AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Tasho Kaletha (University of Michigan) Title: Covers of reductive groups and functoriality Abstract: When studying problems arising from Langlands' functoriality principle, one often encounters groups that are extensions of complex reductive groups by Galois groups, but that do not necessarily satisfy all properties to be L-groups of reductive groups. We will show, […]
AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Xinwen Zhu (Stanford) Title: The tame categorical local Langlands correspondence. Abstract: I will discuss a conjectural categorical form of the local Langlands correspondence for p-adic groups and establish the tame part of such correspondence (currently for unramified groups with connected center, and for Q_l-coefficients). I will also explain how to extract a […]
Colloquium Speaker: Natalie Paquette, University of Washington Title: Koszul duality & twisted holography for asymptotically flat spacetimes Abstract: Koszul duality has been understood in recent years to characterize order-type defects in twists of supersymmetric field theories. This notion has been generalized, from a physical point of view, by studying couplings between D-branes and closed string […]
General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Jin Jia, Hunan University Title: Scattering Rigidity Problem Abstract: If the asymptotic behavior of a solution to a nonlinear equation is the same as that of a solution to its linearized equation, it is called a scattering solution. Scattering phenomena are widely observed near steady-state solutions of various mathematical physics equations, […]

AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Stephen D. Miller (Rutgers University) Title: What 4-graviton scattering amplitudes had to say about the unitary dual Abstract: I'll give an update on the problem of describing all unitary representations of a Lie group, including joint work with Michael Green and Pierre Vanhove that used intuition from string theory to show […]
https://youtu.be/eZbYSOpga2U New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Trieu H. Trinh, Google Deepmind and NYU Dept. of Computer Science Title: Solving olympiad geometry without human demonstrations Abstract: Proving mathematical theorems at the olympiad level represents a notable milestone in human-level automated reasoning, owing to their reputed difficulty among the world’s best talents in pre-university mathematics. Current […]
Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Pierrick Bousseau, University of Georgia Title: The KSBA moduli space of log Calabi-Yau surfaces Abstract: The KSBA moduli space, introduced by Kollár--Shepherd-Barron, and Alexeev, is a natural generalization of "the moduli space of stable curves" to higher dimensions. It parametrizes stable pairs (X,B), where X is a projective algebraic […]
AQFT Lecture Series Speaker: Ezra Getzler (Northwestern) Title: Flat connections on derived stacks and the Gauss-Manin connection in derived algebraic geometry
Active Matter Seminar Speaker: Max Bi (Northeastern University) Title: Decoding The Origins of Fluidity in Multicellular Systems Abstract: Organisms continually adapt to mechanical forces at the cellular and tissue levels, a process crucial for sustaining vital life functions. In pivotal physiological processes, such as cancer progression and embryonic development, tissues are often poised near solid-like […]
Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Sungwoo Hong, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) Title: Non-Invertible Peccei-Quinn Symmetry and the Massless Quark Solution to the Strong CP Problem Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss a new solution to the strong CP problem, one of the most important and challenging problems, […]
