Quantization, Gauge Theory, and the Analytic Approach to Geometric by Edward Witten
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive lecture on the intersection of quantum field theory and geometric representation theory. Delve into the analytic approach to geometric quantization and gauge theory with renowned physicist Edward Witten. Learn about the Local and Global Geometric Langlands program, its various forms, and extensions, including physics-inspired approaches based on gauge theory and two-dimensional conformal field theory. Discover recent advances in studying theories with eight supercharges in four and three dimensions, including constructions of vacuum moduli spaces, chiral ring structure, dualities, exact results, and connections to TQFTs and chiral algebras.
