Algebraic Topology is a classical branch of mathematics. Its origins are combinatorial, based on triangulations of topological spaces. In the later developments major algebraization of the subject has taken place, leading to the introduction of many algebraic invariants as we know them today.

​The Mini Course will be taught by Dmitry Feichtner-Kozlov, PI of the Applied Topology Unit. His unit is interested both in developing the formal theory, as well as in applying it outside of the field, for example to Theoretical Distributed Computing.

Title : BMS Symmetry and OPE of Celestial CFTs

Speaker: Sudip Ghosh

Abstract: The holographic dual of quantum gravitational theories in asymptotically flat spacetimes has recently been conjectured to be the so called celestial conformal field theories whose correlation functions are Mellin transforms of bulk scattering amplitudes. In this talk I will discuss aspects of a derivation of the OPE in these CFTs from the collinear singularities of graviton scattering amplitudes and the constraints of BMS symmetries on the OPE coefficients.
