Geometry and Quantum Theory (GQT seminar).

Time : 4/29 at 4:15–6:15 pm, Science Center (1 Oxford St), 507

Speaker: Anadil Saeed Rao and Vasily Krylov.

Title: Algebraic approach to the bow construction.

Abstract: Anadil will finish his part of the talk. Vasily will then explain how to understand moduli spaces of instantons on R^4, monopoles on R^3, and instantons on Taub-NUT spaces algebraically as so-called bow varieties. We will see how affine type A Nakajima quiver varieties and Slodowy slices arise as special cases of bow varieties. Time permitting, we will also discuss applications to 3D mirror symmetry and Coulomb branches.
