Public Lectures on "Gauge Theory, Topology, and Physics"

bio

Tasuki Kinjo is an assistant professor of pure mathematics at RIMS, Kyoto University. He was born to parents from Okinawa and spent several years of his childhood there. He began his research career in Donaldson–Thomas theory. After concluding that Calabi–Yau threefolds (six-dimensional as real manifolds!) were perhaps too difficult for humans, he turned to applications of derived geometry to gauge theory on real three-manifolds.

Tadashi Tokieda is a professor at Stanford.  He grew up as a painter in Japan, became a classical philologist (not to be confused with philosopher) in France, worked a little as a plumber, earned a PhD in pure mathematics at Princeton, and has since been doing applied mathematics around the world.  He is also active in outreach, especially via the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the YouTube channel Numberphile.  At the quadrennial International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) T^2 spoke in 2018, 2022, 2026.
