Sara Pasquetti gives colloquium at Perimeter Institute in Canada

Sara Pasquetti is spending this semester as an Emmy Noether Fellow at the Perimeter Institute in Canada.  On Wednesday 18th March, she gave a colloquium on “Exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories in various dimension“.  One of the central challenges in theoretical physics is to develop non-perturbative methods to describe quantitatively the dynamics of strongly […]


Cesare Tronci gives Differential Geometry Seminar at Sheffield

Cesare Tronci visited the Mathematics Department at the University of Sheffield on Monday 24 March.  He gave a talk in the Differential Geometry Seminar on “The geometry of collisionless kinetic theories“.  An abstract follows: kinetic theories of multiparticle systems are dynamical continuum models governing the evolution of a probability density function on phase space. These […]


Martin Wolf’s paper on twistor space appears in Comm Math Phys

Martin Wolf’s paper, co-authored with Christian Saemann (Heriot-Watt University), has appeared in Communications in Mathematical Physics.  The title is “Non-Abelian tensor multiplet equation from twistor space“, with abstract: the paper establishes a Penrose–Ward transform yielding a bijection between holomorphic principal 2-bundles over a twistor space and non-Abelian self-dual tensor fields on six-dimensional flat space-time. Extending […]
