SpeakerNicolai Reshetikhin is a mathematical physicist working at the interface of quantum field theory, representation theory and geometry.AbstractThe talk will focused on how quantum field theory emerged as a physical theory and on how mathematical methods were evolving. This was a mutually stimulating process. Physics got a magnificent variety of mathematical tools. Mathematics got many new ...
Abstract Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is one of the most famous and important problem in pure math, which predicts deep relations between several invariants of elliptic curves defined over number fields. In 1980s, Beilinson, Bloch, and Kato proposed a vast generalization of this conjecture to motives over number fields. In this talk, we will survey results in recent years concerning Bei...
