Regular Seminar Matthew au:Buican'><span class='hl'>Matthew</span> Buican (Queen Mary University of London)

 at: 13:15 KCLroom G01 Norfolk Building abstract: In the first part of the talk, I will revisit the question of how to decide whether two 4D N=2 superconformal field theories describe the same physics. Time permitting, I will discuss related questions regarding the classification of 2D rational conformal field theories.

Informal Seminar Matthew au:Buican'><span class='hl'>Matthew</span> Buican (QMUL)

 at: 10:30 QMWroom GOJ 610 abstract: Lecture 3: "Toward a Synthesis of Chiral Rings and Chiral Algebras." I will aim to discuss some recent work that seeks to relate the objects introduced in the first two lectures. Given enough time, we may also discuss generalizations of these ideas.

Informal Seminar Matthew au:Buican'><span class='hl'>Matthew</span> Buican (QMUL)

 at: 10:30 QMWroom GOJ 610 abstract: Lecture 2: "Chiral Algebras and Higher-Dimensional Theories." I will review briefly review the construction of chiral algebras and then focus on their relationship with a particular sub-sector of operators in higher-dimensional theories. I will again focus mostly on 4D N=2 theories.

Informal Seminar Matthew au:Buican'><span class='hl'>Matthew</span> Buican (QMUL)

 at: 10:30 QMWroom GOJ 610 abstract: Lecture 1: "Chiral Rings, Moduli Spaces, and Conformal Manifolds." In this lecture I will review basic aspects of chiral operators, with a special focus on 4D theories with 8 Poincare supercharges (i.e., N=2 SUSY). Using these operators, I will discuss basic aspects of moduli spaces and conformal manifolds.
