This week, Thursday at 11:00, U. Haifa Topology & Geometry seminar on December 26, 2019
Geometry & Topology Seminar
Speaker: Magnus Carlson (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
Topic: Arithmetic Field Theories
Place: Room 614 in the Science & Education Building
Time: 11:00
Date: Thursday, December 26, 2019
Abstract:
In a series of recent papers, Minhyong Kim defined an arithmetic analogue of topological Chern-Simons theory. In this talk, I will give an introduction to arithmetic field theories, focusing at first on arithmetic Chern-Simons theory. I will then proceed by defining a new arithmetic field theory, developed in joint work with Minhyong Kim, and give some ideas on why this construction could be arithmetically interesting.
