Abstract: To characterise scalar curvature, Gromov proposed the dihedral rigidity conjecture which states that a positively curved polyhedron having dihedral angles less than those of a corresponding flat polyhedron should be […]
Speaker: Mohamed Anber (Durham University) Title: The global structure of the Standard Model and new nonperturbative processes Abstract: It is well-established that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is based on […]
Abstract: My lab is interested in the active and adaptive materials that underlie control of cell shape. This has centered around understanding force transmission and sensing within the actin cytoskeleton. I […]
Title: Metric Algebraic Geometry Abstract: A real algebraic variety is the set of points in real Euclidean space that satisfy a system of polynomial equations. Metric algebraic geometry is the study […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Matteo Parisi Title: Amplituhedra, Scattering Amplitudes and Triangulations Abstract: In this talk I will discuss about Amplituhedra – generalizations of polytopes inside the Grassmannian – recently introduced by […]
Abstract: In 1973, Lemmens and Seidel asked to determine N_alpha(r), the maximum number of equiangular lines in R^r with common angle arccos(alpha). Recently, this problem has been almost completely settled when […]
Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a virtual variant of the quantized Coulomb branch constructed by Braverman-Finkelberg-Nakajima, where the convolution product is modified by a virtual intersection. The resulting virtual […]
Speaker: Takuro Mochizuki (Kyoto University) Title: Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondences for harmonic bundles and monopoles Abstract: In 1960's, Narasimhan and Seshadri discovered the equivalence between irreducible unitary flat bundles and stable bundles of degree […]
Speaker: Petr Hořava (UC Berkeley) Title: Topological Quantum Gravity and the Ricci Flow – Part I Abstract: In this sequence of talks, I will describe our work with Alexander Frenkel and […]
https://youtu.be/updzX0XPYU4 Speaker: James Bonifacio, Cambridge DAMTP Title: Bootstrapping hyperbolic manifolds Abstract: Hyperbolic manifolds are a class of Riemannian manifolds that are important in mathematics and physics, playing a prominent role […]
