Schedule for: 23w5073 - Women in Mathematical Physics II

A buffet dinner is served daily between 5:30pm and 7:30pm in Vistas Dining Room, top floor of the Sally Borden Building.

Title: "Mathematical reflections on locality". Abstract: "Starting from the principle of locality in quantum field theory, which states that an object is influenced directly only by its immediate surroundings, I shall first briefly review some features of the notion of locality arising in physics and mathematics. These are then encoded in locality relations, given by symmetric binary relations whose graph consists of pairs of "mutually independent elements". Locality morphisms, namely maps that factorise on products of such pairs of elements, play a key role in the context of renormalisation in multiple variables. They include "locality evaluators", which are used to consistently evaluate meromorphic germs in several variables at their poles. If time allows, I will report on recent joint work with Li Guo and Bin Zhang which gives a classification of locality evaluators on certain classes of algebras of meromorphic germs. It uses previous joint work with these two authors and Pierre Clavier." Title: "The short story of a growing touring exhibition". Abstract: "The story begins more than 10 years ago, when I was asked to deliver a talk on women in mathematics in Konstanz and decided to present 10 women of mathematics I had met around the world, thereby adopting a subjective point of view on the world of mathematics. After that, subjectivity became an essential feature of our touring exhibition, with portraits of women of mathematics made by the photographer Noel Matoff and interviews I carried out with the portrayed women."

Breakfast is served daily between 7 and 9am in the Vistas Dining Room, the top floor of the Sally Borden Building.

Title: "Finding your Ikigai in Academia". Abstract: "The Japanese concept of Ikigai refers to a driving force giving purpose or meaning to your life. Applied to Academia, your Ikigai is the sweet spot where your work interests, your talents and your principles meet to make the best version of your professional self in balance with your private self. Navigating Academia can be hard, and your goals and principles can change under the system's pressure. Have you ever asked yourself if you fit, if you can find a place for yourself in academia? In this talk we will discuss what we can do to make a place for ourselves that respects our identity and our principles and I will share my personal experience building that place, as a researcher, teacher, science communicator, illustrator, and a person with family life too. Spoiler alert: it is a constant work in progress!"
