Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, equivariant Chern-Simons functional and Hodge theory for matrix integrals


I'll give an introduction to Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and will explain its application showing that the extended Chern-Simons functional represents equivariantly closed infinite dimensional differential form. The localization of these equivariant differential forms in finite dimensional setting gives formulas representing matrix integrals of Airy type as tau-functions. If the time permits I'll also sketch the application leading to the analogue of Hodge theory fot matrix integrals.

Cartan's 5 variables centennial


In 1910 Elie Cartan completely described the geometry of rank 2 distributions in 5 dimensional spaces and discussed integrability for a pair of overdetermined PDEs with one common characteristic. Exceptional Lie group G_2 was first realized in this paper. In the talk I will discuss what is the counterpart of Cartan's story for rank 2 distributions in general, relate this to the geometry of Monge equations and construct the symmetric models. The talk is based on the joint work with Ian Anderson
