10/28/2020: Coassociative ALE Fibrations and Spectral Covers of Riemannian Higgs Bundles 4/10/2019: Deformations of G2-structures, String Dualities and Flat Higgs Bundles October 28, 2020 TITLE: Coassociative ALE Fibrations and Spectral Covers of Riemannian Higgs Bundles ABSTRACT: I will explain a general setup for constructing -orbifolds that are coassociative fibrations by ADE singularities . There is […]

Pavel Putrov: Lectures
4/10/2019: 6d (1,0) theories on 4-manifolds 6/4/2019 Cayley cycles and modular forms April 10, 2019 TITLE: 6d (1,0) theories on 4-manifolds Lecture cancelled. June 4, 2019 TITLE: Cayley cycles and modular forms ABSTRACT: In the M/string-theory setting, 5-branes wrapping a Cayley cycle in a local Spin(7)-manifold define an effective 2d conformal field theory with minimal […]

Gordon Kane: Lectures
4/11/2019: Hidden Sectors and Associated Physics — Supersymmetry Breaking, Dark Matter, de Sitter Vacuum April 11, 2019 TITLE: Hidden Sectors and Associated Physics — Supersymmetry Breaking, Dark Matter, de Sitter Vacuum ABSTRACT: Compactifications on G2 manifolds lead to theories that describe the world well. As we understand G2 manifolds better we can test and improve […]
Shamit Kachru: Lectures
4/08/2019: K3 Metrics from Little String Theory April 8, 2019 TITLE: K3 Metrics from Little String Theory ABSTRACT: I explain how one can find formulae for Ricci flat metrics on K3 surfaces by using data about the BPS spectrum of an auxiliary (compactified) little string theory. Well known approximations to such metrics, like the semi-flat […]
