March 8, 2024 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
CMSA, 20 Garden St, Common Room
Speaker:

Dan Freed - Harvard University

In joint work with Greg Moore and Constantin Teleman we show how ideas and techniques in topological field theory apply to the study of symmetry in quantum field theory.  I will discuss how this came about, beginning with some discussion of symmetry in mathematics more generally, and give some examples.

Friday, March 8 at 12pm, with lunch, in the lounge at CMSA (20 Garden Street).
