Abstract:

"The Man from the 9 Dimensions" is a movie about superstring theory, the leading candidate for a unified theory of forces and matter, including gravity. It is based on the popular science books "引力是什么:支配宇宙万物的神秘之力" and "超弦理论:探究时间、空间及宇宙的本原" written by Professor Ooguri. He also served as an advisor to the movie to ensure its scientific accuracy. The movie has received numerous awards, including the 2016 Best Educational Production Award from the International Planetarium Society and the 2017 Best Full Feature Film and Best 3D Show at the Immersive Film Festival in Portugal. Professor Ooguri will explain the science behind the movie, which will take us from the microscopic world of elementary particles to the macroscopic world of the universe, and to its beginning - the Big Bang.

      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...
