[geometry-ml:03062] MS seminars at Kavli IPMU -- Fernando Villegas, Sergey Galkin, Kenji Iohara

[Todor Milanov]

Dear all,

I would like to announce the following  Mathematics and String theory seminars at Kavli IPMU 

1) Speaker:	Fernando Villegas	(ICTP Italy)
Date:	Tue, Aug 08, 2017, 13:15 - 14:45
Place:	Seminar Room A

Title:	Mixed Hodge structure of character varieties

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss the conjectures with Hausel and Letellier that describe the mixed Hodge structure of the character varieties parameterizing finite dimensional representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface. The formulation of these conjectures involve the Macdonald polynomials and arose from counting points of the varieties over finite fields.

2) Speaker: Sergey Galkin (HSE Moscow)
Date:	Tue, Aug 22, 2017, 15:30 - 17:00
Place:	Seminar Room B

Title:	Cubic fourfold, its variety of lines, and their gauged linear sigma models

Abstract: I will explain an instance of Hori-logical projective duality that relates two hyperkahler CY4 categories associated to a cubic form of six variables : Beauville-Donagi's fourfold and Ganter-Kapranov's symmetric square of Kuznetsov's component.

3) Speaker: Kenji Iohara (U of Lyon)
Date:	Tue, Aug 29, 2017, 13:15 - 14:45
Place:	Seminar Room A

Title:	Fusion structures on Temperley-Lieb algebras

Abstract: In this talk, I will present our recent result obtained with G. Lehrer et R. Zhang on the Fusion structure defined on Temperley-Lieb algebras.
