*** KMPB Summer Kick-Off Meeting 23.5. ***
9:00 – 9:45 | Talk by Gaetan Borot
Title: Topological recursion and the (2g – 2 + n)! bound
Abstract: I will discuss recent results obtained with Eynard and Giacchetto (math-ph/2409.17838) about the universality of the large genus behavior of topological recursion. This will also be the occasion to review the principle of topological recursion and some of its applications in enumerative geometry and mathematical physics.
9:45 – 10:30 | Talk by Olaf Hohm
Title: Homotopy Algebras and Quantum Field Theory
Abstract: I give a brief introduction and overview of an ongoing research program that utilizes homotopy algebras such as A-infinty and L-infinity algebras in quantum field theory (QFT). In particular, many procedures in QFT that on the surface look quite different are governed by the same universal notion of homotopy transfer from algebraic topology.
10:30 – 11:00 | Coffee get together
11:00 – 12:00 | KMPB members’ meeting
followed by lunch at Om Mani Restaurant.
