  • Higher current algebras and chiral algebras

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Charles Young (University of Hertfordshire) Title: Higher current algebras and chiral algebras Abstract: Vertex algebras capture physicists' notion of OPEs in chiral CFTs, in complex dimension one. For various motivations, one would like to have analogs of vertex algebras in higher dimensions. Chiral algebras, in the sense of Beilinson-Drinfeld and Francis-Gaitsgory, provide a natural framework here, […]

  • Introduction to A-infty categories

    Joint Math/CMSA Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Ahsan Khan, Harvard CMSA Title: Introduction to A-infty categories Abstract: I will give a pedagogical account of A-infty categories and the various places they show up in mathematical physics.  

  • CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture: Nicolai Reshetikhin (Tsinghua): Asymptotic representation theory

    Featured
    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture Date: April 22, 2026 Time: 9:00 - 10:30 am ET Location: via Zoom Webinar Speaker: Nicolai Reshetikhin, Yau Mathematical Sciences Center, Tsinghua University Title: Asymptotic representation theory Abstract: Loosely speaking asymptotic representation theory studies representations of “large” groups or algebras. One of the first results in this direction is the study of […]

  • Compression Is All You Need: Modeling Mathematics

    Virtual

    Freedman Seminar Speaker: Mike Freedman, Harvard CMSA Title: Compression Is All You Need: Modeling Mathematics Abstract: The talk will exposit a recent eponymous arXiv posting with coauthors Vitaly Aksenov, Eve Bodnia, and Mike Mulligan. The approach is to think like a physicist and model a seemingly complex bit of reality: mathematics, by a simple toy […]

  • Mathematics and Biology II: Mathematics and Science of Behavior

    CMSA 20 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 United States

    Mathematics and Biology II: Mathematics and Science of Behavior Dates: April 27 – May 1, 2026 Location: Harvard CMSA, Room G10, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA This meeting will explore the emerging mathematics and science of embodied cognition—the idea that behavior arises not solely from the brain but through the dynamic interaction of brain, body, and […]

  • Transcendental Epsilon Multiplicity via Divisor Volumes

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Algebra Seminar Speaker: Sudipta Das, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Title: Transcendental Epsilon Multiplicity via Divisor Volumes Abstract:  In this talk, our goal is to establish a structural bridge between asymptotic commutative algebra and transcendence theory to show that there exists an ideal in a Noetherian local ring whose epsilon multiplicity is transcendental. By equating the […]
