Event Series Member Seminar

Member Seminar

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

CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Sunghyuk Park, Harvard CMSA Title: 3D quantum trace map Abstract: I will speak about my recent work (joint with Sam Panitch) constructing the 3d quantum trace map, a homomorphism from the Kauffman bracket skein module of an ideally triangulated 3-manifold to its (square root) quantum gluing module, thereby giving a precise relationship […]

Event Series General Relativity Seminar

Quantum Energy Inequalities

Virtual

General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Chris Fewster, York University Title: Quantum Energy Inequalities Abstract: Many theorems of mathematical relativity, including singularity and positive mass theorems, include the classical energy conditions among their hypotheses. However, matter described by quantum field theory can violate the classical energy conditions and indeed there is no lower bound to the energy […]

What Observables are Safe to Calculate?

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

Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Jesse Thaler, MIT Title: What Observables are Safe to Calculate? Abstract: In collider physics, perturbative quantum field theory is the workhorse framework for computing theoretical predictions to compare to experimental measurements. An observable is called "safe" if its cross section can be predicted order-by-order in perturbation theory […]

Event Series Colloquium

The DNA of Particle Scattering

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

Colloquium Speaker: Lance Dixon (SLAC, Stanford University) Title: The DNA of Particle Scattering Abstract: At the Large Hadron Collider, the copious scattering of quarks and gluons in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) produces Higgs bosons and many backgrounds to searches for new physics.  At short distances, scattering in QCD can be evaluated in perturbation theory and leads to highly […]
