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, […]
CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran (Harvard CMSA) Title: Modularity and Fibrations in Mirror Symmetry Abstract: We will introduce appearances of modularity in the study both of families of Calabi-Yau threefolds and of their enumerative invariants. An important role is played by the structure of fibrations and the DHT fibration-degeneration mirror correspondence, which clarifies how these notions […]
