Colloquium Speaker: Justin Moore (Cornell University) Title: Homology, higher derived limits, and set theory Abstract: Singular homology has a number of well-known defects when used to study spaces such as […]
Speaker: Roman Geiko (UCLA) Title: When does a three-dimensions Chern-Simons theory have a time reversal symmetry? In this talk, I will discuss the time reversal invariance of (spin-) Chern-Simons theory […]
Quantum Matter Seminar Speaker: Aleksey Cherman (UMN) Title: Exact lattice chiral symmetry in 2d gauge theory Abstract: Preserving the symmetries of massless fermions is a well-known challenge in lattice field […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Alejandro Poveda Title: On compactness phenomena Abstract: In this presentation I shall be preoccupied with compactness phenomena in set theory. Compactness is the phenomenon by which the local properties of […]

Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Daniel Harlow (MIT) Title: Gauging spacetime inversions Abstract: Spacetime inversion symmetries such as parity and time reversal play a central role in […]
CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Iacopo Brivio (Harvard) Title: Anti-Iitaka conjecture in positive characteristic Abstract: Given a smooth projective variety, its Kodaira dimension kappa(K_X) is an important invariant that measures the rate of growth […]
On Friday, Jan. 26, 2024 the CMSA will host the CMSA/MATH Bi-Annual Gathering for Harvard CMSA and Math affiliates in the CMSA Common Room at 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA […]
https://youtu.be/hmRFX1Js6IA General Relativity Seminar Speaker: Aghil Alaee, Clark University Title: A quasi-local mass in general relativity Abstract: In this talk, we define a new gauge-independent quasi-local mass and energy with respect to the Minkowski spacetime. In contrast to other […]
Algebraic Geometry in String Theory Seminar Speaker: Max Weinreich (Harvard) Title: Algebraic billiards and dynamical degrees Abstract: Billiards is one of the most-studied dynamical systems, modeling the behavior of a point […]
Quantum Matter in Mathematics and Physics Seminar Speaker: Anurag Anshu (Harvard) Title: Quantum Circuits to local Hamiltonian: role in quantum complexity and new constructions Abstract: At the heart of the theory […]
CMSA Member Seminar Speaker: Freid Tong (Harvard CMSA) Title: On complete Calabi-Yau metrics and Monge-Ampere equations Abstract: Calabi-Yau metrics are central objects in K\"ahler geometry and also string theory. The existence of Calabi-Yau metrics on compact […]
