Mini-course by Paul Wiegmann, October 2018
Professor Paul Wiegmann (University of Chicago)
will deliver a series of lectures titled
“Geometric aspects of quantum Hall effect and quantum hydrodynamics”
Starting Monday October 8, 2018
Abstract
Recent new developments in the theory of quantum Hall effect point to deep relations to the problem of quantization of hydrodynamics. Both problems have common geometric properties and could be studied on a unifying platform. In the series of talks I will review recent advances in some of these fields emphasizing the common geometric aspects.
Among the subjects are
- geometric transport (adiabatic transport in moduli space);
- odd viscosity and anomalous stress;
- analytical and gravitational anomaly and related physical effects.
Talks will be accessible to graduate students specialized in theoretical physics
