Title: Electric-magnetic duality and the Geometric Langlands duality Abstract: I will give a pedagogical review of the connection between electric-magnetic duality and the Geometric Langlands duality.
Title: Mathematical resolution of the Liouville conformal field theory. Abstract: The Liouville conformal field theory is a well-known beautiful quantum field theory in physics describing random surfaces. Only recently a […]
Abstract: Taking the large dimension limit of Einstein’s equations is a useful strategy for solving and understanding the dynamics that these equations encode. I will introduce the underlying ideas and the […]
Speaker: Du Pei Title: Wall-crossing from Higgs bundles to vortices Abstract: Quantum field theories can often be used to uncover hidden algebraic structures in geometry and hidden geometric structures in […]
Abstract: I describe our work looking at `traditional’ scenarios of moduli stabilisation from a holographic perspective. This reveals some interesting structure that is not apparent from the top-down perspective. For […]
Abstract: The n-queens problem asks how many ways there are to place n queens on an n x n chessboard so that no two queens can attack one another, and the […]
Abstract: It is well known that the Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces are smooth. In higher dimensions the Hilbert schemes of points are in general singular. In this talk […]
Speaker: Karim Adiprasito, Hebrew University and University of Copenhagen Title: Anisotropy, biased pairing theory and applications Abstract: Not so long ago, the relations between algebraic geometry and combinatorics were strictly governed […]
https://youtu.be/rRGh97sOtKE Speaker: Patrick Massot, Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Orsay and CNRS Title: Why explain mathematics to computers? Abstract: A growing number of mathematicians are having fun explaining mathematics to computers using […]
Abstract: The gravitational dual to the grand canonical ensemble of a large N holographic theory is a charged black hole. These spacetimes can have Cauchy horizons that render the classical gravitational […]
Abstract: During development, organisms interact with their natural habitats while undergoing morphological changes, yet we know little about how the interplay between developing systems and their environments impacts animal morphogenesis. Cnidaria, […]
Speaker: Jie Yang, Delft University of Technology Title: ARCH: Know What Your Machine Doesn’t Know Abstract: Despite their impressive performance, machine learning systems remain prohibitively unreliable in safety-, trust-, and ethically sensitive […]
