  • [Math-Phys Seminar] Kunal Gupta (Uppsala University Sweden) : From knots to quivers via exponential networks

    10. Juni 2025 Kunal Gupta (Uppsala University Sweden) From knots to quivers via exponential networks Abstract: I will present our proposal for a mirror derivation of the  quiver description of open topological strings known as the  knots-quivers correspondence, based on enumerative invariants of  augmentation curves encoded by exponential networks. Quivers are  obtained by studying M2…

  • [Math-Phys Seminar] Davide Scazzuso (HU) : Remodelling the Gauged Linear Sigma Model

    3. Juni 2025 Davide Scazzuso (HU Berlin) Remodelling the Gauged Linear Sigma Model Abstract: I will discuss the topological gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) on a disc as a way to encode B-brane physics in the equivariant open-closed A-model topological string theory on toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. I will introduce the disc GLSM partition function via…

  • [Math-Phys Seminar] Jan Pulmann (Charles U.) : Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, half-densities and Lagrangian relations

    27. Mai 2025 Jan Pulmann (Charles University) Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, half-densities and Lagrangian relations Lagrangian relations model maps and more general correspondences between physical systems. In Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, it is natural to generalize Lagrangian relations to distributional half-densities, as advocated by Ševera. We give a rigorous definition of linear distributional half-densities and describe their composition, thus…
