Geometry and Mathematical Physics Seminar Speaker: Ron Donagi, University of Pennsylvania Title: Recent developments in super geometry Abstract: String theory leads naturally to consideration of Super Riemann surfaces and their super moduli spaces. Much of the classical theory of curves and their moduli, e.g. existence of a Deligne-Mumford compactification, has natural super-analogues. But a number […]
Colloquium Speaker: Lukas Müller (LMU Munich) Title: Unitary extended topological field theories and higher Hermitian objects Abstract: Mathematically, topological field theories study the representation theory of manifolds undercutting and gluing. Extended topological field theories take this idea a step further by allowing one to cut manifolds in multiple directions, leading to a formulation in terms […]

Speaker: Christopher Harshaw (c.harshaw@columbia.edu), Columbia University Title: Design-Based Minimax Theory for Network Experiments Abstract: Network experiments are used throughout the social and medical sciences to investigate causal effects under the presence of interference. While a large body of work has developed improved statistical procedures, the fundamental limits of statistical estimation in these settings is less well understood. […]
CMSA Q&A Seminar Speaker: Aaron Landesman (Harvard CMSA) Title: The work of Jacob Tsimerman (ICM series) Abstract: I will discuss some basics of the Fields Medal work of Jacob Tsimerman. Some of his key contributions come toward the André-Oort conjecture, algebraicity of period maps, and arithmetic statistics.
