Speaker: Johan Martens
Affiliation: University of Edinburgh
Title: Implosion, Contraction, and Moore-Tachikawa categories
Date and Time: December 12, 2023, 11:00:00 Hours
Venue: AG-77
Asbtract: This is a report on ongoing joint work with Frances Kirwan and Andrew Dancer. I will discuss the symplectic implosion and contraction operations in equivariant geometry, their analogues in hyperkaehler geometry, and how they can be interpreted in terms of Moore-Tachikawa categories.
