UK Spectral Theory Network

Welcome to the webpage of the UK Spectral Theory Network, gathering researchers in spectral theory working in the United Kingdom.

The UK Spectral Theory Network aims to strengthen the research interaction among people working in spectral theory and adjoining fields in the UK. It offers Early Career Researchers, PhD students and members of the network an effective platform for exploring connections between the multifaceted strands of the subject, exchanging ideas and developing new collaborations. It promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in mathematics,  and inspires future generations of researchers in the field.

As part of the network activities, we organise regular workshops. The participation is open to everyone. You can visit the Events page for more details. 

• First workshop: Workshop on Spectral Theory, 4-6 September 2023, Bristol

• Second workshop: UK Workshop on Spectral Theory, 9-13 September 2024, Edinburgh.

• Third workshop. Spectral Theory Workshop, 14-15 April 2025, Durham.

• Fourth workshop. Spectral Theory Workshop, 26-29 August 2025,  Reading.

There are a number of mini-grants in support of members’ research activities. Please visit the Mini-grant page for the application process, its scope and eligibility. 

• Mini-grants: the fifth call is NOW OPEN! (No hard deadline: applications received are considered at the end of each month)

Funding

The activities of the network are funded by the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, EPSRC (Grant Ref. EP/V521929/1 ), the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Sciences, and the Glasgow Mathematical Journal Learning and Research Support Fund.
