Gauge theory for string algebroids

May 7, 2020      4:00 pm
Speaker: Mario Garcia-Fernandez

We introduce a moment map picture for holomorphic string algebroids, a special class of holomorphic Courant algebroids introduced in arXiv:1807.10329. An interesting feature of our construction is that the Hamiltonian...

Coarse density of subsets of moduli space

May 6, 2020      4:00 pm
Speaker: Benjamin Dozier

I will discuss coarse geometric properties of algebraic subvarieties of the moduli space of Riemann surfaces.  In joint work with Jenya Sapir, we prove that such a subvariety is coarsely...

Symmetric power functoriality for modular forms

May 6, 2020      3:00 pm
Speaker: James Newton

 Langlands functoriality predicts the transfer of automorphic representations along maps of L-groups. In particular, the symmetric power representation Symm^{n-1} of GL(2) should give rise to a lifting from automorphic representations...

The information in a wave

May 5, 2020      10:00 am
Speaker: Roberto Longo

Suppose that some information is transmitted by an undulatory signal. In Classical Field Theory, the stress-energy tensor provides the energy-momentum density of the wave packet at any time. But, how...
