Geometria

"A Brief History of Geometry” is a overview of the main historical steps of Geometry, from Euclid to Perelman, via Descartes, Gauss, Riemann, Ricci, Poincaré and Einstein… This conference was given by Jean-Pierre Bourguignon (IHES, France) at the Academy of Sciences of Lisbon the November 2nd, 2017, at the invitation of the Centro de Matemática, Aplicações Fundamentais e Investigação Operacional da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal.

Through works by renowned architects such as Antoni Gaudí, Felix Candela and Oscar Niemeyer, this film intends to show the natural way in which the formulas, the geometry of forms and their concretization are intertwined.

Através de obras de arquitetos de renome como  Antoni Gaudí, Felix Candela e Oscar Niemeyer, este filme pretende evidenciar a forma natural como se entrelaçam as fórmulas, a geometria das formas e a sua concretização.

Mirror symmetry for Nahm branes

Por Emílio Franco (Universidade do Porto).

Abstract: Using the Dirac–Higgs bundle, we consider a new class of space-filling (BBB)-branes on moduli spaces of Higgs bundles, given by a generalized Nahm transform of a stable Higgs bundle. We then use the Fourier–Mukai–Nahm transform to describe its dual brane, which is checked to be a (BAA)-brane supported on a complex Lagrangian multisection of the Hitchin fibration.
