The complex Monge-Ampere equation in K\”ahler geometry
Speaker: Freid Tong Title: The complex Monge-Ampere equation in Kahler geometry Abstract: The complex Monge-Ampere equations occupies an central role in K\”ahler geometry, beginning with Yau’s famous solutions of the Calabi […]
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.

The Greene-Plesser Construction Revisited
Member Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran Title: The Greene-Plesser Construction Revisited Abstract: The first known construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds was the Greene-Plesser “quotient and resolve” procedure which applies to pencils […]
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 […]
Universal relations between entanglement, symmetries, and entropy
Member Seminar Speaker: Gabriel Wong Title: Universal relations between entanglement, symmetries, and entropy Abstract: Entanglement is an essential property of quantum systems that distinguishes them from classical ones. It is responsible […]
