SUMMARY:CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: Isadore Singer’s Work on Analytic Torsion
DESCRIPTION:Edward Witten (IAS) \nTitle: Isadore Singer’s Work on Analytic Torsion \nAbstract:  I will review two famous papers of Ray and Singer on analytic torsion written approximately half a century ago. Then I will sketch the influence of analytic torsion in a variety of areas of physics including anomalies\, topological field theory\, and string theory. \nThis talk is part of a subprogram of the Mathematical Science Literature Lecture series\, a Memorial Conference for the founders of index theory: Atiyah\, Bott\, Hirzebruch\, and Singer. \nTalk chair: Cumrun Vafa \nSlides | Video
