The fifty sixth meeting of the North British Mathematical Physics Seminar was held on Tuesday 4 June 2019 at the University of York.
Note: these people participated.
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically non-trivial spin configurations experimentally observed in thin-film magnets, with potential applications to memory storage and computation. I will introduce the basic model and explain how with a specific choice of model parameters a large family of explicit solutions to the Euler-Lagrange equations can be found.
These maps will get you from the railway station to the University of York (the university-provided one doesn't show the station). The Departement of Mathematics is in building J2 (now James College), on the west campus.
Limited funds are available to help with travel expenses of those with no other source of funding, especially postgraduate students and postdocs. Please book early to take advantage of the cheaper advance-purchase train fares. For how to claim please see the main NBMPS page.
If you have any questions, please email the local organiser, Benoit Vicedo. There is no need to notify us in order to attend.
