Harvard-MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar: On Ueno’s conjecture in positive characteristics
SEMINARS, HARVARD-MIT ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY
December 5, 2023 3:00 pmSpeaker: Jeff Baudin - EPFL Lausanne
In characteristic zero, Ueno's conjecture states that if X is a smooth projective variety with Kodaira dimension zero, then its Albanese morphism in an algebraic fiber space and the Kodaira...

CMSA Topological Quantum Matter Seminar: The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect at ν=5/2: Past, Recent, and Future
SEMINARS, CMSA EVENTS
December 4, 2023 2:00 pmSpeaker: Ken K. W. Ma - Northeastern University
The discovery of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states started a new chapter in modern physics. Nowadays, more than 70 FQH states at different filling factors have been observed. Among them,...

Gauge Theory and Topology Seminar: The (fractional) Dehn twist coefficient and infinite-type surfaces
SEMINARS, GAUGE-TOPOLOGY-SYMPLECTIC
December 1, 2023 3:30 pmSpeaker: Hannah Turner - Georgia Institute of Technology
The fractional Dehn twist coefficient (FDTC) is an invariant of a self-map of a surface which is some measure of how the map twists near a boundary component of the...
