peaker: Ady Stern & David Mross (Weizmann) Speaker: Ady Stern & David Mross (Weizmann Title: The nu=5/2 enigma: Recent insights from theory and experiment Abstract: Non-Abelian phases of matter have […]
https://youtu.be/_ciQkuGYD-I On August 24, 2021, the CMSA hosted our seventh annual Conference on Big Data. The Conference features many speakers from the Harvard community as well as scholars from across the globe, […]
Title: Naturalness and muon anomalous magnetic moment Abstract: We study a model for explaining the apparent deviation of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, (g-2), from the Standard Model expectation. There […]
Abstract: Living matter relies on the self organization of its components into higher order structures, on the molecular as well as on the cellular, organ or even organism scale. Collective […]
Title: Exotic quantum matter: From lattice gauge theory to hyperbolic lattices Abstract: This talk, in two parts, will discuss two (unrelated) instances of exotic quantum matter. In the first part, […]
During the 2021-22 academic year, the CMSA will be co-hosting a seminar on Swampland, with the Harvard Physics Department, organized by Miguel Montero, Cumrun Vafa, Irene Valenzuela. This seminar is […]
Abstract: Conifold transitions are important algebraic geometric constructions that have been of special interests in mirror symmetry, transforming Calabi-Yau 3-folds between A- and B-models. In this talk, I will discuss […]
Title: Cornering the universal shape of fluctuations and entanglement Abstract: Understanding the fluctuations of observables is one of the main goals in physics. We investigate such fluctuations when a subregion […]
https://youtu.be/leONsS4LiV4 Speaker: JM Landsberg, Texas A&M Title: The complexity of matrix multiplication approached via algebraic geometry and representation theory Abstract: In 1968 V. Strassen discovered the way we usually multiply […]
Title: Quantum gravity from quantum matter Abstract: We present a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are collective dynamical variables that describe the pattern […]
Title: Asymptotic localization, massive fields, and gravitational singularities Abstract: I will review three recent developments on Einstein’s field equations under low decay or low regularity conditions. First, the Seed-to-Solution Method […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Michael Simkin Title: Threshold phenomena in random graphs and hypergraphs Abstract: In 1959 Paul Erdos and Alfred Renyi introduced a model of random graphs that is the cornerstone […]
