Topological Holography
Wednesday, April 11th, 2-3pm, Carslaw 275.
An important part of modern theoretical physics is the study of
"M-theory" or string theory. In its current form this is a theory of
higher dimensional surfaces called branes.
Mathematical applications of branes to topology will be reviewed, and
in particular the possibility of holographical relations between
topological invariants in low dimensions will be discussed.
