Colloquium Speaker: Pavel Etingof (MIT) Title: Periodic pencils of flat connections and their p-curvature  A periodic pencil of flat connections on a smooth algebraic variety  is a linear family of flat connections  , where  are local coordinates on  and  are matrix-valued regular functions. A pencil is periodic if it is generically invariant under the shifts  up to isomorphism. I will […]

Colloquium Speaker: Lisa Carbone, Rutgers University Title: Symmetry groups in infinite dimensions Abstract: The study of many physical theories requires an understanding of symmetries of infinite dimensional Lie algebras. The construction of groups of automorphisms for infinite dimensional Lie algebras is challenging, but there is well established theory for the class of Kac-Moody algebras. A […]
