The Atoms of Symplectic Singularities from Supersymmetric QFT

Explore the fundamental building blocks of symplectic singularities through the lens of supersymmetric quantum field theory in this conference talk by Antoine Bourget. Delve into the mathematical structures that emerge when studying the "atoms" of symplectic singularities, examining how supersymmetric QFT provides powerful tools and insights for understanding these geometric objects. Learn about the connections between theoretical physics and algebraic geometry as the speaker demonstrates how quantum field theory techniques can illuminate the nature of singular symplectic varieties. Discover the role these atomic components play in the broader classification and understanding of symplectic singularities, and gain insight into how modern mathematical physics approaches can reveal deep structural properties of these important geometric spaces.
