Stability of spacetimes with supersymmetric compactifications
VirtualSpeaker: Lars Andersson (Max-Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics) Title: Stability of spacetimes with supersymmetric compactifications Abstract: Spacetimes with compact directions, which have special holonomy such as Calabi-Yau spaces, play an important role in supergravity and string theory. In this talk I will discuss the global, non-linear stability for the vacuum Einstein equations on a spacetime which is a cartesian product […]

CMSA Math-Science Literature Lecture: The ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons
VirtualSimon Donaldson (Stony Brook) Title: The ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons Abstract: In 1978 (Physics Letters 65A) Atiyah, Hitchin, Drinfeld and Manin (ADHM) described a construction of the general solution of the Yang-Mills instanton equations over the 4-sphere using linear algebra. This was a major landmark in the modern interaction between geometry and physics, and the […]
