Algebra Seminar: Weekes -- An introduction to Coulomb branches

Alex Weekes (Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics) 

Wednesday 22 February, 12-1pm, Place: Carslaw 375 

Title: An introduction to Coulomb branches.  

This is a follow-up talk of the talks on 17 and 20 February.

Abstract: 

In follow-up talks I will delve more deeply into the construction of the algebras, as
well as their representation theory.  I will also discuss a particularly interesting
cases of Coulomb branches, corresponding to "quiver gauge theories", where the Coulomb
branch is a (generalized) slice in the affine Grassmannian of an algebraic group of ADE
type.
