A conference has been organized in celebration of Professor Sir John Ball’s 70th birthday and in honour of his impressive mathematical contributions. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for researchers and current PhD students to learn about recent exciting developments in some of the areas most associated with John Ball’s name and most influenced by his work, both in the UK and internationally.

The Conference will focus on three aspects of John Ball’s research interests:

  • Analysis of Nonlinear PDEs – speakers include Constantine M Dafermos, Pierre-Louis Lions, Laure Saint-Raymond, Vladimir Sverak, and Neil Trudinger. In addition there will be a public lecture by Sir Michael Atiyah.
  • General Aspects of Mathematical Research – speakers include Ingrid Daubechies, Maria Esteban, Martin Grötschel, Tadeusz Iwaniec, and Peter Sarnak with a joint colloquium lecture by Shigefumi Mori.
  • Calculus of Variations, Liquid Crystals and Materials Science – speakers include Duvan A. Henao Manrique, Tomonari Inamura, Barbara Niethammer, and Arghir Zarnescu with a Distinguished ARMA Lecture by Fanghua Lin.
