Joint Colloquium IFT + ICMAT: ‘Geometry of gauge theories in two dimensions’
December 12 | 09:30 - 14:00
Joint ICMAT-IFT Colloquium
Speaker: Oscar García-Prada (ICMAT-CSIC)
Date: Friday, 12 December 2025 – 12:00
Place: Aula Azul, ICMAT
Abstract:
I will describe several geometric aspects of different gauge theories on Riemann surfaces that originate in four-dimensional Yang–Mills theories. A common theme is the appearance of various types of Higgs fields. I will provide some basic mathematical and historical background.
