Spin geometry plays an interconnecting role in mathematics and physics, owing to the abundance of algebraic and analytical structures on them (like the Dirac operator, for example). It is of significant importance in physics as it serves as a central object in Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and is utilised in Witten's proof of the positive mass theorem. Mathematically, spin geometries provide examples of manifolds that admit no positive scalar curvature.
This seminar will survey selected topics in spin geometry based on the interests of participants.
Our first organisational meeting will be on Thursday, 14/03/2024, at 12:00 pm on Level 3 of the main building "Hochhaus," Einsteinstraße 62. We will discuss possible topics and allocate talks during that meeting. If you are interested in attending, giving a talk, or if you have any questions, please direct your inquiries to the following email:
