  • EDGE Seminar: Tudor Pădurariu (Bonn) - Duality of Higgs bundles via BPS invariants

    February 25, 2026  10:50 am - 11:50 am
    Bayes 5.46

    I will talk about conjectural dualities for the moduli of Higgs bundles on
    a smooth projective complex curve associated with dual reductive groups.
    These dualities are formulated using BPS cohomology and quasi-BPS
    categories, which refine the BPS invariants that are of interest in
    enumerative geometry. The talk is based on joint work with Chenjing Bu,…

  • Category Theory Seminar: Karel Devriendt (Oxford) - The geometry of magnitude for finite metric spaces

    February 25, 2026  12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
    Bayes 5.46

    The magnitude of a metric space is a real-valued invariant that counts the "effective number of points" in the space. In this talk, I will describe a relation between the magnitude of a (nice enough) metric space and an invariant from Euclidean geometry: to each space X, one can associate a simplex S such that the magnitude of X is a simple transformation of the circumradius of S. Furthermore, this relation extends to all subspaces X' of X and corresponding faces S' of S, and is uniquely defined by this property. As one application, I will discuss how this geometric perspective identifies a new regime in the asymptotic behaviour of metric spaces when rescaling the metric. Finally, if time permits, I will say a few words on connections to graph theory and potential theory; some keywords which may or may not be covered are: Laplacians, discrete curvature, capacity, second moment.
