Of course, I do not justify equally wrong comments from certain string theorists Title: The positive Grassmannian, amplituhedron, and cluster algebras [online talk] We introduce a. new idea, boundary averaging, to address the question: Does averaging also work well in AdS/BCFT? It would differ in rare case, if this function evil() itself declared some variables which would want to be.
Webinars - hand2mind [Slides] [Video], Nikita Nekrasov (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) Much as I love this general topic, its getting far from the topic of the posting, so Ill just advise: read my book. You wrote (i) No one convincingly proved the mathematical equivalence between the RNS superstrings and GS formalism. Juan Maldacena In our examples we find agreement with the flux modularity conjecture of Kachru, Nally, and Yang. Likely Witten was thinking of things like the 6d (2,0) superconformal theory which has not classical limit and its construction is somewhat mysterious.
String Math 2021 - Simon Donaldson (Imperial College) - YouTube I will discussa phenomenon similar to Frobenius of modular representation theory. This will be done in the language of QP manifolds/symplectic L-infinity algebroids which is convenient for showing the duality is a canonical transformation in string phase space, and also provides glimpses of a generalisation towards U-duality and higher branes. Talks are available for watching every day via Youtube, links are on the main page. crickets]. By clicking Post Your Answer, you agree to our terms of service, privacy policy and cookie policy. LQG calculations claim to reproduce the semi-classical limit. Nikita Nekrasov The derivations listed in 0705.3024 seem to fall into three classes: String Theory (D-brane/String state counting, AdS/CFT, Fuzzballs) Georgios Linardopoulos (Wigner Research Centre for Physics) In the limit of large covering, we arrive at an even more fine grained picture and see how the moduli space of string worldsheets arises fromthe dual CFT. W 2018 zostaa zaproszona jako wykadowczyni podczas Midzynarodowego Kongresu Matematycznego jest to jedno z najwaniejszych wyrnie dla matematykw. nagrod Salema, nagrod Matematycznego Instytutu Claya, nagrod New Horizons in Mathematics. Result is the same as without the 'new'. Solutions to this system describe compactifications of heterotic string theory with N=1 supersymmetry on a 7-dimensional manifold. Breaking news: on July 5, 2022, Maryna Viazovska was awarded with the Fields medal, the highest recognition in mathematics! I think a better service to the public would be made by discussing things that are well established, rather that the permanent focus on what is coming/the future etc. +1 upvote from me, and I've already used it in a project. Poor fool that I am, Math 250 (Vector Analysis) . Dan Freed (University of Texas at Austin) [Slides] [Video], Yaping Yang (University of Melbourne) Black Hole Entropy and the Problem of Universality [https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0702094]. Theres a lot of repetition of tired old arguments from decades ago, zero acknowledgement that things have not worked out as hoped. The latter approach allows to realize holomorphically and topologically twisted field theories directly as worldvolume theories in deformed supergravity backgrounds, and we make extensive use of this. His second talk explains how to think of things in terms of classifying representations of the Poincare group, an old topic that unfortunately is often no longer taught (see chapter 42 of my QM textbook). What is the !! Suomynona, APCS. I will also explain how the Hecke operators from geometric and analytic Langlands correspondence are realized in the four dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory. While such boundary conditions are not compatible with topological twists, deformations that define boundary conditions for the topological theories were recently introduced by Costello and Gaiotto. The String Math series of conferences have become an important eventfor anyone working at the interface between mathematics and theoretical physics (string theory, quantum field theory and adjacent topics), bringing together an interdisciplinary cohort of pure mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Za te oraz inne osignicia otrzymaa wiele prestiowych nagrd i wyrnie, m.in. In this case, because the string is assumed to be safe and trusted, we would expect use of either eval() or the Function constructor to be reasonable. Abstract: Homological block, commonly denoted by , is a 3-manifold invariant whose existence was predicted by S. Gukov, D. Pei, P. Putrov, and C. Vafa in 2017 using 3d/3d correspondence. In this talk, I will construct a large class of discrete geometric structures in all dimensions that satisfy these two properties, using the theory of hyperbolic buildings. Staging Ground Beta 1 Recap, and Reviewers needed for Beta 2, Evaluate an Equation in Javascript, without eval(), Stand-in mathematical replacement for eval. Share. According to this philosophy, connection to particle physics appear[s] hopeless/parochial/unimportant. While the community just spread out to other problems. [Slides], Nicolo Piazzalunga (Uppsala University) IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, June 14 - 18, 2021- Turned into an online eventSpeaker: Alba Grassi (CERN)Lecture title: Painlev equations, quantum operators and gaug. Abstract: I will discuss methods to numerically approximate Ricci-flat metrics for Calabi-Yau n-folds defined as complete intersections in toric ambient spaces.
