Member Seminar Speaker: Vasily Krylov, CMSA Title: ADHM spaces and their quantizations Abstract: In their paper “Construction of Instantons,” Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin, and Manin introduced an algebraic construction of the moduli space of instantons on R^4, now also known as the "ADHM space." This is a Poisson complex variety; it has been actively studied by both […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Uri Kol Title: Quantum Criticality in Black Hole Scattering Abstract: Perturbation theory around rotating black holes captures a few important effects in the physics of gravitational waves emitted from binary mergers. Despite a long and rich history, developing a qualitative understanding of the system remains a challenging problem. In this talk I […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Alejandro Poveda Title: Identity crises phenomena in the large cardinal hierarchy Abstract: It is well-known that certain mathematical questions cannot be answered on the grounds of the standard foundation of mathematics. Large cardinal axioms constitute a series of postulates about the higher infinite which permit to classify these undecidable problems in a coherent hierarchy way. […]
