Higher-power Harmonic Maps and Field Theory
The geometry of conifold transitions
The geometry of conifold transitions, Benjamin Friedman
Conifold transitions are a process wherein one Calabi–Yau threefold is deformed into another, passing through a singular
intermediate space known as a "conifold". We will discuss metrics that geometrize conifold transitions, and show that with these metrics, the process is continuous in the Gromov–Hausdorff topology.
Higher-power Harmonic Maps and Field Theory, Henrik Naujoks
We will discuss a generalization of Harmonic Maps introduced by C. Wood in 2023. After elaborating some basic facts we will talk about its application as a physical field theory. This applications will show striking similarities with Yang-Mills theory.
