Physics of Langlands Dualities
Mathematical Physics Seminar| Speaker: | Philsang Yoo, Northwestern |
| Location: | 3106 MSB |
| Start time: | Thu, Nov 17 2016, 11:00AM |
In the first part of the talk, I will discuss a joint project with Chris Elliott on realizing the geometric Langlands correspondence as an instance of S-duality by careful analysis of Kapustin and Witten’s work using derived algebraic geometry. In the second part of the talk, I will propose a program to simultaneously capture different instances of Langlands dualities in geometric representation theory through the lens of quantum field theory. No prior knowledge of S-duality, geometric Langlands, or derived algebraic geometry is assumed.
