Postdoctoral position at the University of Iceland

There is a three-year postdoctoral position available at the University of Iceland financed by The Icelandic Centre for Research, http://www.rannis.is. The research project is called: „Complex Analysis with Emphasis on Pluripotential Theory“ We are mainly interested in the theory of holomorphic and plurisubharmonic functions and we are especially interested in applications of the L^2 method for constructing holomorphic […]

Málstofa í stærðfræði Fyrirlesari: David Lowe Titill: Cosmology from conformal field theory Staðsetning: VR-156 Tími: Þriðjudagur 31. febrúar, frá 15:00-16:00. Ágrip: Our universe appears to be entering a de Sitter phase, where expansion becomes dark energy dominated. In this limit, the isometries of the spacetime are the same as the conformal group. There exists an
