Phys10 Undergraduate Seminar Series - on Teams
Pedro Vieira
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
Most theories are too complicated and we can not solve them. Usually we use perturbation theory instead (or cry). We can do better sometimes for so-called integrable theories. I will describe what these are and how they show up in real materials and even in string and quantum field theories.
This talk is geared toward an upper year audience; as always, everyone is welcome to attend.
The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
