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 ...
SpeakerDu Pei is currently an associate professor of quantum mathematics at the University of Southern Denmark. He obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 2016 from Caltech. His main research interests concern the geometric, algebraic and categorical properties of quantum field theory.AbstractThe existence of quantum field theories in higher dimensions predicts many hidden algebraic struct...
