New England Algebraic Topology and Mathematical Physics Seminar
A miniconference in topology and quantum field theory
Providence College— November 2-3, 2024
Ruane Center for the Humanities, Room 205
|
Overview:
- The miniconference is targeted at researchers and graduate students working on the interface between topology and mathematical physics. Topics include the theory of factorization algebras, factorization homology, and the theory of configuration spaces; functorial TQFT and its applications to knot and manifold invariants; and connections to geometric representation theory.
- All talks are intended to be accessible to graduate students with an interest in topology and mathematical physics. In addition to the invited talks there will be a small number of additional contributed talks from graduate students.
- There is limited funding available to cover the local and travel
expenses of graduate students based in the New England area.
If you would like to be considered for funding, please indicate so in the registration form, link here. Registration must be submitted by October 4 to be considered for funding.
- Transportation: there is both a commuter rail and Amtrak line from Boston to downtown Providence.
Speakers:
- Élie Casbi (Northeastern University)
- Ivan Contreras (Amherst College)
- Sarah Harrison (Northeastern University)
- Andy Neitzke (Yale University)
