Venue：West Lecture Hall

Speaker：MIU Haixing

Brief introduction to the speaker

Miu Haixing, received his bachelor's degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2006 and PhD degree from the University of West Australia in 2010. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher in California Institute of Technology from 2010 to 2013. He joined the Institute for Gravitational Wave Astronomy at the University of Birmingham in 2014 and started teaching students there in 2016. Since 2021, he has been working in Department of Physics, Tsinghua University. His research interests include gravitational-wave detection and precise measurement of quantum particles.

Distinguished Lecture Applications of Quantum Cohomologyto Birational Geometry II
AbstractTheory of quantum multiplication and Gromov-Witten invariants of a smoothprojective algebraic variety X deals with enumerative questions concerningcurves in X. A long time ago physicists E. Witten, R. Dijkgraaf, E. Verlinde, andH. Verlinde discovered a remarkable system of non-linear differential equations on the generating series for Gromov-Witten invariants. In particular, onecan calc...

Spectrum Degeneracies in models with O(N) symmetry from Quantum Evanescence | BIMSA General Lecture
AbstractIn this talk, I will identify degeneracies in the energy spectra of quantum theories that occur at integer values of the continuous parameter N of an analytically continued global O(N) symmetry. I will first present a few examples in the critical O(N) CFT at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (d=4-epsilon) at the first order of epsilon-expansion. Then I will argue the degeneracies happen for...
