Super-Teichmueller Theory

Mathematical Physics Seminar

Speaker: Anton Zeitlin, Louisiana State University
Location: 2112 MSB
Start time: Fri, Apr 6 2018, 12:10PM

I will talk about the Penner-like coordinates on higher super-Teichmueller spaces relevant for superstring theory. Important ingredients to be discussed: a combinatorial approach to spin structures on Riemann surfaces, the generalizations of Ptolemy transformations and Weil-Petersson 2-form.

Based on joint work with Ivan Ip and Robert Penner.
