When: April 29, 2025

Where: Science Center 507

Address: 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States

Speaker: Anadil Saeed Rao (Northeastern) | Vasily Krylov (CMSA/Harvard)

Anadil will finish his part of the talk. Vasily will then explain how to understand moduli spaces of instantons on R^4, monopoles on R^3, and instantons on Taub-NUT spaces algebraically as so-called bow varieties. We will see how affine type A Nakajima quiver varieties and Slodowy slices arise as special cases of bow varieties. Time permitting, we will also discuss applications to 3D mirror symmetry and Coulomb branches.
