Adinkras: Snapshots of Supersymmetry (Jordan Kostiuk, Brown University)
September 24, 2019 @ 12:15 pm - 1:10 pm
An “Adinkra” is a graphical tool to describe a branch of particle physics known as supersymmetry. Understanding the mathematics of Adinkras shines a light on the underlying physics, as well as helps to explore new areas of mathematics. After describing the basic structure of Adinkras, I will discuss some of these interesting interactions between mathematics and physics.This talk is intended for a general mathematics audience; undergraduate students are welcome.
