Geometric Flows Organized by Simon Brendle, Xiuxiong Chen, Simon Donaldson, and Yuanqi Wang October 13 – December 19, 2014 Since its invention in 1982, Hamilton’s Ricci flow has become a central tool in global differential geometry. In particular, the Ricci flow has played a central role in Perelman’s proof of the Poincare conjecture, as well as … Read more
Gauge Theory, Integrability, and Novel Symmetries of Quantum Field Theory Organized by Anton Kapustin, Nikita Nekrasov, Samson Shatashvili, Volker Schomerus, and Konstantin Zarembo September 2 – December 19, 2014 The interplay between the supersymmetric gauge theories and (non-supersymmetric) integrable theories in various dimensions is a puzzling development of several decades of research. In recent years … Read more
Title: Exponential Integrals Speaker: Maxim Kontsevich Date: Tuesady, August 19, 2014 Time: 2:00pm-3:15pm Place: Auditorium 103, Simons Center [box, type=”download”]Watch the video.[/box] Abstract: I’ll discuss general properties of integrals of exponents of polynomial functions on complex algebraic varieties, and infinite-dimensional generalizations. In particular, I’ll give a new interpretation of the solution of Hitchin equation as semi-infinite cohomology.
