James Montaldi

James Montaldi is a Reader in Applied Mathematics at The University of Manchester, School of Mathematics. His research focuses on Dynamical Systems with symmetry, particularly Hamiltonian systems, momentum maps, and symplectic and Poisson geometry. He has been affiliated with the university since 2001 and previously held a position as a Professor at the University of Nice in France. His work explores the dynamics and bifurcations of symmetric Hamiltonian systems, emphasizing the role of symmetry in understanding geometric structures. Montaldi's research includes topics such as bifurcations at zero momentum and the variation of momentum polytopes under changes in the symplectic form.

James Montaldi is a researcher at the University of Manchester, specializing in Dynamics and Symmetry. His work explores the interplay between dynamical systems and geometric structures, with a focus on Hamiltonian systems, point vortices, and symmetric configurations. Montaldi's research includes the study of periodic solutions, relative equilibria, and bifurcations in symmetric systems. He has contributed to understanding the stability and existence of nonlinear normal modes, as well as the dynamics of vortices on spheres and cylinders. His publications often intersect with singularity theory and geometric analysis, reflecting a deep engagement with both theoretical and applied aspects of dynamical systems.
