Abstract: The definition of angular momentum in general relativity has been a subtle issue since the 1960′, due to the discovery of “supertranslation ambiguity”: the angular momentums recorded by two distant observers of the same system may not be the same. In this talk, I shall show how the mathematical theory of optimal isometric embedding and […]

Abstract: In geometry and physics it has proved useful to relate G2 and Calabi-Yau geometry via circle bundles. Contact Calabi-Yau 7-manifolds are, in the simplest cases, such circle bundles over Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds. These 7-manifolds provide testing grounds for the study of geometric flows which seek to find torsion-free G2-structures (and thus Ricci flat metrics with exceptional holonomy). They […] |

Abstract: (joint with S. Venugopalan) I will describe version of the Fukaya algebra that appears in a tropical degeneration with the Lagrangian being one of the “tropical fibers”. An example is the count of “twenty-one disks in the cubic surface” (suggested by Sheridan) which is an open analog of the twenty-seven lines. As an application, I will explain why the Floer […] |
