At the organizational meeting we will flesh out the details of our plans for the semester. Below are some suggestions to get us started. There is a mailing list. To subscribe, send an email to \href{mailto:sympa@utlists.utexas.edu}{sympa@utlists.utexas.edu} with subject ``''. At least for the Fall, the seminar will take place \href{https://utexas.zoom.us/j/99415038034}{online}. \hypertarget{fall_2020_schedule}{}\subsection*{{Fall 2020 Schedule}}\label{fall_2020_schedule} \begin{tabular}{r|l|l} Date&Speaker&Topic\\ \hline 8/26&&Organizational Meeting\\ 9/2&Andreas Karch&QFT and fractons\\ 9/9&Ryan Spieler&Exotic Symmetries, Duality, and Fractons in 2+1-Dimensional Quantum Field Theory\\ 9/16&Amir Raz&Reduced conformal symmetry\\ 9/23&Shehper&[[ShehperFractons.pdf\\ 9/30&Shehper&Even More on Fractons\\ 10/7&Sebastian Schulz&[[SchulzMirzakhani.pdf\\ 10/14&Ricky Wedeen&Mirzakhani and Weil-Petersson volumes II\\ 10/21&Lewis Bowen&[[Bowen.pdf\\ 10/28&Charlie Reid&Mirzakhani and Weil-Petersson volumes IV\\ 11/4&Yale Fan&[[FanJT.pdf\\ 11/11&Jacques Distler&Weil-Petersson volumes of supermoduli space\\ 11/18&Jason Pollack&Replica Wormholes\\ 12/2&&\\ \end{tabular} \hypertarget{spring_2021_schedule}{}\subsection*{{Spring 2021 Schedule}}\label{spring_2021_schedule} \begin{tabular}{r|l|l} Date&Speaker&Topic\\ \hline 1/20&&Organizational Meeting\\ 1/27&Andreas Karch&Introduction to the Swampland\\ 2/3&Dan Freed&Introduction to Kontsevich-Segal\\ 2/10&Jacques Distler&Topology-change in Quantum Gravity and McNamara-Vafa\\ 2/17&Arun Debray&Variants of Cobordism theories and McNamara-Vafa\\ 2/24&Shehper&Wightman framework of QFT\\ 3/3&Charlie Reid&Allowable complex metrics\\ 3/10&Haoyu Sun&Shilov boundaries in representation theory\\ 3/24&Will \& Sebastian&Axioms for QFT and nuclear spaces\\ 3/31&Will \& Sebastian&Axioms for QFT and nuclear spaces\\ 4/7&Ricky Wedeen&Globally hyperbolic manifolds and Wick rotation\\ 4/14&&\\ 4/21&&\\ 4/28&Yale Fan&\\ 5/5&Qianyu Hao&Painleve equations and 4d N=2 gauge theory\\ \end{tabular} \hypertarget{references}{}\subsection*{{References}}\label{references} \hypertarget{fractons}{}\subsubsection*{{Fractons}}\label{fractons} \begin{itemize}% \item R.
