Title: Overview of gauge theory and submanifold geometry on G_{2} manifolds, I Speaker: Simon Donaldson Date: Tuesady, August 19, 2014 Time: 03:30pm-04:30pm Place: Auditorium 103, Simons Center [box, type=”download”]Watch the video.[/box]
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.
