IAS/ School of Science Joint Lecture - Drag on a Penetrable Disk in a Superfluid
Abstract
The motion of a body through a superfluid can generate phenomena distinct from a normal viscous fluid. This includes the absence of drag below a critical body speed with the shedding of quantized vortices and non-zero drag above this speed. In this talk, the speaker will investigate…
MATH - Seminar on Pure Mathematics - Birational invariance of BCOV invariants
As a candidate of the B-model mirror of genus one Gromov-Witten invariants, the so-called Bershadsky-Cecotti-Ooguri-Vafa (BCOV) invariant is a real-valued invariant of Calabi-Yau manifolds defined using analytic methods.
