  • Computing WKB periods 

    CMSA Room G02 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Max Meynig, University of Connecticut Title: Computing WKB periods Abstract:  In one dimensional quantum mechanics, the all-orders WKB method leads to ‘quantum periods’ which are formal power series in \hbar whose coefficients are certain period integrals. These periods, which limelight in supersymmetric/string theories, have rich structure and can be […]

  • BV and the ThimTFT

    CMSA Room G02 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA

    Quantum Field Theory and Physical Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Justin Kulp, Stony Brook Title: BV and the ThimTFT Abstract: The SymTFT (or “quiche”) construction relates different global forms of d-dimensional QFTs with discrete symmetry: realizing different global forms as a (d+1)-dimensional TFT on an interval, with a common "physical" boundary condition on one side, and different […]
