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_2021_schedule}{}\subsection*{{Fall 2021 Schedule}}\label{fall_2021_schedule} \begin{tabular}{r|l|l} Date&Speaker&Topic\\ \hline 8/25&&Organizational Meeting\\ 9/1&David Ben Zvi&Koszul Duality\\ 9/8&David Ben Zvi&Costello-Paquette\\ 9/15&Charlie Reid&Costello-Paquette\\ 9/22&&\\ 9/29&&\\ 10/6&&\\ 10/13&&\\ 10/20&&\\ 10/27&&\\ 11/3&&\\ 11/10&&\\ 11/17&&\\ 12/1&&\\ \end{tabular} \hypertarget{spring_2022_schedule}{}\subsection*{{Spring 2022 Schedule}}\label{spring_2022_schedule} \begin{tabular}{r|l|l} Date&Speaker&Topic\\ \hline 1/19&&Organizational Meeting\\ 1/26&Will Stewart&Topological Defect Networks\\ 2/2&Ryan Spieler&Topological Defect Networks\\ 2/9&Ricky Wedeen&Entanglement in QFT\\ 2/16&Yale Fan&Entanglement in QFT\\ 2/23&Andreas Karch&Gravity and the Crossed Product\\ 3/2&Jacques Distler&von Neumann Algebras, Spin Systems and QFT I\\ 3/9&Jacques Distler&von Neumann Algebras, Spin Systems and QFT II\\ 3/23&Amir Raz&The algebra of local observables in QFTs\\ 3/30&&\\ 4/6&&\\ 4/13&&\\ 4/20&&\\ 4/27&&\\ 5/4&&\\ \end{tabular} \hypertarget{references}{}\subsection*{{References}}\label{references} \hypertarget{brane_quantization_and_analytic_geometric_langlands}{}\subsubsection*{{Brane Quantization and Analytic Geometric Langlands}}\label{brane_quantization_and_analytic_geometric_langlands} \begin{itemize}% \item S.
