During the 2021–2022 academic year, the CMSA will host a program on the so-called “Swampland.” The Swampland program aims to determine which low-energy effective field theories are consistent with nonperturbative quantum gravity considerations. Not […]
During the 2021–22 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a Colloquium, organized by Du Pei, Changji Xu, and Michael Simkin. It will take place on Wednesdays at 9:30am – 10:30am (Boston time). The […]
During the Spring 2022 semester, the CMSA hosted a program on General Relativity. This semester-long program included four minicourses, a conference, and a workshop. General Relativity Mincourses: March–May, 2022 General […]
Abstract: The (tree) amplituhedron was introduced in 2013 by Arkani-Hamed and Trnka in their study of N=4 SYM scattering amplitudes. A central conjecture in the field was to prove that the […]
Abstract: In metals, orbital motions of conduction electrons are quantized in magnetic fields, which is manifested by quantum oscillations in electrical resistivity. This Landau quantization is generally absent in insulators, in […]
Speaker: Lu Li (U Michigan) Title: Quantum Oscillations of Electrical Resistivity in an Insulator Abstract: In metals, orbital motions of conduction electrons are quantized in magnetic fields, which is manifested by quantum […]
Title:Quasiperiodic prints from triply periodic blocks Abstract: Slice a triply periodic wooden sculpture along an irrational plane. If you ink the cut surface and press it against a page, the pattern […]
