Abstract: TBA.
Abstract: During this lecture I will introduce a general theory of quantum games and how such values of games can be calculated by looking at operator space norms of particular tensors associated to the game. In this line of thought one can then prove some interesting results concerning the Grothendieck programme.
Abstract: The orthogonal/unitary calculus of Weiss is a framework of studying functors from vector spaces to topological spaces. Each such functor has an associated Taylor tower — a tower of fibrations whose layers are infinite loop spaces. When applied to the functor BO(-) or BU(-), Weiss calculus provides a "custom-made" resolution for the classifying spaces, allowing for the program of enumerating unstable vector bundles with stable calculations. In this talk, we present old and new enumeration results along this program and discuss, if time allows, the equivariant version of the story. This talk contains joint work with Hood Chatham and Morgan Opie, and work in progress with Prasit Bhattacharya.
