Abstract: Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the nonequilibrium self-organization of motile objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic and bacterial active matter. In this talk, I […]
Title: The Kervaire conjecture and the minimal complexity of surfaces Abstract: We use topological methods to solve special cases of a fundamental problem in group theory, the Kervaire conjecture. The conjecture […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Gabriel Wong Title: Universal relations between entanglement, symmetries, and entropy Abstract: Entanglement is an essential property of quantum systems that distinguishes them from classical ones. It is responsible […]
Speaker: Jeongwan Haah (Microsoft) Title: A degeneracy bound for homogeneous topological order https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjHJa-hy-3o
This week’s seminar will be an open mic discussion which will be led by Nima Arkani-Hamed (IAS), and by Gary Shiu (UW-Madison), and the topic will be “Swampland constraints, Unitarity and Causality”. They will start with […]
Abstract: I will describe an inductive algorithm computing Gromov-Witten invariants in all genera with arbitrary insertions of all smooth complete intersections in projective space. The main idea is to show that […]
Speaker: Jie Wang (Simons Foundation) Title: Quantum Geometric Aspects of Chiral Twisted Graphene Models Abstract: “Moire” materials produced by stacking monolayers with small relative twist angles are of intense current interest for […]
Speaker: Andrea Brini, U Sheffield Title: Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings Abstract: Enumerative geometry is a venerable subfield of Mathematics, with roots dating back to Greek Antiquity and a present […]
Title: Amplituhedra, Scattering Amplitudes and Triangulations Abstract: In this talk I will discuss about Amplituhedra – generalizations of polytopes inside the Grassmannian – recently introduced by physicists as new geometric constructions encoding […]
