Biography

Angus is currently in his third year of a double degree studying mathematics and physics. He intends to pursue honours in maths in 2019. His main interests are subjects related to mathematical physics, in particular differential geometry and operator theory.

Dirac operators on manifolds and applications to physics

The project will begin by developing the theory of differentiable operators on manifolds. It will then apply the theory to problems in relativity, especially the index of the relativistic Dirac operators on cylinders.
