Dr. Dima Arinkin, University of Wisconsin – Integrating symplectic stacks

Phillips Hall 332

Mode: In-Person Title: Integrating symplectic stacks Abstract: Shifted symplectic stacks, introduced by Pantev, Toën, Vaquie, and Vezzosi, are a natural generalization of symplectic manifolds in derived algebraic geometry. The word `shifted’ here refers to cohomological shift, which can naturally occur … Read more

Tommaso Botta, ETH Zurich – Solution of qKZB equations from the geometry of Nakajima quiver varieties

Phillips Hall 385

Mode: In-Person Title: Solution of qKZB equations from the geometry of Nakajima quiver varieties Abstract: The quantum Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov (qKZ) equations are an important family of difference equations, deeply related to the representation theory of affine quantum enveloping algebras (trigonometric quantum groups). Over … Read more
