Pure Mathematics
Pure Mathematics is a research area within which you can focus your studies as part of our suite of Mathematics research programmes (MPhil, PhD).
The following specialisations are available within this research area:
- Ordinary and partial differential equations
- Functional analysis
- Analytical and computational spectral theory
- Quantum mechanics
- Number theory and its applications
- Mathematical physics
- Operator algebras and Noncommutative Geometry
- Algebraic geometry
- Algebraic topology
- K-theory
- Combinatorics
- Quantum field theory and statistical mechanics
- Conformal field theory and vertex operator algebras
Three research networks have been coordinated from Cardiff:
- the EU-TMR Network on Non-Commutative Geometry
- the EPSRC Network on Algebraic Geometry, Boundary Conformal Field Theory and Non- Commutative Geometry
- the EPSRC Network on Spectral Theory (jointly with a group from the School of Computer Science).
