This is the homepage for the UT Geometry and String Theory Seminar.

Fall Spring 2008 2009 Schedule

This semester, we will cover several a topics: motely collection of topics with no obvios relation between them.

  1. Superconformal Boundary Conditions for N=4 Super Yang-Mills, and the connections with 3D Mirror Symmetry
  2. Kontsevich-Soibelman, Donaldson-Thomas Theory and Wall-Crossing Formulæ for N=2 Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
  3. Developments in Rozansky-Witten Theory
