Koszul duality & twisted holography for asymptotically flat spacetimes

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

Colloquium Speaker: Natalie Paquette, University of Washington Title: Koszul duality & twisted holography for asymptotically flat spacetimes Abstract: Koszul duality has been understood in recent years to characterize order-type defects in twists of supersymmetric field theories. This notion has been generalized, from a physical point of view, by studying couplings between D-branes and closed string […]

Scattering Rigidity Problem

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

General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Jin Jia, Hunan University Title: Scattering Rigidity Problem Abstract: If the asymptotic behavior of a solution to a nonlinear equation is the same as that of a solution to its linearized equation, it is called a scattering solution. Scattering phenomena are widely observed near steady-state solutions of various mathematical physics equations, […]

AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Stephen D. Miller (Rutgers University) Title: What 4-graviton scattering amplitudes had to say about the unitary dual Abstract: I'll give an update on the problem of describing all unitary representations of a Lie group, including joint work with Michael Green and Pierre Vanhove that used intuition from string theory to show […]

Solving olympiad geometry without human demonstrations

https://youtu.be/eZbYSOpga2U New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Trieu H. Trinh, Google Deepmind and NYU Dept. of Computer Science Title: Solving olympiad geometry without human demonstrations Abstract: Proving mathematical theorems at the olympiad level represents a notable milestone in human-level automated reasoning, owing to their reputed difficulty among the world’s best talents in pre-university mathematics. Current […]

The KSBA moduli space of log Calabi-Yau surfaces

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

Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Pierrick Bousseau, University of Georgia Title: The KSBA moduli space of log Calabi-Yau surfaces Abstract: The KSBA moduli space, introduced by Kollár--Shepherd-Barron, and Alexeev, is a natural generalization of "the moduli space of stable curves" to higher dimensions. It parametrizes stable pairs (X,B), where X is a projective algebraic […]

Decoding The Origins of Fluidity in Multicellular Systems

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

Active Matter Seminar Speaker: Max Bi (Northeastern University) Title: Decoding The Origins of Fluidity in Multicellular Systems Abstract: Organisms continually adapt to mechanical forces at the cellular and tissue levels, a process crucial for sustaining vital life functions. In pivotal physiological processes, such as cancer progression and embryonic development, tissues are often poised near solid-like […]

Non-Invertible Peccei-Quinn Symmetry and the Massless Quark Solution to the Strong CP Problem

Modularity and Fibrations in Mirror Symmetry

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

CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran (Harvard CMSA) Title: Modularity and Fibrations in Mirror Symmetry Abstract: We will introduce appearances of modularity in the study both of families of Calabi-Yau threefolds and of their enumerative invariants.  An important role is played by the structure of fibrations and the DHT fibration-degeneration mirror correspondence, which clarifies how these notions […]

AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Jayce Getz (Duke University) Title: The Poisson summation conjecture and the fiber bundle method Abstract: The Poisson summation conjecture of Braverman-Kazhdan, L. Lafforgue, Ngo, and Sakellaridis predicts that spherical varieties over a global field admit Schwartz spaces, Fourier transforms, and a generalized Poisson summation formula. In this talk I will state a rough form […]
