Joint Math/CMSA Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Dan Freed, Harvard Math & CMSA Title: Abelian gauge fields and duality Abstract: Motivated by the new paper arXiv:2603.19161, I will give a general talk about abelian gauge fields, including duality. I will start with classical Maxwell theory, then discuss various “finite” examples, the typical p-form abelian […]
