On September 10-11, 2019, the CMSA hosted a second workshop on Topological Aspects of Condensed Matter. New ideas rooted in topology have recently had a major impact on condensed matter physics, and have led to new connections with high energy physics, mathematics and quantum information theory. The aim of this program will be to deepen these […]
As part of the program on Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics, the CMSA will be hosting a weekly seminar on Thursdays at 2:30pm in room G10.

Speaker: Bill Helton (UC San Diego) Title: A taste of noncommutative convex algebraic geometry Abstract: The last decade has seen the development of a substantial noncommutative (in a free algebra) real and complex algebraic geometry. The aim of the subject is to develop a systematic theory of equations and inequalities for (noncommutative) polynomials or rational functions of matrix variables. […]
