October 27, 2020 10:00 amAn important open problem is whether there exists a finite quantum group which cannot be cooked up from (classical) finite groups. A finite purely quantum group would be a finite dimensional Hopf C*-algebra (Kac algebra) K...

October 22, 2020 4:30 pmThere are many natural sequences of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry whose homology approaches a "limit", despite the fact that the spaces themselves have growing dimension. If these moduli spaces...

October 21, 2020 10:30 amThe most basic characteristic of an electrically insulating system is the absence of charged currents. This property alone guarantees the conservation of the overall dipole moment (i.e., the first multipole...

DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY
October 20, 2020 8:00 pmWhen we upgrade from equivariant cohomology to equivariant K-theory, many important algebraic/geometric tools such as dimensional vanishing become inapplicable in general. I will explain some nice conditions we can impose on K-theory...

October 20, 2020 3:00 pmStringy Hodge numbers are certain generalizations, to the singular setting, of Hodge numbers. Unlike usual Hodge numbers, stringy Hodge numbers are not defined as dimensions of cohomology groups. Nonetheless, an...
