Categorification and applications
Speaker: Peng Shan (Tsinghua University) Title: Categorification and applications Abstract: I will give a survey of the program of categorification for quantum groups, some of its recent development and applications to representation theory.
Anisotropy, biased pairing theory and applications
Speaker: Karim Adiprasito, Hebrew University and University of Copenhagen Title: Anisotropy, biased pairing theory and applications Abstract: Not so long ago, the relations between algebraic geometry and combinatorics were strictly governed […]
Hitchin map as spectrum of equivariant cohomology
Speaker: Tamás Hausel (IST Austria) Title: Hitchin map as spectrum of equivariant cohomology Abstract: We will explain how to model the Hitchin integrable system on a certain Lagrangian upward flow as the spectrum of equivariant cohomology of a Grassmannian.
Hypergraph decompositions and their applications
Speaker: Peter Keevash, Oxford Title: Hypergraph decompositions and their applications Abstract: Many combinatorial objects can be thought of as a hypergraph decomposition, i.e. a partition of (the edge set of) one hypergraph […]
Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings
Speaker: Andrea Brini, U Sheffield Title: Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings Abstract: Enumerative geometry is a venerable subfield of Mathematics, with roots dating back to Greek Antiquity and a present […]
The Hitchin connection for parabolic G-bundles
Speaker: Richard Wentworth, University of Maryland Title: The Hitchin connection for parabolic G-bundles Abstract: For a simple and simply connected complex group G, I will discuss some elements of the proof of […]
Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions
Speaker: Maria Chudnovsky, Princeton Title: Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions Abstract: Tree decompositions are a powerful tool in both structural graph theory and graph algorithms. Many hard problems become tractable if the […]
The Kapustin-Rozanski-Saulina “2-category” of a holomorphic integrable system
Speaker: Constantin Teleman (UC Berkeley) Title: The Kapustin-Rozanski-Saulina “2-category” of a holomorphic integrable system Abstract: I will present a construction of the object in the title which, applied to the classical Toda […]

The black hole information paradox
Speaker: Samir Mathur (Ohio State University) Title: The black hole information paradox Abstract: In 1975, Stephen Hawking showed that black holes radiate away in a manner that violates quantum theory. Starting in […]
