Lecture by Al Seckel Illusions are a wonderful window into perception, as they can reveal the hidden rules of the human perceptual system in a way that normal perceptual processes do not. Al Seckel provides an interactive and transformative journey through our inner minds; see, experience, and take delight in some of the world’s most … Read more
Title: Principal G-bundles on Elliptic Curves Speaker: John Morgan Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2011 Time: 1:00 – 2:00pm Place: Lecture Hall 102, Simons Center Abstract: In this talk we fix a compact group G and consider holomorphic principal bundles over a given elliptic curve with structure group the complex form of G. We will introduce various ways … Read more

Title: Variations on Einstein’ s Equations Speaker: Nigel Hitchin, Oxford University and the Simons Center Time: 1 pm Tuesday, Sept. 27. Place: Auditorium 103, Simons Center Abstract: Einstein metrics in Riemannian geometry, and the associated Ricci flow, have been studied intensely for many years. The talk will discuss two analogues of these equations — one … Read more
Julian Sonner will give a talk, September 8, 2011, titled “Holographic Fermi Surfaces: The view from the Top Down”, in SCGP Room 102 at 11:15am Abstract: Strongly interacting fermions at finite density are infamously hard to treat. Gauge/gravity duality gives a way of studying them in a controlled environment. For such studies to be reliable it is important … Read more
