Fall Semester 2004
-
Per Berglund of University of New Hampshire, Department of Physics
The String Landscape
2004-10-05
Abstract: We will review recent progress in understanding the vacua of string theory and in particular how solutions with positive vacuum energy appear. -
Dr. Geoffrey Dixon of University of New Hampshire, Department of Physics/&Stones
Why we like octonions
2004-09-22
Abstract: The octonions are the largest of the four normed division algebras. While somewhat neglected due to their nonassociativity, they stand at the crossroads of many interesting fields of mathematics and physics. Extensive material can be found at Octonians
