My name is Jonny Evans. I'm a lecturer in mathematics at University College London, part of the UCL Geometry and Topology Group.
Research:
- You can read my lectures (one, two, three and accompanying blog-post) on symplectic topology from the UK-Japan Mathematics Forum (January 2013).
- Some of my other talks are available.
- My preprints and papers. Most recently:
- with Georgios Dimitroglou Rizell on Unlinking and unknottedness of monotone Lagrangian submanifolds (Nov 2012).
- and with Jarek Kędra on Pseudoholomorphic tori in the Kodaira-Thurston four manifold (May 2012).
Teaching:
- Next year I will be offering a fourth year project on mapping class groups of surfaces.
- I will also be teaching Lie groups and Lie algebras and Mathematical Methods 3.
- In the past I have taught graduate courses on symplectic topology and Yang-Mills theory for which notes are available.
Elsewhere on the Internet:
- The Cost of Knowledge.
- Michael Nielsen and Tim Gowers both have interesting ideas on the future of academic publishing and practice.
- All my talk notes and teaching materials are available from this site and released under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 Licence. That means you're free to use them as long as you give appropriate attribution and release derivatives under an isomorphic licence. Inform yourself about how your institution deals with intellectual property.
- My wife blogs about libraries.
