Subglacial hydrology regulates oscillations in marine ice streams
Haseloff, M Hewitt, I Katz, R

Open to final year PhD students at the University of Oxford, working across areas including, but not limited to: Machine Learning, Quantitative Finance, Mathematics,  Computer Science, Statistics, Physics and Engineering.

Harris Hill have several Maths teaching positions with leading independent schools in London and the South East of England from September 2025. These are permanent positions which would entail teaching Maths to A level. 

Essential: An excellent academic background including an undergraduate degree in Maths or related discipline.

A dedicated quiet room is available in the Andrew Wiles Building for staff, students, visitors and guests who need space for reflection or prayer. Room S0.30, at ground level on the south of the building can be accessed during building hours via Reception, or by using your keycard. There is step-free access available for this facility. Please do let your guests and visitors know.

Kathleen Hyndman - Nature+Maths=Art

Further Information

The Mathematical Institute is delighted to be hosting a major exhibition of artist Kathleen Hyndman's mathematically inspired work.

The exhibition of drawings and paintings illustrate Hyndman’s desire to see nature and the world around her in mathematical sequences and geometrical patterns. Golden Section proportions and angles, prime numbers as well as Fibonacci numbers and eccentric constructions are all used to create works achieving a calm and balanced unity.

Born in Essex, Hyndman trained at Kingston-upon-Thames School of Art and exhibited widely in the UK and abroad, including MOMA Oxford and the Hayward Annual in London. As well as a full time artist, she was also a teacher and mother of two. She lived and had her studio in Kingston Bagpuize in Oxfordshire and had exhibitions at Zuleika Gallery in Woodstock until her death in 2022.

Open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

The exhibition is curated by Zuleika Gallery and Professor Martin Kemp FBA, and will run until June 2026.

Relative Invertibility and Full Dualizability of Finite Braided Tensor Categories

Thibault Décoppet
(Harvard University)
Abstract

I will discuss an enriched version of Shimizu's characterizations of non-degeneracy for finite braided tensor categories. Using these characterizations, it follows that an enriched finite braided tensor category is invertible as an object of the Morita 4-category of enriched braided tensor categories if and only if it is non-degenerate. As an application, I will explain how to extend the full dualizability result of Brochier-Jordan-Synder by showing that a finite braided tensor category is fully dualizable in the Morita 4-category of braided tensor categories if its symmetric center is separable.
