April 12, 2021 10:00 amI will describe two quantization scenarios. The first scenario involves the construction of a quantum trace map computing a link "invariant" (with possible wall-crossing behavior) for links L in a...

MATHEMATICAL PICTURE LANGUAGE
April 13, 2021 10:00 amAfter giving a brief introduction to Membrane Theory and its matrix regularization, commenting on an inherent dynamical symmetry for all M-branes (the related “reconstruction-algebra” for M=1, strings, being the Virasoro algebra),...

HARVARD-MIT ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY
April 13, 2021 3:00 pmI will work on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold X which satisfies the Bogomolov-Gieseker conjecture of Bayer-Macr\`i-Toda for weak stability conditions, such as the quintic threefold. I will explain how wall-crossing with...

RANDOM MATRIX
April 14, 2021 2:00 pmSpin glasses are models of statistical mechanics encoding disordered interactions between many simple units. One of the fundamental quantities of interest is the free energy of the model, in the...
