The next "Beijing-Novosibirsk seminar on geometry and mathematical physics" will take place on November 12

Mathematical center in Akademgorodok invites you to take part in the seminar on November 12 at 4 pm Novosibirsk time (UTC+7). 
The seminar's heads: A. E. Mironov, I. A. Taimanov, Huijun Fan, Eugene Zhang.

During the seminar, Vincent Bouchard (University of Alberta, Саnada) will present his talk "Higher, Super, and Quantum".

Kontsevich and Soibelman recently introduced the concept of quantum Airy structures, which may be understood as generalizations of Virasoro constraints in enumerative geometry. In this talk I will present two broad generalizations, namely higher and super quantum Airy structures. I will explain how many examples of these structures can be constructed as modules of vertex operator algebras, in particular W-algebras. I will comment (and speculate) on the enumerative interpretation of these new constructions in terms of intersection numbers on various moduli spaces. If time permits, I may also briefly explain how these higher and super quantum Airy structures further expand the definition of the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion.

To take part, please, on November 12 after 3:45 pm Novosibirsk time (UTC+7) connect to the Zoom conference via this link: .
