PhD Mathematics - Pure Mathematics

University of Hull

Choose to study for an MSc by Thesis or PhD degree in Mathematics at Hull. Themes include pure and applied maths, probability and statistics. Join a close-knit department and be supported by renowned academics working at the forefront of mathematical research with a PhD or Masters by Research at the University of Hull. Our staff have a wide range of expertise in many different areas, from pure maths theories around low-dimensional topology and asymptotic geometric analysis, to fluid dynamics, superstring theory and astrophysics across other disciplines. We welcome research proposals in any of our specialisms and while studying towards a PhD at Hull, you’ll be fully supported by two supervisors who are able to offer expert supervision in your area. Pure Mathematics Asymptotic geometric analysis Asymptotic Geometric Analysis studies the geometric and linear properties of finite dimensional objects, normed spaces, and convex bodies and the asymptotics of their various quantitative parameters as the dimension tends to infinity. At Hull, our main interests are the local structure of the classical Lp spaces, in particular the finite-dimensional normed subspaces with a symmetric basis, the geometry of random polytopes in isotropic convex bodies, and the singular values of random matrices, especially when the random entries are not identically distributed.
