Care colleghe e colleghi, Vi puo' forse interessare questo seminario che si terra' giovedi' prossimo. Cordiali saluti, Enrico Scalas -- Dear all, This Thursday we kick off our Mathematical Physics seminar series for the new academic year with a talk by Antoine Dahlqvist (Sussex) on Large N limits of Wilson loops in gauge theories Abstract: Gauge theories are a type of field theory introduced and studied from the 70’s by physicists as a theoretical model describing the fundamental interactions between elementary particles. It quickly appeared to be a place where geometry and physics met and influenced each others. In this talk, I shall discuss some questions closer to probability and random matrix theory, inspired by the so-called large N limit regime of Euclidean field theories. I will present some old and new theorems about the Yang-Mills measure for two dimensional space-time geometries. The seminars are fortnightly on Thursdays 12:00 - 13:00 in 5C11 and can also be followed on Zoom https://universityofsussex.zoom.us/j/98075042563?pwd=VTBxSHVMVUl2Y0piblp4Y01... Passcode: 938719 The seminars are open for everyone with an interest in topics on the intersection of Mathematics and Physics The schedule for the seminars this term can be found at https://www.maths.sussex.ac.uk/seminars/mathphys.html To receive further announcements for our seminar series, please sign up to the mailing list 'mathphy_seminar' following the guidance at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/distribution-groups-e8ba58a8-fab2... Best wishes, Antoine, Michael, Xavier and Folkert
