    Integrability and Hidden Symmetries in Black Hole Dynamics

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

    CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Uri Kol (Harvard CMSA) Title: Integrability and Hidden Symmetries in Black Hole Dynamics Abstract: The last decade has produced a number of remarkable discoveries, such as the first direct observation of gravitational waves by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration and the first black hole image taken by the Event Horizon Telescope. These discoveries mark the beginning of a […]

    AQFT Lecture Series

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

    AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Omer Offen (Brandeis) Title: Period integrals of automorphic forms and the residue method Abstract: I will discuss some aspects of period integrals of automorphic forms via examples. In particular, the residue method of Jacquet and Rallis and its recent application, joint with Friedberg and Ginzburg, to study new periods on the […]

    Factorization algebras in quite a lot of generality

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

    Colloquium Speaker: Clark Barwick, University of Edinburgh Title: Factorization algebras in quite a lot of generality Abstract: The objects of arithmetic geometry are not manifolds. Some concepts from differential geometry admit analogues in arithmetic, but they are not straightforward. How then can we hope to make precise sense of quantum field theories on these objects? […]

    On Axially Symmetric Perturbations of Kerr Black Hole Spacetimes

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

    https://youtu.be/G98ywTI82fg General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Nishanth Gudapati, Clark University Title: On Axially Symmetric Perturbations of Kerr Black Hole Spacetimes Abstract: The Kerr black hole stability problem is an important open problem in general relativity. In this talk, I will focus on the role of energy methods in the axisymmetric stability of Kerr black hole spacetimes. […]

  • Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar

    Classifying curves on Fano varieties

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

    Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Brian Lehmann (Boston College) Title: Classifying curves on Fano varieties Abstract: How can we understand the set of curves on a Fano variety? One perspective is provided by Geometric Manin's Conjecture, a collection of conjectures with roots in arithmetic and topology.  While I will mention some recent progress, the main […]

  • Directed motion in active matter: Frictiotaxis and flocking

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

    Active Matter Seminar Speaker: Ricard Alert, Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems Title: Directed motion in active matter: Frictiotaxis and flocking Abstract: A key feature of active matter is its ability to move directionally, both as individual particles and collectively. I will discuss two examples of directed motion: one in cell migration, and one in collections of self-propelled colloids. […]

    AQFT Lecture Series

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

    AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Chen Wan, Rutgers Newark Title: Some examples of the relative Langlands duality Abstract: In this talk I will discuss some examples of the relative Langlands duality (introduced by Ben-Zvi—Sakellaridis—Venkatesh) for strongly tempered spherical varieties. In some cases, I will introduce a relative trace formula comparison for the models and prove the […]

    Contract Design in Combinatorial Settings

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

    CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Tomer Ezra (Harvard CMSA) Title: Contract Design in Combinatorial Settings Abstract: We study two combinatorial settings of the contract design problem, in which a principal wants to delegate the execution of a costly task. In the first setting, the principal delegates the task to an agent that can take any subset of a […]
