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 […]
During the Spring 2022 semester, the CMSA hosted a program on General Relativity. This semester-long program included four minicourses, a conference, and a workshop. General Relativity Mincourses: March–May, 2022 General […]
Minicourses General Relativity Program Minicourses During the Spring 2022 semester, the CMSA hosted a program on General Relativity. This semester-long program included four minicourses running in March, April, and May; […]

Youtube Video Abstract: Exactly solvable spin models such as toric codes and X-cube model have heightened our understanding of spin liquids and topological matter in two and three dimensions. Their […]
Abstract: The morphogenesis of branched tissues has been a subject of long-standing debate. Although much is known about the molecular pathways that control cell fate decisions, it remains unclear how […]
Abstract: Bott periodicity relates vector bundles on a topological space X to vector bundles on X “times a sphere”. I’m not a topologist, so I will try to explain an algebraic […]
Speaker: Jörn Boehnke Title: Synthetic Regression Discontinuity: Estimating Treatment Effects using Machine Learning Abstract: In the standard regression discontinuity setting, treatment assignment is based on whether a unit’s observable score (running […]
Abstract: We revisit type IIB flux compactification that are mirror dual to type IIA on rigid Calabi-Yau manifolds. We find a variety of interesting new solutions, like fully stabilized Minkowski vacua […]
Abstract: There is a close connection between the scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 SYM theory and the cells in the positive Grassmannian. In the context of BCFW recursion relations the tree-level […]
Abstract: In this talk I will explain the construction of a determinant map for Tate objects and two applications: (i) to construct central extensions of iterated loop groups and (ii) to […]
