  • Witten deformation for non-Morse functions and gluing formulas 

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Mathematical Physics and Algebraic Geometry Speaker: Junrong Yan (Northeastern University) Title: Witten deformation for non-Morse functions and gluing formulas Abstract: Witten deformation is a versatile tool with numerous applications in mathematical physics and geometry. In this talk, we will focus on the analysis of Witten deformation for a family of non-Morse functions, which leads to […]

  • Going to the other side …. in algebra, topology, and maybe physics

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Speaker: Sergei Gukov (Caltech) Title: Going to the other side .... in algebra, topology, and maybe physics Abstract: Inspired by Eugene Wigner's reflections on the 'unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences,' this talk is about the surprising and pervasive role of a peculiar phenomenon that, a priori, […]

  • Quasinormal Corrections to Near-Extremal Black Hole Thermodynamics

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Daniel Kapec, Harvard Title: Quasinormal Corrections to Near-Extremal Black Hole Thermodynamics Abstract: Recent work on the quantum mechanics of near-extremal non-supersymmetric black holes has identified a characteristic  scaling of the low temperature black hole partition function. This result has only been derived using the path integral in the near-horizon region and relies […]

  • Topological Invariants of gapped states through cosheaves

    Science Center Hall E 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Bowen Yang, Harvard CMSA Title: Topological Invariants of gapped states through cosheaves Abstract: We provide a proper mathematical framework for the constructions of topological invariants of gapped quantum states and interpret topological invariants of gapped states as lattice analogs of ’t Hooft anomalies in Quantum Field Theory. Our secondary […]
