Colloquium Speaker: Mikhail Khovanov, Johns Hopkins University Title: Facets of link homology Abstract: We will review some link homology theories of algebraic origin and their connections to representation theory and geometry.
Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speakers: Max Hübner and Saman Habibi Esfahani
CMSA Q&A Seminar Details TBA
New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Courtney Paquette, McGill University Title: Scaling Stochastic Momentum from Theory to LLMs Abstract: Given the massive scale of modern ML models, we now often get only a single shot to train them effectively. This limits our ability to sweep architectures and hyperparameters, making it essential to understand how learning algorithms scale […]

Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Sanjay Raman, Harvard Title: Solitonic Symmetry: Cohomology with TFT Coefficients Abstract: We review the formalism of https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.00939, which develops the theory of solitonic symmetry in quantum field theory. The algebraic structure of solitonic symmetry is determined by the fusion of topological functionals in a given path-integral formulation of topological field theory, and […]
