Strings, knots and quivers
Speaker: Piotr Sułkowski (University of Warsaw) Title: Strings, knots and quivers Abstract: I will discuss a recently discovered relation between quivers and knots, as well as – more generally – toric Calabi-Yau […]
Line defects in CFTs: Renormalization group flows and semiclassical limits
Title: Line defects in CFTs: Renormalization group flows and semiclassical limits Abstract: I will discuss line defects in d-dimensional Conformal Field Theories (CFTs). In the first part of the talk, […]
New results in Supergravity via ML Technology
https://youtu.be/zJOWdZZcitk Speaker: Thomas Fischbacher, Google Title: New results in Supergravity via ML Technology Abstract: The infrastructure built to power the Machine Learning revolution has many other uses beyond Deep Learning. […]
A tour of categorical symmetry
Title: A tour of categorical symmetry Abstract: I will discuss some perspectives on symmetry coming from the study of topological defects in quantum field theory. I will argue that we […]
A mirror theorem for GLSMs
Abstract: A gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) consists roughly of a complex vector space V, a group G acting on V, a character \theta of G, and a G-invariant function w […]

Causality Comparison and Postive Mass
Speaker: Xiaoning Wu, Chinese Academy of Sciences Title: Causality Comparison and Postive Mass Abstract: Penrose et al. investigated the physical incoherence of the space-time with negative mass via the bending […]
Knowledge Graph Embeddings and Inference
Member Seminar Speaker: Michael Douglas Title: Knowledge Graph Embeddings and Inference Abstract: A knowledge graph (KG) is a data structure which represents entities and relations as the vertices and edges of […]

Title: On counting algebraically defined graphs Abstract: For many classes of graphs that arise naturally in discrete geometry (for example intersection graphs of segments or disks in the plane), the edges of […]
Derived projectivizations of two-term complexes
Abstract: For a given two-term complex of vector bundles on a derived scheme (or stack), there are three natural ways to define its “derived projectivizations”: (i) as the derived base-change of […]
