  • Worldsheets, baby universes, and asymptotic representation theory

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

    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 […]

  • Poincaré Duality in Quantum Error-Correcting Codes

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

    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 […]

  • 4-manifold topology and collision rank of groups

    Virtual

    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

    Zimmer Hall (Science Center) 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA

    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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • On the emergence of representational geometry from the statistics of natural language

    Virtual

    New Technologies in Mathematics Seminar Speaker: Yasaman Bahri (Google DeepMind) Title: On the emergence of representational geometry from the statistics of natural language Abstract: Large language models organize their internal representations into rich geometric structures that mirror the concepts of natural language. For example, categorical concepts often map to linear directions, while words and phrases […]

  • AI for the Working Mathematician

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

    AI for the Working Mathematician Speaker: Andrew Sutherland, MIT Title: TBA

  • 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 […]

  • Northeast Conference on Categorical Methods

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

    Northeast Conference on Categorical Methods Dates: November 6–​7, 2026  Location: CMSA G10, 20 Garden St., Cambridge MA 02138 This conference is intended to bring together researchers in all areas of mathematics and mathematical physics whose work involves the use of methods from categorical algebra, abstract homotopy theory, and higher category theory. Our goal is to […]
