Colloquium: "Basics of differential geometry and General Relativity" by Mr. Ryusei Maeda
2020-02-07Speaker: Mr. Ryusei Maeda is a 3rd year undergratuate student at University of Tokyo and is currently visiting OIST as a research intern.
Minicurse: Morse Theory
2020-02-06Speaker: Prof. Andrew Lobb
Morse theory is a branch of mathematics with which we can infer topological information of manifolds. In this series of lectures we will explore its formulation and how it encodes topology.
Colloquium: "General homology theory" by Dr. Guilherme Sadovski

Coloquium: "Functional methods in QFT and renormalization, part IV" by Dr. Riccardo Martini
2020-01-30In this seminar we introduce the regulator functional that is at the core of the Functional renormalization group and discuss its properties.

Coloquium: "Functional methods in QFT and renormalization, part III" by Dr. Riccardo Martini
2019-12-20Speaker: Dr. Martini is a member of this unit (check his page)
In this seminar we introduce the concept of renormalization and effective field theories and give a qualitative description of how physics changes at different scales.
