Title : Batalin-Vilkoviski formalism and applications.

Abstract : I am going to rewiev the Batalin-Vilkoviski (BV) formalinsm and discuaa some applications of it. The releveant papers are: classical paper on BV by A. Schwarz "Geometry of Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization" and the paper by Gorodentsev, Krotov and Losev "Quantum Field Theory as Effective BV Theory from Chern-Simons" .

Title : Knots, the Jones Polynomial, and Khovanov homology.

Abstract : I shall give constructions of the Jones polynomial and of Khovanov homology. These are both invariants of knots -- the former is a polynomial, the latter is a vector space. They are interesting for many reasons and their construction is beautiful. There are deep connections with physics on which I'm not really qualified to comment (apologies), but those able may try looking at Kauffman's book "Knots and Physics", Witten's "Quantum Field Theory and the Jones Polynomial" , or Gukov-Schwarz-Vafa's "Khovanov-Rozansky homology and topological strings" . No knowledge of anything is assumed, and questions are encouraged.

Mirian Tsulaila will tell us about "Basics of Covariant Quantization of Superstring ". The useful references are ICTP Lectures on Covariant Quantization of the Superstring and Multiloop Amplitudes and Vanishing Theorems using the Pure Spinor Formalism for the Superstrin The Green-Schwarz formulation of superstring is described in the String theory book by M. Green, J. Schwarz and E. Witten (chapter 5).

Abstract : We give a brief introduction to a covariant quantization of superstrings, using a pure spinor formalism. We shall also try to discuss some applications such as tree and loop (hopefully) diagrams.

【Seminar】Molecular Analysis of NFAT/ICER Repressor Complexes and their Role in nTreg-cell mediated Suppression by Dr. Josef Bodor @ C015, 11:00-12:00

In this talk Mirian Tsulaia will continue with his review of Higher Spin Theories.

Abstract: This a continuation of the previous talk in this series. Today we shall discuss Vasiliev's formalism and in particular talk about free unfolded equations.
