Seminar series within Geometry and Physics
The purpose of these seminars is to have informal discussions and presentations of aspects of mathematics in string theory, quantum field theory, more broadly, theoretical physics, as encountered by members of the group or invited speakers.
The seminars typically take place on Wednesdays 10:30-11:30.
Organizers: Michele Del Zotto, Tobias Ekholm, Maxim Zabzine
