Title: Quiver Yangian from Crystal Melting
Abstract: The BPS counting of type IIA string theory on non-compact toric Calabi-Yau
threefolds can be described by crystal melting. I will explain how to construct the BPS algebras for these theories by a “bootstrap” method, where
one solves for the algebra by demanding that it acts on the corresponding
BPS crystal appropriately. The resulting algebras are quiver Yangians Y(Q,W)
that are associated with the quiver and the superpotential of the theory.
Based on joint work with M. Yamazaki (arxiv: 2003.08909).

Big thank you to @MartinaPQuinn of @helloalicepr for moderating the discussion, and of course to our panel @NeasaMcG @CormacORafferty and @laoneill111
@CormacORafferty "to cut yourself off from fundamental research means you could miss out on some of the biggest ideas"
@laoneill "it's our job as researchers to keep reminding governments how important basic research is" "For Dev basic research being carried out in Ireland was a badge of pride"
@NeasaMcG Schrödinger's work in causality was not well received by the religious authorities at the time At the same time DIAS did have Catholic priests working on research projects in the early days, so there was not the conflict you might think between science and religion
@laoneill111 Schrödinger was very popular in social circles in Dublin, a bit of a renaissance man
@CormacORafferty Schrödinger was gifted at explaining difficult concepts
@CormacORafferty on how unsuccessful work, in Schrödinger's case, unified field theory, is just as important part of science. And no one has managed to crack it yet! And not forgetting the cat
@laoneill111 how Schrödinger's book inspired scientists to change fields and result in the finding of the double helix.
@NeasaMcG explaining how DIAS came about and how Schrödinger was attracted to Ireland #DIASdiscovers
