Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics

Welcome to DPMMS 

 

The Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) (including the Statistical Laboratory as a sub-department) conducts teaching and research across a wide range of pure mathematics, probability and statistics.   DPMMS currently hosts over 100 Academic and Research Staff and around 80 PhD students over three Pavilions as part of the Centre for Mathematical Sciences.

Floer theory beyond Floer, March 23-27 March 2026

This workshop will showcase recent developments in a range of different areas of modern holomorphic curve theory, including Floer homotopy theory, symplectic dynamics and symplectic aspects of mirror symmetry. Optimistically this might help initiate new interactions between these different areas.
