Math 221b: Seiberg-Witten Theory and 4-manifolds, Spring 2002 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Room 209 Goldsmith The course will give an introduction to gauge theory, focussing on Seiberg-Witten theory and applications to the topology of 4-dimensional manifolds. The speed at which I will go through the material depends on various factors, most notably the background of the students attending. Here is a brief outline of what I hope to cover. Introduction to 4-manifolds. Basic invariants such as intersection form, characteristic classes. Survey of Freedman's results on topological classification. Discussion of basic problems of smooth classification. The Dirac operator. Clifford algebras, spin and spin^c structures, Weitzenbock formulas. Statement of index theorem in special cases. Seiberg-Witten equations. Group of automorphisms (gauge group) of the equations and construction of moduli space. Basic analytic results (slice theorem, simple estimates leading to compactness theorems). Seiberg-Witten invariants. Dimension of moduli space and orientations; perturbations and smoothness.

Sinai Recipient, 2002 Frederic Esser Nemmers Prize in Mathematics Yakov G. Sinai, professor of mathematics at Princeton University since 1993, is internationally regarded as a pioneer in the field of dynamical systems. His work has revolutionized the study of dynamical systems and influenced statistical mechanics, probability theory and statistical physics. Sinai's work deals with measuring dynamical systems, or systems that change over time, such as weather, the motion of planets and economic systems. These systems can be accurately measured in the short term (short term being relative to the issue at hand); but when analyzed in the long term, the systems are difficult to understand and predict. Sinai was the first to come up with a mathematical foundation for determining the number that defines the complexity of a given dynamical system. His mathematical system is called Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy.

High Energy Physics - Theory, abstract hep-th/9706109 Branes And The Dynamics Of QCD Author: Edward Witten Comments: 39 pp. Improved explanation of QCD string ending on domain wall; errors corrected and references added Journal-ref: Nucl.Phys. B507 (1997) 658-690 A brane configuration is described that is relevant to understanding the dynamics of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Confinement and spontaneous breaking of a discrete chiral symmetry can be understood as consequences of the topology of the brane. Because of the symmetry breaking, there can be domain walls separating different vacua; the QCD string can end on such a domain wall. The model in which these properties can be understood semiclassically does not coincide with supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory but is evidently in the same universality class.

The Official String Theory Web Site People Ed Witten on M theory, supersymmetry and appreciating calculus Ed Witten, who is currently visiting Caltech, is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey (the place where Einstein used to work.) Witten was not one of the creators of string theory, but since he joined "Team String" in the mid-eighties, he's been a leading visionary, pausing here and there to make revolutionary observations and discoveries in mathematics using observations gleaned from high energy theoretical physics. He recently spent two years at Caltech , a development that had East Coast string theorists fearing that the United States was tilting to the West. We interviewed him in John Schwarz's office at Caltech, which also happened to Richard Feynman's office when he was alive.

Strings:Witten Perspektiven der Stringtheorie Interview mit Edward Witten, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton (New Jersey) GW: In der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie gibt es mit der Äquivalenz von träger und schwerer Masse ein grundlegendes Prinzip. Liegt der Stringtheorie ein vergleichbares Konzept zugrunde? Witten: Das ist das größte Rätsel auf diesem Gebiet in den letzten dreißig Jahren. Im Unterschied zu allen anderen bisherigen Theorien in der Geschichte der Physik, bei denen die konzeptionelle Fundierung mehr oder weniger gleichzeitig mit der Entwicklung der Theorie erfolgte, wurde die Stringtheorie durch einen erstaunlichen historischen Zufall entdeckt, und in den zurückliegenden dreißig Jahren haben wir versucht, uns an die eigentlichen Grundlagen der Theorie heranzuarbeiten. Auf dem Weg dahin ist eine ganze Folge von verblüffenden Entwicklungen gelungen. GW: Die verschiedenen Varianten der Stringtheorie sind in der Regel zehndimensional. Es müssen deshalb sechs Dimensionen "aufgerollt" werden, um zur vierdimensionalen Raum-Zeit zu gelangen. Richard Feynman bemerkte, dass sich die Anzahl der einzurollenden Dimensionen nicht aus der Theorie heraus bestimmen läßt. Ist das inzwischen möglich? Witten: Wir ((die String-Theoretiker)) wissen heute noch nicht wie das vor sich geht, hoffen aber auf die zukünftige Entwicklung.
