Ahlfors Lectures: Mohammed Abouzaid
Two-lecture series by Mohammed Abouzaid (Stanford): 'Framed bordism and nearby Lagrangians' (September 16) and 'Complex bordism and Hamiltonian fibrations' (September 17), on bordism-theoretic approaches to Lagrangian embeddings in symplectic manifolds and Arnold's nearby Lagrangian conjecture.
Kirk Public Lecture | An operator-algebraic perspective on topological orders
Kirk Public Lecture at the Isaac Newton Institute by Yoshiko Ogata (Kyoto University) on how macroscopic properties of matter emerge from quantum particle interactions and the classification of topological order from an operator-algebraic perspective in mathematical physics.
CMSA/Tsinghua Math-Science Literature Lecture: Robert Gompf
Robert E. Gompf (University of Texas, Austin) lectures on 'On classifying smoothings of R^4 - from the beginning to the present', tracing how 4-manifold topology emerged from the breakthroughs of Freedman and Donaldson and how Euclidean 4-space admits exotic smoothings that resist classification by countable numerical invariants.
Preparation of Tensor Network States
Isaac Newton Institute seminar in the 'Mathematics of many-body entanglement' (MMB) programme: Ignacio Cirac of the Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik speaks on the preparation of tensor network states.
EPSRC New Investigator Award: applicant-led mode
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council supports early-career researchers making their first application as project lead to develop an independent research vision and establish a research group. Applications can address any EPSRC-remit field, including artificial intelligence, healthcare technologies, engineering, mathematical sciences, physical sciences, clean energy, security, and quantum technologies.
