Member Seminar Speaker: Chuck Doran Title: Modularity of Landau-Ginzburg Models Abstract: Fano varieties are the basic building blocks of algebraic varieties. Smooth Fano varieties have been classified in dimensions one (the projective line), two (del Pezzo surfaces), and three (Mori-Mukai classification). What does Mirror Symmetry have to say about such classifications? By studying the Landau-Ginzburg models mirror to […]
Speakers: Dan Freed (Harvard Math and CMSA), Denis Auroux (Harvard Math)
Member Seminar Speaker: Puskar Mondal Title: Recent progress on coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills dynamics Abstract: I will discuss my recent work with prof. S.T. Yau on Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. I’ll discuss the main ideas behind the stability of the Minkowski and Milne space time under coupled gauge-gravity perturbations. Construction of the gauge invariant energies that control the suitable […]
