Success for AMRC PhD Student at international conference:
At the recent StatPhys conference (http://www.icmp.lviv.ua/statphys2009/index.htm) on Statistical Physics in Lviv, Ukraine (200 participants), Taras Holovatch, who is a PhD student of Christian von Ferber in the AMRC, was awarded a prize for best poster.

Our esteemed colleague Dr Rob Low, has had a mathematical conjecture named after him. This is a very rare occurrence in either mathematics or mathematical physics and illustrates the very high quality research which is taking place in Coventry University's Applied Mathematics Research Centre. The "Low Conjecture" concerns the causal relationships between events and has profound implications for Einstein's Theory of General Relativity.
