PhD Opportunities

There is: information about MPhil and PhD study in the School of Mathematics; it is important to obtain funding, and deadlines for various scholarships can be rather early.

The following members of staff are willing to supervise PhD students; these are all merely suggestions for projects. If you are interested, but not directly in a stated project, then just contact the relevant member of staff.

Dr Daws offers the following topics:

• Preduals of Fourier-Stieltjes algebras
• Exotic preduals of (semi)group algebras
• Non-commutative L^p spaces for the Fourier algebra
• Properties of groups and group algebras

Dr Kisil offers the following topics (click link for further details):

• Spectral Analysis of Operators from Wavelet Transform
• Symmetries of Spaces of Analytic Function
• Quantum-Classic Interaction and Coherent States
• Enumeration on Semigroups and Hypergroups with Tokens

Prof Partington offers the following topics (click link for further details):

• Banach spaces of analytic functions, including the classical Hardy spaces.
• Special classes of linear operators, particularly Hankel, Toeplitz and composition operators.
• Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces.
• Invariant subspaces. Hypercyclicity.
• Semigroups of operators. Closed operators and the gap topology.
• A variety of problems of a more applied nature.

Prof Read works in Banach algebras and operator theory, and could supervise students in these areas.
