Symmetry Breaking

Thursday, December 12

                                            Abstract: I will describe the gauge symmetry breaking  that is observed  in
                                            superconductors and  has an analog in four-manifold  theory, and the gauge
                                            symmetry  breaking  in  elementary  particle  physics  that physicists are still
                                            aiming to understand more fully.
