Title of Seminar: Infosys Chandrasekharan Random Geometry Colloquium
Title of Talk: Bose Fermi duality in matter Chern Simons theories
Speaker: Shiraz Minwalla, TIFR Mumbai
Date: April 5, 2021
Time: 17:00:00 Hours
Venue: AG-77
Abstract: In four and higher spacetime dimensions Bosons and Fermions are irreducibly different. This difference blurs out in three spacetime dimensions. This blurring allows a nontrivial phenomenon. There is now substantial evidence that Bosons coupled to Chern Simons theories are dual to Fermions coupled to (level rank dual) Chern Simons theories. I will review what is understood - and what is not - about these dualities.
