read More about The boundary integral formulation of Stokes flows includes slender-body theory.

Primordial Gravitational Waves and Reheating in a New Class of Plateau-Like Inflationary Potentials (2018)
Journal Article

We study a new class of inflation model parametrized by the Hubble radius, such that aH∝exp(−αφ)n. These potentials are plateau-like, and reduce to the power-law potentials in the simplest case n=2. We investigate the range of model parameters that i... Read More about Primordial Gravitational Waves and Reheating in a New Class of Plateau-Like Inflationary Potentials.

An ambitwistor string field theory approach to supergravity (2018)
Thesis
Riccombeni, D. A. An ambitwistor string field theory approach to supergravity. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4398544

In this thesis a covariant closed superstring field theory, equivalent to classical ten-dimensional Type II supergravity, is presented. The defining conformal field theory is the ambitwistor string worldsheet theory of Mason and Skinner [1]. This t... Read More about An ambitwistor string field theory approach to supergravity.

Algorithms for experimenting with Zariski dense subgroups (2018)
Journal Article

We give a method to describe all congruence images of a finitely generated Zariski dense group . The method is applied to obtain efficient algorithms for solving this problem in odd prime degree n; if n = 2 then we compute all congruence images only...

Half-plane partial slip contact problems with a constant normal load subject to a shear force and differential bulk tension (2018)
Journal Article

This article provides a new form of solution to half-plane contact problems in partial slip where a normal load has been applied, held constant and is subsequently loaded with both a shear force and differential bulk tension. It uses a formulation wh... Read More about Half-plane partial slip contact problems with a constant normal load subject to a shear force and differential bulk tension.

On the deflection of a liquid jet by an air-cushioning layer (2018)
Journal Article

A hierarchy of models is formulated for the deflection of a thin two-dimensional liquid jet as it passes over a thin air-cushioning layer above a rigid flat impermeable substrate. We perform a systematic derivation of the leading-order equations of m... Read More about On the deflection of a liquid jet by an air-cushioning layer.

Solution of half-plane contact problems by distributing climb dislocations (2018)

We derive a novel method for addressing half-plane contact problems by using distributions of climb dislocations over the contact patch to balance the relative overlapping profile of the contacting bodies. Using this technique, we are able to forgo i... Read More about Solution of half-plane contact problems by distributing climb dislocations.

Large deviations for the annealed Ising model on inhomogeneous random graphs: spins and degrees (2018)
Journal Article

We prove a large deviations principle for the total spin and the number of edges under the annealed Ising measure on generalized random graphs. We also give detailed results on how the annealing over the Ising model changes the degrees of the vertice...
