• The free field and the Fock space

    Science Center 507 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge

    Joint Math/CMSA Geometry and Quantum Theory Seminar Speaker: Tobias Schmidt, Harvard CMSA Title: The free field and the Fock space Abstract: Last time we defined a stochastic process on tempered distributions corresponding to the euclidean action of the free field. In this talk, we begin with verifying the Markov property. Next, we will show a […]

  • Can Math Mend a Broken Heart?

    CMSA Q&A Seminar
    Common Room, CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    CMSA Q&A Seminar Speaker: Wes Cain, Harvard Title: Can Math Mend a Broken Heart? Abstract: I will discuss an abnormal cardiac rhythm known as T-wave alternans, and a simple feedback control method (time-delay autosynchronization, TDAS) that has been used successfully to suppress alternans experimentally. Variants of TDAS have been used for chaos control and prevention […]

  • Recent developments in super geometry

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Geometry and Mathematical Physics Seminar Speaker: Ron Donagi, University of Pennsylvania Title: Recent developments in super geometry Abstract: String theory leads naturally to consideration of Super Riemann surfaces and their super moduli spaces. Much of the classical theory of curves and their moduli, e.g. existence of a Deligne-Mumford compactification, has natural super-analogues. But a number […]

  • Unitary extended topological field theories and higher Hermitian objects

    CMSA Room G10 CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    Colloquium Speaker: Lukas Müller (LMU Munich) Title: Unitary extended topological field theories and higher Hermitian objects Abstract: Mathematically, topological field theories study the representation theory of manifolds undercutting and gluing. Extended topological field theories take this idea a step further by allowing one to cut manifolds in multiple directions, leading to a formulation in terms […]
