During 2025–26, the CMSA will host a seminar on Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics, organized by Robert Moscrop, Ahsan Khan, Chuck Doran, and Keyou Zeng.

This seminar series, a successor to the Quantum Matter Seminar, focuses on all aspects of quantum field theory and its associated mathematics.

The seminar will take place on Mondays from 3:00–4:00 pm.

To receive seminar announcements, please subscribe to the mailing list.

The schedule will be updated as talks are confirmed.

  • Higher current algebras and chiral algebras

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Charles Young (University of Hertfordshire) Title: Higher current algebras and chiral algebras Abstract: Vertex algebras capture physicists' notion of OPEs in chiral CFTs, in complex dimension one. For various motivations, one would like to have analogs of vertex algebras in higher dimensions. Chiral algebras, in the sense of Beilinson-Drinfeld and Francis-Gaitsgory, provide a natural framework here, […]
