Title: AGT Conjecture Speaker: Hiraku Nakajima, RIMS Kyoto University Date: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm Place: Lecture Hall 102, Simons Center       Abstract: More than 10 years ago, I constructed representations of Heisenberg algebras and affine algebras on the homology groups of instanton moduli spaces on certain 4-manifolds. The proof was mathematically rigorous, … Read more
