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...
PrerequisiteThe course addresses audience from different backgrounds in mathematics and theoretical physics. Only basic familiarity with algebra and representation theory as well as some elementary topology is assumed. No background in physics is formally required, but for appreciating the applications, a previous exposure to concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum field thepry will be of ava...
