Aspects of M Theory

MATHEMATICAL PICTURE LANGUAGE

April 13, 2021      10:00 am
Speaker: Jens Hoppe - Technische Universitat Braunschweig

After 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),...

CMSA Mathematical Physics Seminar: Networks and quantization

CMSA EVENTS

April 12, 2021      10:00 am
Speaker: Fei Yan - Rutgers University

I 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...

Canonical heights and vector heights in families

ALGEBRAIC DYNAMICS

April 9, 2021      10:00 am
Speaker: Alex Carney - University of Rochester

Canonical heights are a standard tool of arithmetic dynamics over global fields. When studying families of dynamical systems, or systems over larger fields, however, there are significant geometric obstacles to...

Outward-facing mathematics

OPEN NEIGHBORHOOD

April 7, 2021      4:30 pm
Speaker: Jordan Ellenberg - Wisconsin

I will talk, pretty casually, about random walks, which I first learned about as part of my Harvard undergrad thesis in finite group theory, and which turn out to be...
