Spin and evolution in geometric models of matter

General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology

In the geometric models of matter, proposed in a joint paper with Michael Atiyah and Nick Manton, static particles like the electron or proton are modelled by Riemannian 4-manifolds. In this talk I will explain how the spin degrees of freedom appear in the geometric framework. I will also discuss a proposal for time evolution in one particular model, namely the Taub-NUT model of the electron.

Formal loop spaces

Mathematical Physics

Formal loop spaces are algebraic analogs to smooth loops. They were introduced and studied extensively in the 2000' by Kapranov and Vasserot for their link to chiral algebras. In this talk, we will introduced higher dimensional analogs of K. and V. formal loop spaces. We will show how derived methods allow such a definition. We will then study their tangent complexes: even though formal loop spaces are "of infinite dimension", their tangent has enough structure so that we can speak of symplectic forms on them.
Free linear BV-quantization as an infinity-functor

PIRSA:16040083

Mathematical Physics

I will describe a functorial construction of the free BV-quantization of chain complexes equipped with antisymmetric forms of degree 1 in the context of infinity-categories. This is joint work with Owen Gwilliam.

On the stable homotopy theory of stacks and elliptic cohomology

David Gepner Purdue University

April 21, 2016

PIRSA:16040082

Mathematical Physics

In this talk, we'll discuss what it means to be a cohomology theory for topological stacks, using a notion of local symmetric monoidal inversion of objects in families. While the general setup is abstract, it specializes to many cases of interest, including Schwede's global spectra. We will then go on to discuss various examples with particular emphasis on elliptic cohomology. It turns out that TMF sees more objects as dualizable (or even invertible) than one might naively expect.

Derived symplectic geometry and classical Chern-Simons theory

Damien Calaque University of Montpellier

April 20, 2016

PIRSA:16040081

Mathematical Physics

In this talk we will review various point-of-views on classical Chern-Simons theory and moduli of flat connections. We will explain how derived symplectic geomletry (after Pantev-Toën-Vaquié-Vezzosi) somehow reconciles all of these. If time permits, we will discuss a bit the quantization problem.
Towards a general description of derived self-intersections

Julien Grivaux Aix-Marseille University

April 20, 2016

PIRSA:16040080

Mathematical Physics

Thanks to a result of Arinkin and Cāldāru, the derived self-intersection of a closed smooth subscheme of an ambiant scheme (over a field of characteristic zero) is a formal object if and only if the conormal bundle of the subscheme extends to a locally free sheaf at the first order. In this talk, we will explain a program as well as new results in order to describe these derived self-intersections in the non-formal case.

Relative non-commutative Calabi-Yau structures and shifted Lagrangians

April 20, 2016

PIRSA:16040079

Mathematical Physics

We give a definition of relative Calabi-Yau structure on a dg functor f: A --> B, discussing a examples coming from algebraic geometry, homotopy theory, and representation theory. When A=0, this returns the usual definition of Calabi-Yau structure on a smooth dg category B. When A itself is endowed with a Calabi-Yau structure and relative Calabi-Yau structure on f is compatible with the absolute structure on A, then we sketch the construction of a shifted symplectic structure on the derived moduli space M_A of pseudo-perfect A-modules, as well as the construction of a Lagrangian structure on the induced map f* : M_B --> M_A of derived moduli. This is joint work with Tobias Dyckerhoff.

PIRSA:16040078

Mathematical Physics

Let L be an exact Lagrangian submanifold of a cotangent bundle T^* M. If a topological obstruction vanishes, a local system of R-modules on L determines a constructible sheaf of R-modules on M -- this is the Nadler-Zaslow construction. I will discuss a variant of this construction that avoids Floer theory, and that allows R to be a ring spectrum. The talk is based on joint work with Xin Jin.
