Title:

The extended Bogomolny equations with Nahm pole boundary conditions

Abstract:

There is a well-known proposal by Witten that the Kapustin-Witten equations with Nahm pole type of boundary conditions can be related with knot invariants. While the Kapustin-Witten equations are generally hard to analyse, its local model: The extended Bogomolny equations are much easier. These equations are defined on X×(0,+∞), where X is a 3-dimensional manifold with possibly knotted points. In this talk, I will give an introduction on Witten's proposal and some studies on these equations.

      Integrable boundary conditions for quad-graph systems

      AbstractI will first give an overview of some aspects of integrable quad-graph systems . This includes the notion of multi-dimensional consistency, classification results of quad-equations, connections to complex analysis. Then, I will show how to implement initial-boundary value problems for quad-graph systems. It relies on the notion of boundary consistency that defines integrable boundary co...

      Stability conditions on K3 surfaces and mass of spherical objects

      AbstractHuybrechts proved that a stability condition on a K3 surface is determined by the stability of spherical objects. Motivated by the study of the Thurston compactification of spaces of stability conditions expected by Bapat, Deopurlar and Licata, I would like to show that a stability condition on a K3 surface is determined by the mass of spherical objects. This talk is based on the joint ...
