Ten Years in the SCGP and 3 + 4 = 7

By Sir Simon Donaldson Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics

Natural Language: Geometry and Physics

By Nikita Nekrasov Professor of Physics, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics. Founded in 1477, Uppsala University is the oldest university in Northern Europe. The tradition of conferring honorary degrees goes back to the same time yet a different place (Oxford University). It is a tremendous honor to join a long line of scholars linking the centers of knowledge mining and knowledge transfer throughout the globe. Read more…

Regularization Of Moduli Spaces Of Pseudholomorphic Curves – Katrin Wehrheim

This course aims to build a knowledge base on regularization techniques for moduli spaces arising from geometric PDE’s (in particular pseudholomorphic curves). Regularization techniques of the type discussed here were first developed in the 1980s as part of the construction of Gromov-Witten invariants (from pseudoholomorphic curves) and Donaldson invariants (from Yang-Mills instantons). They have since … Read more

Quantum Anomalies Program Seminar: Kristan Jensen

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

Quantum Anomalies Program Seminar: Alexander Gorsky

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
