Speaker: Du Pei Title: Wall-crossing from Higgs bundles to vortices Abstract: Quantum field theories can often be used to uncover hidden algebraic structures in geometry and hidden geometric structures in […]
Abstract: I describe our work looking at `traditional’ scenarios of moduli stabilisation from a holographic perspective. This reveals some interesting structure that is not apparent from the top-down perspective. For […]
Abstract: The n-queens problem asks how many ways there are to place n queens on an n x n chessboard so that no two queens can attack one another, and the […]
Abstract: It is well known that the Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces are smooth. In higher dimensions the Hilbert schemes of points are in general singular. In this talk […]
Speaker: Karim Adiprasito, Hebrew University and University of Copenhagen Title: Anisotropy, biased pairing theory and applications Abstract: Not so long ago, the relations between algebraic geometry and combinatorics were strictly governed […]
https://youtu.be/rRGh97sOtKE Speaker: Patrick Massot, Laboratoire de Mathématiques d’Orsay and CNRS Title: Why explain mathematics to computers? Abstract: A growing number of mathematicians are having fun explaining mathematics to computers using […]
Abstract: The gravitational dual to the grand canonical ensemble of a large N holographic theory is a charged black hole. These spacetimes can have Cauchy horizons that render the classical gravitational […]
Abstract: During development, organisms interact with their natural habitats while undergoing morphological changes, yet we know little about how the interplay between developing systems and their environments impacts animal morphogenesis. Cnidaria, […]
Speaker: Jie Yang, Delft University of Technology Title: ARCH: Know What Your Machine Doesn’t Know Abstract: Despite their impressive performance, machine learning systems remain prohibitively unreliable in safety-, trust-, and ethically sensitive […]
Speaker: Freid Tong Title: The complex Monge-Ampere equation in Kahler geometry Abstract: The complex Monge-Ampere equations occupies an central role in K\”ahler geometry, beginning with Yau’s famous solutions of the Calabi […]
Speaker: Eric Sharpe (Virginia Tech) Title: Anomaly resolution via decomposition Abstract: In this talk we will discuss a method of anomaly resolution due to Wang-Wen-Witten in the special case of […]
Speaker: Biao Lian (Princeton) Title: Integrability and chaos of 1+1d chiral edge states Abstract: I will talk about the integrability and chaos of 1+1d interacting chiral edge states, which may […]
