Topological Modular Forms, its equivariant refinements and relation with supersymmetric quantum field theories

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

Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Mayuko Yamashita, Kyoto University Title: Topological Modular Forms, its equivariant refinements and relation with supersymmetric quantum field theories Abstract: This talk is about the Segal-Stolz-Teichner program, which is one of the most deep and interesting topics relating homotopy theory and physics. Mathematically, they propose a geometric model of TMF, […]

From Word Prediction to Complex Skills: Data Flywheels for Mathematical Reasoning

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

New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Anirudh Goyal (University of Montreal) Title: From Word Prediction to Complex Skills: Data Flywheels for Mathematical Reasoning Abstract: This talk examines how large language models (LLMs) evolve from simple word prediction to complex skills, with a focus on mathematical problem solving. A major driver of AI products today is the fact […]

Bosonic and fermionic 1-form symmetries and anomaly matching

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

Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar *via Zoom only* Speaker: Rajath Radhakrishnan (ICTP, Trieste) Title: Bosonic and fermionic 1-form symmetries and anomaly matching Abstract: In this talk, I will consider bosonic and fermionic (non-invertible) 1-form symmetries in 2+1d QFTs. These are 1-form symmetries implemented by topological line operators with real spins. I will present a classification […]

Positive mass and rigidity theorems in Riemannian geometry  

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

Member Seminar Speaker: Puskar Mondal Title: Positive mass and rigidity theorems in Riemannian geometry Abstract: Positive mass theorem proved by Schoen-Yau, Witten, Taubes-Parker is one of the most important results in scalar curvature geometry in asymptotically flat settings. Since then several versions have been proven and generalized to other geometries such as asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds. The analogous […]
