Discovery of unstable singularity with machine precision
CMSA 20 Garden Street Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 United StatesNew Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Yongji Wang, NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Title: Discovery of unstable singularity with machine precision Abstract: Whether singularities can form in fluids remains a foundational unanswered question in mathematics. This phenomenon occurs when solutions to governing equations, such as the 3D Euler equations, develop infinite gradients from smooth initial […]
Dimension Reduction and Adiabatic Limits of Generalized ASD Instantons
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesDifferential Geometry and Physics Seminar Speaker: Dylan Galt, Harvard Title: Dimension Reduction and Adiabatic Limits of Generalized ASD Instantons Abstract: I will begin by explaining a dimension reduction result for Tian's generalized ASD instantons over product manifolds, which generalizes work of Yuanqi Wang on codimension-one reduction and includes the cases of G2 and Spin(7) instantons as well […]
Classification of 2D Stabilizer States
Common Room, CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesMember Seminar Speaker: Bowen Yang Title: Classification of 2D Stabilizer States Abstract: I will explain how translation-invariant two-dimensional stabilizer states are completely classified by finite abelian groups with nondegenerate quadratic forms—that is, by abelian anyon theories. The proof uses the algebraic structure of stabilizer codes as modules over Laurent polynomial rings, revealing how their physical […]
The Moyal bracket and the BV cohomology of the spinning particle
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesQuantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Ezra Getzler, Northwestern Title: The Moyal bracket and the BV cohomology of the spinning particle Abstract: The spinning particle is the one-dimensional reduction of the Neveu-Schwartz-Ramond superstring. It consists of a supersymmetric particle moving in a one-dimensional supergravity background, and its quantization is the Hilbert superspace of […]
Khovanov homology from KLRW algebras
Science Center 507 1 Oxford Street, CambridgeGeometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Sunghyuk Park, CMSA Title: Khovanov homology from KLRW algebras Abstract: This is the first in a four-part series, organized together with Vasily Krylov, Sebastian Haney, and Lorenzo Riva, aimed at understanding Aganagic's categorification of quantum link invariants through Coulomb branches and homological mirror symmetry. In this first talk, I will lay […]

Geometry Meets Physics: Finiteness, Tameness, and Complexity
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesGeometry Meets Physics: Finiteness, Tameness, and Complexity Dates: November 12–14, 2025 Location: CMSA G10, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138 (note: this event is in-person only) Finiteness is a fundamental property in consistent physical theories. From the earliest days of quantum field theory and string theory, the drive to eliminate unphysical infinities has been a […]

Millennium Prize Problems Lecture – Pierre Deligne: What is the Hodge conjecture?
Harvard Science Center Hall D 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United Stateshttps://youtu.be/d23FICTAC1Y Date: November 12, 2025 Time: 5:00–6:00 pm Location: Harvard Science Center Hall D, 1 Oxford St., Cambridge MA Speaker: Pierre Deligne, Institute for Advanced Study Title: What is the Hodge conjecture? Abstract: The Hodge conjecture is about projective non-singular complex algebraic varieties. It characterizes the cohomology classes coming from algebraic cycles. I will […]

BV and the ThimTFT
CMSA Room G02 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MAQuantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Justin Kulp, Stony Brook Title: BV and the ThimTFT Abstract: The SymTFT (or “quiche”) construction relates different global forms of d-dimensional QFTs with discrete symmetry: realizing different global forms as a (d+1)-dimensional TFT on an interval, with a common "physical" boundary condition on one side, and different […]

Interaction of Statistics and Geometry: A New Landscape for Data Science
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesColloquium Speaker: Zhigang Yao (National University of Singapore) Title: Interaction of Statistics and Geometry: A New Landscape for Data Science Abstract: Classical statistics views data as real numbers or vectors in Euclidean space, but modern challenges increasingly involve data with intrinsic geometric structures. A central problem in this direction is manifold fitting, with origins in H. Whitney’s […]
