Mathematical Physics Seminar

    Jagiellonian University, Cracow





    This is a new seminar targetted at both mathematicians and theoretical physicists in Cracow.
    Topics to be addressed: gauge theories, moduli spaces, Kähler geometry, topological solitons,
    dynamics in field theories, integrable systems, quantisation.

    Regular meetings: Mondays 16:00-17:00 (sine tempore) + time for discussion
    Room: 0089 (bottom right on this map), Institute of Mathematics, Ruczaj campus

    (Occasionally, meetings will be held on Thursdays 15:15-16:15 whenever it is impossible
    to host a seminar on Monday of the corresponding week.)

    To be included in the mailing list of the seminar, please email Nuno Romão.
