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

Physics and mathematics of knot homologies: June 1 – 5, 2015

Organized by Eugene Gorsky, Sergei Gukov, Mikhail Khovanov, Vivek Shende, and Piotr Sulkowski Dates: June 1 – 5, 2015 The aim of this workshop is to exchange current ideas in physics and mathematics related to knot homologies. Intimate relations between knots and physics, found around 25 years ago in the seminal work by Witten, grew … Read more

Title: Kuranishi Atlases Speaker: Dusa McDuff Date: Tuesday, February 25, 2014 Time: 2:30pm-3:30pm Place: Seminar Room 313, Simons Center       [box, type=”download”]Watch the video. [/box] Abstract: I will explain how to construct a stratified smooth local Kuranishi chart near a genus zero nodal stable map, and the smoothness qualities of the associated isotropy group actions and coordinate changes. … Read more

Geometrical Aspects of Hydrodynamics: May 19 – 23, 2014

Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Krzysztof Gawedzki, Boris Khesin, and Paul Wiegmann Dates: May 19 – 23, 2014 Geometric and group-theoretic methods lie at the foundation of modern studies in hydrodynamics.  Recent applications of fluid dynamics require understanding of fundamental  symmetries of fluids and infinite-dimensional groups featured by hydrodynamical equations. The geometric and topological hydrodynamics is a … Read more
