High Energy Theory Seminar

I will present the concept of a “BPS graph” (a special kind of spectral network) and illustrate its usefulness in the study of theories of class S. BPS graphs encode BPS quivers, even for higher rank and in the presence of non-full punctures, and...

I will discuss kinematic space--the space of pairs of points in a CFT. Basic objects living in kinematic space are OPE blocks--contributions to the OPE from a single conformal family. In holographic theories, OPE blocks are dual at leading order in...

I'll describe the cluster partition function (CPF), a computational tool that uses elements from cluster algebra and representation theory to describe the partition function of Chern-Simons theory with gauge group SL(N,C), on knot complements. I'll...
