Creating a conclusion to a presentation - Feb 19th

Giving spontaneous one-minute talks - Feb 26th

Space is limited to 9 people.

Join this public webinar to hear from Prof. Keshav Dani (Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit) about his recent research on the dark exciton. This first visualization of dark exciton has the potential to revolutionize opto-electronic technology in two-dimensional semiconductors from quantum computing to LEDs.

Title: Matrix Models and Topological Recursion II

Abstract: Continued from the previous lecture, we will study how the topological recursion was discovered in the study of Hermitian matrix models. More concretely, starting with the spectral curve of a 1-cut Hermitian matrix model, I will present a computational technique that recursively solves loop equations. If time permits, I will make the recursive technique more abstract, and "define" the topological recursion.

Speaker: Prof. Limin Tong College of Optical Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, China

Title: Matrix Models and Topological Recursion

Abstract: Hermitian matrix models are simplest quantum gauge field theory, namely quantum gauge theory in zero dimensions, and their correlation functions can be computed by a mathematical framework, the so-called topological recursion. In this review talk, I first present properties of Hermitian matrix models such as the 1/N-expansion, Virasoro constraints, loop equations, and the associated spectral curve. I will then give a technical overview of how we can recursively solve the loop equations of Hermitian matrix models by utilising the geometry of the spectral curve. Collecting the key geometric features, I will define the topological recursion with great generalities which makes it possible to apply the topological recursion beyond Hermitian matrix models.
