This is the homepage for the UT Geometry and Quantum Field Theory Seminar. At the organizational meeting we will flesh out the details of our plans for the semester. Below are some suggestions to get ...

Most representations are not permutation representations, since every permutation representation has a vector fixed by all elements of G G, namely the vector that’s the sum of all elements of X X. In ...

Abstract: For several years I ran a blog called Visual Insight, which was a place to share striking images that help explain topics in mathematics. In this talk I’d like to show you some of those ...
