Analysis and its Applications Seminar

Quantum Hall Effects, Berry's Phase and Superconductivity

When

Speaker

Abstract

This talk will provide some physical and mathematical motivations underlying the idea of topological phases of matter. Time permitting we will also introduce the Chern-Simons-Ginzburg-Landau mean field model for Quantum Hall effects which motivates what will be discussed in this week's Mathematical Physics seminar.
