Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Sanjay Raman, Harvard Title: Solitonic Symmetry: Cohomology with TFT Coefficients Abstract: We review the formalism of https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.00939, which develops the theory of solitonic symmetry in quantum field theory. The algebraic structure of solitonic symmetry is determined by the fusion of topological functionals in a given path-integral formulation of topological field theory, and […]
Differential Geometry and Physics Seminar Speaker: Vivek Shende (Syddansk Universitet & UC Berkeley) Title: Fukaya categories and higher representation theory Abstract: I will explain how Lagrangian Floer homology in certain monopole moduli spaces recovers the Khovanov homology and its relatives, by a description strikingly similar to the Oszvath-Szabo Heegard-Floer theory. I will also explain how the […]

Freedman Seminar Speakers: Mattie Ji (Penn) and Jeongwan Haah (Stanford) Mattie Ji Title: Quantum Cellular Automata via Algebraic K-Theory Abstract: Algebraic K-theory, on a very high level, is the study of how to break apart and assemble objects linearly, which makes the field amenable to classification questions. In this work, we apply this methodology to study […]
