  • CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: Is relativity compatible with quantum theory?

    Virtual

    Arthur Jaffe (Harvard University) Title: Is relativity compatible with quantum theory? Abstract: We review the background, mathematical progress, and open questions in the effort to determine whether one can combine quantum mechanics, special relativity, and interaction together into one mathematical theory. This field of mathematics is known as “constructive quantum field theory.”  Physicists believe that such […]

  • CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: Michael Atiyah: Geometry and Physics

    Virtual

    Nigel Hitchin (University of Oxford) Title: Michael Atiyah: Geometry and Physics Abstract: In mid-career, as an internationally renowned mathematician, Michael Atiyah discovered that some problems in physics responded to current work in algebraic geometry and this set him on a path to develop an active interface between mathematics and physics which was formative in the links […]

    Machine learning and su(3) structures on six manifolds

    Virtual

    Speaker: James Gray - Virginia Tech Title: Machine learning and su(3) structures on six manifolds Abstract: In this talk we will discuss the application of Machine Learning techniques to obtain numerical approximations to various metrics of SU(3) structure on six manifolds. More precisely, we will be interested in SU(3) structures whose torsion classes make them suitable […]

    The Inside View: Raymarching and the Thurston Geometries

    On Wednesday, December 16 at 12:00 p.m. EST, WAM and CMSA will host a holiday seminar featuring Sabetta Matsumoto, Georgia Institute of Technology who will present The Inside View: Raymarching and the Thurston Geometries. The properties of euclidean space seem natural and obvious to us, to the point that it took mathematicians over two thousand years to […]
