High Energy Theory Seminar: Exploring the space of (Super)Conformal Field Theories.

Mario Martone (Stony Brook University)
-

N=2 Superconformal Field Theories in four dimensions, represent an arena never ceasing to provide new and exciting results. I will start with an introduction motivating my study and introducing the basics of the rich mathematics underpinning the moduli space of vacua of these theories, the geometric object at the center stage of my study. I will then explain the very recent understanding of the stratification of such spaces and conclude outlining the program which will likely lead to a complete classification of rank-2 N=2 Superconformal Field Theories in the very near future.
