Description:In 1994, Witten [12] introduced a non-linear partial differential equation on a 4-manifold, called the Seiberg-Witten equations today. This PDE has brought significant progresses in 4-dimensional topology and geometry. In this series of lectures, I shall start with the basics of Seiberg-Witten theory and survey some of rather recent developments in Seiberg-Witten theory.The first le...
This is an in-person seminar at BIMSA over lunch, aimed to promote communications in the Number Theory teams at BIMSA and YMSC. Each talk is 45 minutes long and does not focus on research results. Instead, we encourage each speaker to discuss either (1) a basic notion in Number Theory or related fields or (2) applications or computational aspects of Number Theory. People interested in Number Th...
