BPS Algebras in Landau-Ginzburg Models
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Ahsan Khan (CMSA) Title: BPS Algebras in Landau-Ginzburg Models Abstract: The study of BPS states in supersymmetric quantum field theory has been a fruitful source of both mathematical and physical insights. In particular their study often leads to rich algebraic structures - from the "Algebra of the Infrared" of Gaiotto-Moore-Witten to the "Cohomological Hall […]

Twisted Tools for (Untwisted) Quantum Field Theory
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesMathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Speaker: Justin Kulp (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) Title: Twisted Tools for (Untwisted) Quantum Field Theory Abstract: One of the most important properties of QFTs is that they can be deformed by "turning on interactions." Essentially every observable can be viewed as coupling the theory to some external system. Famously, adding […]

Abundance for mixed characteristic threefolds
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesMember Seminar Speaker: Iacopo Brivio (CMSA) Title: Abundance for mixed characteristic threefolds Abstract: The Minimal Model Program (MMP) predicts that every algebraic variety X is birational to either a fibration in Fano varieties, or it admits a “minimal model” X', that is a birational model with nef canonical bundle K_X'. The Abundance conjecture predicts then […]
Freedman CMSA Seminar
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesFreedman CMSA Seminar 2:00-3:30 pm ET Speaker: Mike Freedman, Harvard CMSA Title: Detecting hidden structures in linear maps Abstract: I'll consider the problem of detecting spectral features and tensor structures within linear maps both in a quantum and classical contexts. In the quantum context there is the question of whether a Hamiltonian is local, […]
Ringdown in the SYK model
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesJoint BHI/CMSA Foundation Seminar Speaker: Matthew Dodelson (Harvard) Title: Ringdown in the SYK model Abstract: Thermal correlators in large N systems equilibrate at late times, but the precise late-time behavior is unknown away from holographic and free field limits. In this talk I will analyze this problem in the case of the SYK model away from […]

Periodic pencils of flat connections and their p-curvature
CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesColloquium Speaker: Pavel Etingof (MIT) Title: Periodic pencils of flat connections and their p-curvature A periodic pencil of flat connections on a smooth algebraic variety is a linear family of flat connections , where are local coordinates on and are matrix-valued regular functions. A pencil is periodic if it is generically invariant under the shifts up to isomorphism. I will […]
