Geometry and Physics

Friday: 16:00 - 17:30 h, room A02, MPI MiS

first class: March 31, 2006

In this course, I shall discuss key areas of Quantum Field Theory to explore the interaction between geometry, analysis, and theoretical physics. The starting point will be Conformal Field Theory and its relationship with Riemann surface theory as well as some supersymmetric extensions.

Mathematical methods in biology and neurobiology

Thursday: 08:15 - 09:45 h, room A02, MPI MiS

first class: April 6, 2006

We discuss pattern and structure formation with the tools of dynamical systems, partial differential equations and stochastic processes.
