This lecture offers a rational approach to persuasion that should prove useful both at work and at home!

The next RUT Networking lunch is coming up, Thursday the 30th May, 12PM in C210 . Japanese translation will also be provided.

The theme is Changing Fields/Labs and Promotions.

In addition, we have been asked by the DFA to get current technicians' opinion on the evaluation system for Technicians, so we will be leading a short discussion after the talks.

Joint Math and Theoretical physics seminar on Chern-Simons theory, Knot invariants and Volume conjecture. Vyacheslav Lysov will be leading the discussion.

Abstract: It is known that there exist many "non-smoothable 4-manifolds", that is, topological 4-manifolds which do not admit smooth manifold structures. Gauge theory provides a strong tool to detect such interesting topological 4-manifolds. In this talk, I will explain a family version of this story. Namely, I will show that a family version of gauge theory may detect "non-smoothable 4-manifold bundles", which is a fiber bundle whose structure group is the homeomorphism group of a 4-manifold, but we cannot reduce the structure group into the diffeomorphism group. This is joint work with David Baraglia and with Tsuyoshi Kato and Nobuhiro Nakamura.
