In the 2020-2021 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a lecture series on Strongly Correlated Materials and High Tc Superconductor. All talks will take place from 10:30-12:00pm ET virtually on Zoom. […]
During the 2021–2022 academic year, the CMSA will host a program on the so-called “Swampland.” The Swampland program aims to determine which low-energy effective field theories are consistent with nonperturbative quantum gravity considerations. Not […]
During the 2021–22 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a Colloquium, organized by Du Pei, Changji Xu, and Michael Simkin. It will take place on Wednesdays at 9:30am – 10:30am (Boston time). The […]
Abstract: Gopakumar-Vafa invariants are integers n_beta(g) which give a virtual count of genus g curves in the class beta on a Calabi-Yau threefold. In this talk, I will give a general […]
Abstract: We consider the moduli space of abelian varieties with two marked points and a frame of the relative de Rham cohomology with boundary at these points compatible with its […]
Speaker: Tamás Hausel (IST Austria) Title: Hitchin map as spectrum of equivariant cohomology Abstract: We will explain how to model the Hitchin integrable system on a certain Lagrangian upward flow as the spectrum of equivariant cohomology of a Grassmannian.
Speaker: Clay Cordova (U Chicago) Title: Non-Invertible Duality Defects in 3+1 Dimensions Abstract: For any quantum system invariant under gauging a higher-form global symmetry, we construct a non-invertible topological defect by gauging […]

Speaker: Yifan Wang (NYU) Title: Fusion Category Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory Abstract: Topological defects provide a modern perspective on symmetries in quantum field theory. They generalize the familiar inverti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p82wzcicCk8&t=72s ble […]
Abstract: Black holes solutions in General Relativity are parametrized by their mass, spin and charge. In this talk, I will motivate why the charge of black holes adds interesting dynamics to […]
Title: Exploring Invertibility in Image Processing and Restoration Abstract: Today’s smartphones have enabled numerous stunning visual effects from denoising to beautification, and we can share high-quality JPEG images easily on the internet, […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran Title: The Greene-Plesser Construction Revisited Abstract: The first known construction of mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds was the Greene-Plesser “quotient and resolve” procedure which applies to pencils […]
