The British computer scientist Christopher Strachey (1916–1975) is frequently cited as having called for an end to an “artificial and injurious” separation of practical and theoretical work in programming.

G_2 instantons in twisted M-theory
Jihwan Oh
(Oxford University)
Abstract
I will discuss a string theory way to study G_2 instanton moduli space and explain how to compute the instanton partition function for a certain G_2 manifold. An important insight comes from the twisted M-theory on the G_2 manifold. Building on the example, I will explain a possibility to extend the story to a large set of conjectural G_2 manifolds and a possible connection to 4d N=1 SCFT via geometric engineering. This talk is based on https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.01110 and a series of works in progress with Michele Del Zotto and Yehao Zhou.

Please join us to celebrate International Women’s Day on Tuesday the 8th of March.
To address this year’s theme - Break the Bias - we will be hosting two sessions in Lecture Theatre 2:
1-2.30pm - How Women Rise in Professional Services, a focus on gender equality from the perspective of Professional Services Staff
2.45-5pm - A screening of 'Picture A Scientist' and panel discussion
5pm – Drinks reception
A long, long time ago aspiring students came to Oxford Mathematics Open Days to not only sample the maths, but to absorb the sights & sounds of Oxford. Then a virus visited.
Those days are back. We are pleased to announce that University of Oxford Open Days in 2022 will once again be in person and for Oxford Mathematics they start with our double-header on 23 and 30 April.
