Quasi-Local Mass in General Relativity May 13, 2011

Show notes

Abstract: In this talk, I shall discuss a concept of mass, based on the theory of general relativity, for some compact region in spacetime that is due to M.T. Wang and myself. There are important properties of this mass that we shall discuss in this talk. There are interesting geometry and analysis behind the theory.

The Shape of Spacetime May 13, 2011

Show notes

Abstract: In this talk, I shall go over the history of the geometry of spacetime according to general relativity and string theory.

Introduction to toric geometry 14 Apr 29, 2011

Show notes

Abstract: I will give a pedagogical introduction to toric geometry without requiring previous knowledge in algebraic geometry. The lecture series will be based on the toric geometry package in the open-source Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) mathematics software system. Various examples relevant to string theory are used to illustrate the techniques. Each lecture will contain exercises to be solved in the accompanying computer lab.
