University of Oxford – Magdalen College, Oxford
The College proposes to elect up to three Fellows by Examination (elsewhere known as Junior Research Fellow). Candidates should have an Honours degree or an equivalent qualification and have completed, or be near to completing a doctorate or other post-graduate research. They will already have demonstrated outstanding promise in [...]

Let M be a small Seifert fiber space which has also a structure of surface bundle F x [0, 1]/{(x, 0) = (f(x), 1)} over the circle, where f: F -> F is a monodromy map with non-empty fixed point set. A typical example of such a manifold appears as the result of 0-surgery on a torus knot. For each section in M, we have a ‘projection’ in F in a natural way. We give a condition assuring that the given section in M is hyperbolic in terms of the ‘projection’ in the fiber surface. By translating the result, we give a condition to obtain pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of once punctured surfaces from a periodic automorphism.

This is a foundational paper on flows of G2-structures. We use local coordinates to describe the four torsion forms of a G2-structure and derive the evolution equations for a general flow of a G2-structure on a 7-manifold M. Specifically, we compute the evolution of the metric g, the dual 4-form and the four independent torsion forms. In the process we obtain a simple new proof of a theorem of Fernández–Gray.
As an application of our evolution equations, we derive an analogue of the second Bianchi identity in G2-geometry which appears to be new, at least in this form. We use this result to derive explicit formulas for the Ricci tensor and part of the Riemann curvature tensor in terms of the torsion. These in turn lead to new proofs of several known results in G2-geometry.

For a nontrivial multiplicative character modulo p, we bound character sums
taken on the integer parts of a real-valued, twice-differentiable function f whose second derivative decays at an appropriate rate. For the special case that f(x) = x with some positive real number , our bounds extend recent results of several authors.
