Amplituhedra, Scattering Amplitudes and Triangulations
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 […]
Equiangular lines and regular graphs
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 […]
Virtual Coulomb branch and quantum K-theory
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 […]
Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondences for harmonic bundles and monopoles
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 […]
Topological Quantum Gravity and the Ricci Flow – Part I
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 […]

Spin-cobordisms, surgeries and fermionic modular bootstrap
Speaker: Andrea Grigoletto (SISSA & INFN) Title: Spin-cobordisms, surgeries and fermionic modular bootstrap Abstract: ‘tHooft anomalies of anomalous systems can be described via anomaly inflow by invertible theories living in one dimension […]
Black Hole dynamics at Large D
Abstract: I demonstrate that black hole dynamics simplifies – without trivializing – in the limit in which the number of spacetime dimensions D in which the black holes live is taken to infinity. In the strict large D limit and under certain conditions I […]
Sparse Markov Models for High-dimensional Inference
Abstract: Finite order Markov models are theoretically well-studied models for dependent data. Despite their generality, application in empirical work when the order is larger than one is quite rare. Practitioners avoid […]
Quadratic reciprocity from a family of adelic conformal field theories
Member Seminar Speaker:An Huang Title: Quadratic reciprocity from a family of adelic conformal field theories Abstract: This talk aims to provide a physics framework to understand quadratic reciprocity. Specifically, we consider […]
