Topological Patterns in Magnetic Materials

13 – 14 January 2022

Continuum theories for (anti-)ferromagnetic materials, such as micromagnetics, need to account for a variety of patterns such as domain walls, magnetic bubbles, vortices, Skyrmions, etc. Often these are modelled by PDEs with interesting structures such as singularities. The main focus of this workshop are patterns with nontrivial topology and/or caused by topological effects, where physics, PDE theory, and topology interact with each other.

This is a virtual workshop taking place via Zoom. It is part of the network on Generalised and Low-Regularity Solutions of Nonlinear PDEs and funded by the EPSRC.
