CMSA EVENTS: CMSA MEMBER SEMINAR

When: February 16, 2024

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Where: CMSA, 20 Garden St, Common Room

Address: 20 Garden Street, Cambridge 02138, United States

Speaker: Damian van de Heisteeg - Harvard University

In this talk I consider potentials coming from fluxes in string theory. The minima of these potentials trace out special loci in the moduli space of Calabi-Yau manifolds. I discuss the structure that underlies these minima from a Hodge-theoretic point of view.

Friday, Feb. 16th at 12pm, with lunch, lounge at CMSA (20 Garden Street). Also by Zoom: https://harvard.zoom.us/j/92410768363
