Title: Large Deviation Principles for Bosonic Random Permutations Speaker: Matthew Dickson (University of Warwick) Abstract: Bosons are quantum particles whose collective wave-functions are symmetricunder the transposition of particles. By using the Feynman-Kac formulae,boson gases can be described by… Read More

Title: Free-Fermion entanglement and Time and Band Limiting Speaker: Luc Vinet (Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM)) Abstract: We shall discuss entanglement open finite free-Fermion chains associated with families of discrete orthogonal polynomials and present a simple construction for… Read More

Title: Poisson-Lie Analogues of Spin Sutherland Model Speaker: Dr. Feher Laszlo (Wigner Research Centre, Budapest) Abstract: We present generalizations of the well-known trigonometric spin Sutherland models, which were derived by Hamiltonian reduction of ‘free motion’ on cotangent bundles… Read More

Title: Proving 5D AGT conjecture and Duality under Changing Preferred Directions Speaker: Masayuki Fukuda (University of Tokyo) Abstract: We give a proof for the factorization property of the arbitrary matrix elements of the multi-valent intertwining operator (or refined… Read More

Title: Noncommutative algebraic structures Speaker: Natalia Iyudu (University of Edinburgh) Abstract: I will talk on one particular structure called pre-Calabi-Yau algebra. It was introduced around 2005 in attempt to describe a TQFT in case of open strings. This… Read More

Title: Surface Operators in 4d/2d Duality on TQFT picture of 4d N=2 Argyres-Douglas Theories Speaker: Ruidong Zhu (DIAS) Abstract: In this talk, I will first give a brief review on the TQFT picture of 4d N=2 supersymmetric gauge… Read More

Title: Microscopic description of Schwarzschild black hole from quantum field theory Speaker: Dr. Masanori Hanada (University of Southampton/Keio University) Abstract: The gauge/gravity duality relates black hole and QFT. In particular, the ‘small black hole’ in AdS5*S5, which is essentially… Read More
