  • After talks on Thursday and Friday Aug. 27-28, we will have a break between August 28 and September 17, when this seminar will be continuing through the UC Berkeley math department (all institutions are welcome!)

  • We will be reading a graduate text on QFT. We are planning to have weekly talk with math-friendly exposition of the book's material, and sporadic "supplementary" guest speakers.

  • Our first meeting in September will be Sept. 17 at 10am PST.
