THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 12th of March 2015, at 10:15 a.m.

Jerzy Lewandowski (IFT WFUW)

will give a talk on

"Connections and parallel transports"

Abstract
The mathematical tools of Loop Quantum Gravity will be presented. The main one is the space of the parallel transports. It admits a natural compact topology, measures and geometric structures. They give rise to Hilbert spaces and operators. Generalized spin-networks are used for orthogonal decompositions. Operators represent quantum geometry. The diffeomorphism invariance plays important role. There are unsolved mathematical problems.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
