This is the homepage for the UT Geometry and String Theory Seminar. At the organizational meeting we will flesh out the details of our plans for the semester. Below are some suggestions to get us started. ##Spring 2014 Schedule## {:r: scope="row"} Date|Speaker|Topic| ---:|:------|:---- {:r}1/15 | Harold Williams | Bruhat cells and super Yang-Mills {:r}1/22 | The Organizers | Organizational Meeting {:r}1/29 | --- | No talk {:r}2/5 | Pavel Safronov | Costello on N=1 supersymmetry {:r}2/12 | Andy Trimm | Tachikawa on S-duality in five dimensions {:r}2/19 | Dan Freed | AST/FT on extended operators {:r}2/26 | Tudor Dimofte | TBA {:r}3/5 | David Ben-Zvi | TFT structures in N=2 theories {:r}3/12 | --- | No talk (spring break) {:r}3/19 | Andy Neitzke | Kapustin-Seiberg on coupling TFT to physical theories {:r}3/26 | Yu-Shen Lin | TBA {: class="plaintable" style="text-align:center;" summary="Spring Schedule"} ###References### ####Super Yang-Mills in 5 dimensions #### * Y.
