String Seminar:
Tuesdays at 3:40pm on campus

We describe an unexpected application of geometry of the space of gauge fields in two dimensional Yang-Mills theory, the subject of celebrated works of Narasimhan-Seshadri and Atiyah-Bott, to the active domain of research in condensed matter physics: the search for high-Tc superconductivity in exotic materials. Specifically, we shall clarify the meaning of the phenomenon of “magic angles” in the physics … Read More
