During 2024–25, the CMSA will host a seminar on Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics, organized by Ahsan Khan, Robert Moscrop, and Sunghyuk Park.

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 Fridays at 9:00–10:30 am (Eastern Time) through October. In November, seminars will be held from 10:00–11:30 am. To learn how to attend this seminar, please fill out this form.

The schedule will be updated as talks are confirmed.

Nonlinear Bosonization of (Non-)Fermi Liquids

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

Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Yi-Hsien Du (MIT) Title: Nonlinear Bosonization of (Non-)Fermi Liquids Abstract: Fermi liquid theory is a cornerstone of condensed matter physics. I will show how to formulate Fermi liquid theory as an effective field theory. In this approach, the space of low-energy states of a Fermi liquid is identified with a […]
