About:
Spectral Theory in the UK has a longstanding history, encompassing the influential works of scientists such as Titchmarsh, Born and Dirac. It naturally sits at the crossroads of numerous branches of mathematics, from the very pure to the more applied side of the subject, including but not limited to operator theory, analysis of PDEs, harmonic analysis, differential geometry, numerical analysis, number theory and mathematical physics.
Research in Spectral Theory is currently expanding rapidly on multiple fronts and experiencing worldwide growth. By bringing together leading experts in the field from all around the world, this workshop provided an effective environment for exchanging ideas, developing new collaborations, and inspiring future generations in the field, building upon the rich and diverse research landscape in Spectral Theory in the UK.
This workshop was one of the central activities of the UK Spectral Theory Network, supported by the Isaac Newton Institute. As such, it featured several contributed talks by Early Career Researchers and had a strong commitment to promoting diversity in Mathematics.
This workshop was organised in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute.
