Algebra Seminar Speaker: Sudipta Das, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Title: Transcendental Epsilon Multiplicity via Divisor Volumes Abstract: In this talk, our goal is to establish a structural bridge between asymptotic commutative algebra and transcendence theory to show that there exists an ideal in a Noetherian local ring whose epsilon multiplicity is transcendental. By equating the […]
Algebra Seminar Speaker: Dipendranath Mahato, Tulane University Title: Interpolation for points in $\mathbb{P}^N, N\geq 2$ Abstract: Interpolation problems study hypersurfaces in projective space passing through prescribed sets of points. Classically, one asks how many independent conditions a collection of points imposes on hypersurfaces of a fixed degree, a question that can be studied algebraically via […]
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 […]
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 […]
