Geometry and String Theory Seminar: Spring 2018

Fields , Strings , Matrices and Symmetric Products ∗

In these notes we review the role played by the quantum mechanics and sigma models of symmetric product spaces in the light-cone quantization of quantum field theories, string theory and matrix theory. Based on lectures given among others at the Geometry and Duality Workshop at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, UC Santa Barbara, January 1998 and the Spring School on String Theory and Mathe...

DEVELOPMENT IN STRING THEORY

The string theory is a fast moving subject, both physics wise and in the respect of mathematics. In order to keep up with the discipline it is important to move with new ideas which are being stressed. Here I wish to give extracts from new papers of ideas which I have recently found interesting. There are six papers which are involved: I ."Strings formulated directly in 4 dimensions " A. N...

Beyond-Planar Graphs: Algorithmics and Combinatorics

This report summarizes Dagstuhl Seminar 16452 “Beyond-Planar Graphs: Algorithmics and Combinatorics” and documents the talks and discussions. The seminar brought together 29 researchers in the areas of graph theory, combinatorics, computational geometry, and graph drawing. The common interest was in the exploration of structural properties and the development of algorithms for so-called beyond-...

Seminar Series Calendar – Spring 2018

Report from Dagstuhl Seminar 17292 Topology , Computation and

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 17292 “Topology, Computation and Data Analysis”. This seminar was the first of its kind in bringing together researchers with mathematical and computational backgrounds in addressing emerging directions within computational topology for data analysis in practice. The seminar connected pure and applied mathematicians, with th...
