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.

  • When do anomalous finite symmetries in (3+1)d enforce gaplessness?

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

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Matthew Yu (University of Oxford) Title: When do anomalous finite symmetries in (3+1)d enforce gaplessness? Abstract: I will explain a comprehensive framework for characterizing the infrared (IR) phases of a fermionic QFTs in (3+1)d, based on their quantum anomalies associated with a finite symmetry. We uncover a […]
