AI for the Working Mathematician Speaker: Tristan Buckmaster, NYU Title: A 'Deep Blue-Kasparov moment for mathematics' Abstract: In this talk I will describe recent work with Levent Alpöge proving the blow-up for smooth solutions to the incompressible Euler equations and the broader implications that such results have of the study of mathematics.
CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture Date: Thursday, October 29, 2026 Time: 9:00 - 10:30 am ET Location: online via Zoom Webinar Please register to attend. Zoom Webinar registration Speaker: Peng Shan, Tsinghua University Title: Bridging affine vertex algebras and affine Springer fibres Abstract: In this talk, I would like to explain a program which […]
Geometry and Mathematical Physics Seminar Speaker: Elliott Gesteau (MIT & CMSA) Title: Worldsheets, baby universes, and asymptotic representation theory Abstract: The string worldsheet can be reinterpreted as a baby universe field theory, a formalism first introduced by Coleman, Giddings and Strominger and more recently revived by Marolf and Maxfield to deal with third quantization in […]
Member Seminar Speaker: Bowen Yang Title: Poincaré Duality in Quantum Error-Correcting Codes Abstract: Quantum information is fragile, and one of the main tools for protecting it is a family of error-correcting codes called stabilizer codes. These codes have a second life as exactly solvable models of quantum matter: the code space is the vacuum state […]
Freedman Seminar Speaker: Michael Freedman, Harvard CMSA Title: The geometry of the Bing Involution Abstract: I’ll discuss a new sharper proof, joint with Mike Starbird that precisely quantifies the stretching necessary for Bing’s wild involution on S^3.
Doing Mathematics with AI Agents Date: Saturday, October 31, 2026 Time: 9:00–5:00 pm ET Location: Zimmer Hall (Science Center), 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge MA This is a one day workshop for Boston-area mathematics faculty to work with AI agents in a collaborative environment (designed by Andrew Sutherland) supported by computational infrastructure and formalization tools. This […]
Colloquium Speaker: Ivan Corwin (Columbia University) Title: Extreme Diffusion Abstract: Two hundred years ago, Robert Brown observed the statistics of the motion of grains of pollen in water. It took almost one hundred years for Einstein and others to develop an effective theory describing this motion as that of a random walker. In this talk, I will […]
