Title: Wall crossing for moduli of stable pairs.Abstract: Hassett showed that there are natural reduction morphisms between moduli spaces of weighted pointed stable curves when we reduce weights. I will discuss some joint work with Ziquan Zhuang which constructs similar morphisms between moduli of stable pairs in higher dimension.

Title: Monoidal complete Segal spaces. Abstract: Viewing a monoid as a category with a single object allows us to encode the binary operation using the properties of composition and associativity inherent in any category. In this talk, we use this idea to explore the relationship between (∞,1)-categories with a monoidal structure and (∞,2)-categories with one […]

Title: Automorphic Representations and Quantum Logic Gates Abstract: Any construction of a quantum computer requires finding a good set of universal quantum logic gates: abstractly, a finite set of matrices in U(2^n) such that short products of them can efficiently approximate arbitrary unitary transformations. The 2-qubit case n=2 is of particular practical interest. I will […]
