I’ve recently run across various interesting mathematically oriented sites, each with some connection to physics:<\/p>\n
Alain Connes now has a web-site<\/A>. He’s now a professor at Vanderbilt University as well as at the College de France. I can see him in Robert Altman’s movie “Nashville”. His site contains quite a few interesting things, including most of his research articles and some interesting survey articles about his work on non-commutative geometry. For instance, take a look at his “A View of Mathematics”<\/A>, which starts off with a wonderful description of doing mathematical research and some interesting history of geometry, before surveying his recent work relating non-commutative geometry and physics.<\/p>\n David Ben-Zvi<\/A> at Austin is organizing a new lecture series to be made available over the web called GRASP<\/A> (for Geometry, Representations and Some Physics), which sounds promising although it is just getting started.<\/p>\n The MIT math department sponsors something called the Talbot workshops<\/A>. Last year the topic was elliptic cohomology, this year geometric Langlands<\/A>. Notes from the lectures<\/A> are available courtesy of Megumi Harada<\/A> who also maintains a useful website of geometry conferences<\/A>, many of which have some sort of physics component.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve recently run across various interesting mathematically oriented sites, each with some connection to physics: Alain Connes now has a web-site.
