The virtual fundamental class in symplectic geometry
CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Dusa McDuff (Columbia University) Title: The virtual fundamental class in symplectic geometry Abstract: Essential to many constructions and applications of symplectic geometry is the ability to count J-holomorphic curves. The moduli spaces of such curves have well understood compactifications, and if cut out transversally are oriented manifolds of dimension equal to the index of the problem, so […]

Computational Principles of Auditory Cortex
CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United StatesSpeaker: Xiaoqin Wang (Johns Hopkins University) Title: Computational Principles of Auditory Cortex Abstract: Auditory cortex is located at the top of a hierarchical processing pathway in the brain that encodes acoustic information. This brain region is crucial for speech and music perception and vocal production. Auditory cortex has long been considered a difficult brain region to study and remained one of less […]
