A new construction of c = 1 conformal blocks

CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10 20 Garden Street, Cambridge

The Virasoro conformal blocks are very interesting since they have many connections to other areas of math and physics. For example, when c = 1, they are related to tau functions of Painlevé […]

Rational self-maps on some surfaces and hypersurfaces

Science Center 530

We will study the existence of rational self-maps on algebraic varieties, with an eye towards K3 surfaces and cubic hypersurfaces. See webpage for more details: https://people.math.harvard.edu/~ctm/sem/

Nontransitive and Balanced Sets of Dice

Science Center 507 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge

Let's recall the game "rock-paper-scissors." Although rock beats scissors and scissors beats paper, rock does not beat paper. We call this property "nontransitivity." Does this same idea translate to dice? […]
