New England Algebraic Topology and Mathematical Physics Seminar
A miniconference in topology and quantum field theory
Boston University— November 15, 2025
Center for Computing and Data Sciences, 665 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, Room 548
|
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.
- Registration is now open.
For graduate students not located in close proximity to Boston University, there is a small amount of funds available for lodging and transportation. Please indicate whether you would like to request funding on the registration form below.
- The talks will take place in room 548 (fifth floor) of the Center for Computing and Data Sciences (CDS) which is located at 665 Commonwealth Avenue.
