    Math Science Lectures in Honor of Raoul Bott: Andrew Neitzke

    Harvard Science Center 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA

    Speaker: Andrew Neitzke, Yale University Location: Harvard University Science Center Hall D & via Zoom webinar Dates: October 16 & 17, 2024 Time: 4:00 pm   https://youtu.be/1SyGyeMmWoM Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024 Title: Abelianization in analysis of ODEs Abstract: I will describe the exact WKB method for asymptotic analysis of families of ODEs in one variable, […]

  • Bosonic and fermionic 1-form symmetries and anomaly matching

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

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar *via Zoom only* Speaker: Rajath Radhakrishnan (ICTP, Trieste) Title: Bosonic and fermionic 1-form symmetries and anomaly matching Abstract: In this talk, I will consider bosonic and fermionic (non-invertible) 1-form symmetries in 2+1d QFTs. These are 1-form symmetries implemented by topological line operators with real spins. I will present a classification […]

  • Positive mass and rigidity theorems in Riemannian geometry  

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

    Member Seminar Speaker: Puskar Mondal Title: Positive mass and rigidity theorems in Riemannian geometry Abstract: Positive mass theorem proved by Schoen-Yau, Witten, Taubes-Parker is one of the most important results in scalar curvature geometry in asymptotically flat settings. Since then several versions have been proven and generalized to other geometries such as asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. The analogous […]

  • Higher Vapnik–Chervonenkis theory

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

    Colloquium Speaker: Artem Chernikov, University of Maryland Title: Higher Vapnik–Chervonenkis theory Abstract: Finite VC-dimension, a combinatorial property of families of sets, was discovered simultaneously by Vapnik and Chervonenkis in probabilistic learning theory, and by Shelah in model theory (where it is called NIP). It plays an important role in several areas including machine learning, combinatorics, mathematical […]

  • Fusion 2-Categories and their Classification

    Science Center Hall E 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Thibault Décoppet, Harvard University Title: Fusion 2-Categories and their Classification Abstract: Categorifying the classical notion of fusion (1-)category, fusion 2-categories were recently introduced. These objects have found many applications in Physics, most notably to the classification of topological orders, but also to the description of non-invertible symmetries in 2+1 dimensions. […]
