• Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings

    Speaker: Andrea Brini, U Sheffield Title: Curve counting on surfaces and topological strings Abstract: Enumerative geometry is a venerable subfield of Mathematics, with roots dating back to Greek Antiquity and a present […]

  • 11/18/2021 Interdisciplinary Science Seminar

    Title: Amplituhedra, Scattering Amplitudes and Triangulations Abstract: In this talk I will discuss about Amplituhedra – generalizations of polytopes inside the Grassmannian – recently introduced by physicists as new geometric constructions encoding […]

  • Exact Eigenstates in Non-Integrable Systems: A violation of the ETH

    Virtual

    Speaker: B. Andrei Bernevig (Princeton University) Title: Exact Eigenstates in Non-Integrable Systems: A violation of the ETH Abstract: We find that several non-integrable systems exhibit some exact eigenstates that span the energy […]

  • Taming the Landscape

    Abstract: In this talk I will introduce a generalized notion of finiteness that provides a structural principle for the set of effective theories that can be consistently coupled to quantum gravity. More concretely, I […]

  • Prague dimension of random graphs

    Abstract: The Prague dimension of graphs was introduced by Nesetril, Pultr and Rodl in the 1970s: as a combinatorial measure of complexity, it is closely related to clique edges coverings […]

  • Multipartitioning topological phases and quantum entanglement

    Virtual

    Speaker: Shinsei Ryu (Princeton University) Title: Multipartitioning topological phases and quantum entanglement Abstract: We discuss multipartitions of the gapped ground states of (2+1)-dimensional topological liquids into three (or more) spatial regions that […]
