[/box] Abstract: The moduli spaces of holomorphic curves have an intriguing structure, reflected in the structure of the Gromov-Witten invariants. One way to get a glimpse into this structure … Read more
Title: Deriving anomaly-induced response from thermal equilibrium. Part II Speaker: Kristan Jensen, Stony Brook University Date: Thursday, March 20, 2014 Time: 1:00pm-2:30pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center Abstract: Now that we believe that anomalies manifest themselves through macroscopic transport in thermal states, I’ll show you how to derive that transport from basic considerations of Euclidean field theory. To do … Read more
Title: “Anomalous Zero Sound” Speaker: Alexander Gorsky (ITEP, Moscow) Date: Monday, March 17 Time: 4:00pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center Abstract: We show that the anomalous term in the current, recently suggested by Son and Yamamoto, modifies the structure of the zero sound mode in the Fermi liquid in a magnetic field. http://arxiv.org/abs/1206.4725 [box, type=”download”]Watch … Read more
