During the 2024–25 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry  Seminar, organized by Chuck Doran and Keyou Zeng.

This seminar will take place weekly on Thursdays from 10:00–11:00 am Eastern Time.

The schedule will be updated as talks are confirmed.

(Strictly) Non-minimal Elliptic Threefolds and the Distance Conjecture

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

Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Seminar Speaker: Rafael Álvarez García (Harvard University) Title: (Strictly) Non-minimal Elliptic Threefolds and the Distance Conjecture Abstract: We analyze infinite-distance limits in the complex structure moduli space of six-dimensional F-theory, providing an algebro-geometric classification and a physical interpretation. From the point of view of the Swampland Program, the motivation is to understand the […]
