British Early Career Mathematicians’ Colloquium (BECMC)

Registration and abstract submissions are now open for the British Early Career Mathematicians’ Colloquium (BECMC).

The BECMC will be held on the 20th - 21st July 2023 at the University of Birmingham. This will be a two-day event aimed at PhD students and early career mathematicians. It offers participants a valuable opportunity to network with others in their field, gain an insight into the active areas of research in a wide range of mathematical disciplines, and give a talk in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Generalized Symmetries from String Theory - a research case study by Dewi Gould

Symmetry underpins all physics research. We look for fundamental and beautiful patterns to describe and explain the laws of nature. One way of explaining symmetry is to ask: "what is the full set of operations I can do to my real-world experiment or abstract theory written on paper that doesn't change any physical measurements or predictions?'' There are simple symmetries we are perhaps already familiar with. For example, lab-based physics experiments usually don't care if you wait an hour to do the experiment or if you rotate your apparatus by 90 degrees.
