The 2018 Eisenbud Lectures in Mathematics and Physics will be held from November 13-15 at Brandeis University. This years speaker is Spencer Bloch, Professor of Mathematics at the Yau Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University, and Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Chicago.
Professor Bloch is a mathematician whose work has influenced many subjects including number theory, algebraic geometry and mathematical physics. The following lectures will be informative and entertaining:
- Tuesday, November 13 at 4pm: “Multiple Zeta Values and Mixed Tate Motives over ℤ” (intended for a general audience) Location: Abelson 131.
- Wednesday, November 14 at 4pm: “Motivic Γ-functions” (colloquium style lecture). Location: Brown 316.
- Thursday, November 15 at 4pm, “Relative Completions,” Location: Goldsmith 317.
Refreshments will be served 15 minutes before each talk. There will be a reception in Abelson 333 following Tuesday’s talk.
The Eisenbud Lectures are the result of a generous donation by Leonard and Ruth-Jean Eisenbud intended for a yearly set of lectures by an eminent physicist or mathematician working close to the interface of the two subjects.