String theorist Michio Kaku: 'Reaching out to aliens is a terrible idea Abstract: About 40 years ago J. Zinn-Justin formulated several conjectures about the perturbative expansion of the spectrum a quantum Hamiltonian (for the polynomial potential in 1 variable). This talk is based on joint work with Si Li. They are exactly solvable in terms of Whittaker functions. The string community has been dishonest for at least 20 years, and has absolutely no right to give any lessons about ethics in science. Abstract: We implement the unitary equivalence of modular Hamiltonian $hat{H}_{mathrm{mod}}$ and Hamiltonian $hat{H}$,$hat{H}simhat{U}^{dagger}hat{H}_{mathrm{mod}}hat{U}$, to realize the emergence of time from an unitary operator $hat{U}$. Yuji Tachikawa There are many equivalent graphs that are related by Kirby moves which are interpreted as integrating out gauge nodes from the perspectives of 3d theories. If one knows how to read between the lines, then at this lecture you finally can hear what, in different words, could well be re-phrased as: the search for M-theory using dualities failed. Strings 2021 is an annual conference that brings together the entire string theory community. [Slides] [Video], Maxim Kontsevich (IHS) In this talk, I will present a match between the large-N saddles of the correlation functions of determinants with semiclassical D-brane configurations in the dual theory, using a spectral curve construction. Yes, but I cant imagine that Witten was thinking of anything as well known and well understood as a qubit. Abstract: The heterotic G2 system is the 7-dimensional analogue of the Hull-Strominger system. [Slides] [Video], Conan Leung (Chinese University of Hong Kong) Abstract: It has been found, originally in the context of black hole thermodynamics, that the concept of entropy is better-defined in the presence of gravity than in ordinary quantum field theory without gravity. In 2016 the speaker was lucky enough to solve the sphere packing problem in dimension 8 and contribute to its solution in dimension 24. I will also discuss a second application, a new definition of FJRW invariants in the presence of an arbitrary symmetry group. In response to the obvious question about relation to experiment and testability, people have clearly completely given up on this, with nothing to say (other than a bogus claim that string theory makes some prediction about B-mode polarization), going on about how it took thousands of years for the atomic hypothesis to be vindicated. AP Computer Science A. For different choices of superpotential, the LG theory categorifies the quantum knot invariants associated with any simply-laced Lie algebra. Title: Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov revisited: (non)supersymmetric gauge theories, defects, and localization The corresponding Gopakumar-Vafa invariants provide a discrete refinement of the invariants associated to the smooth deformation. Nicolai Reshetikhin The real stuff happens in physics without a press release, book, or blog. How can I guarantee that my enums definition doesn't change in JavaScript? I will argue that they are encoded in the topological string partition functions of the singular Calabi-Yau itself and its various non-commutative resolutions. Mark Gross Equivalent plumbing graphs suggest dual theories. Davide Gaiotto [Slides]. Rio de Janeiro, June 18th, 2021. [Slides] [Video], Heeyeon Kim (Rutgers University) Following Nimas final recommendation, an experimentalist and a string theorist hang out together. It will often be a good idea to analyze states in terms of these irreducible representations. There will also be a public lecture and outreach activity Ask a String Theorist during the weekend. IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, June 14 18, 2021 Turned into an online eventSpeaker: Mina Aganagic (UC Berkeley)Lecture title: Knot homologies from mirror symmetryEvent page: http://bit.ly/stringmath2021Videos playlist: https://bit.ly/3v2lHlsThe series of String-Math conferences has developed into a central event on the interface between mathematics and physics related to string theory, quantum field theory and neighboring subjects. This approach is based on 2105.06039 and is joint work with Aganagic and Rapcak. One can add superpotentials, which lead to Seiberg-like dualities between plumbing graphs with triangles. Cookies and PrivacyAboutEventsNews Everything is in the description. That looks nothing like the real world, and as Minwalla points out, no one at the Strings conference is even talking about that sort of string theory anymore. (Anyway, String Theory is mainly about Quantum Gravity). Fd. Abstract: The interpretation of semiclassical gravity as an average of CFTs has provided much progress in understanding the factorization problem and the information paradox. Possible applications include computing massive string excitations, volumes of non-calibrated cycles, the SYZ conjecture, and approximating solutions to the Hermitian Yang-Mills equations. Math Talks and Number Strings provide the foundation to help students improve their understanding and comprehension of numbers. What sort of strategies would a medieval military use against a fantasy giant?

Abstract: We revisit Vafa-Witten theory in the more general setting whereby the underlying moduli space is not that of instantons, but of the full Vafa-Witten equations. Quantum physics studies the smallest objects in the universelike atoms and subatomic particleswhile general relativity typically focuses on larger-scale objects in the universe. Besides reviews of major developments in the field and specialized talks on specific topics, an important novelty will be several informal discussions involving two researchers and the conference participants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwmxaXTnGMI Title: Automorphic Spectra and the Conformal Bootstrap This is exactly the place where you should be using eval(), or you will have to loop through the string and generate the numbers. Abstract: We discuss the partition functions of topologically twisted 5d SU(2) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on X x S1, where X is a smooth closed four-manifold. Its very good but he often leaves the reader a lot to figure out. We also provide the action of braiding on the relevant branes, so we can calculate Khovanov homology for any knot given its braid representation. General string perturbation theory using 2d conformal field theory. Chrome's Content Security Policy will still throw EvalError, Creating constructor doesn't make sense here and it takes unnecessary resources. For a so called well defined mathematical theory, cannot be tweaked etc, the number of unsolved issues with it and the claim not understanding what string theory is is inconsistent. In my talk, I will discuss the following two examples.
Joerg Teschner (DESY) Since its online only, talks are much more accessible than usual (and since its free, over 2000 people have registered to in principle participate via Zoom).
