Photons are massless particles which do not interact with one another in vacuum. There exist nonlinear media in which light fields affect each other, but in conventional materials, optical nonlinearities are typically negligible at the single photon level. Media exhibiting strong photonphoton interactions are a long-standing goal of quantum optical science due to their important impact for all-...

The adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA, 1706 residues) plays an essential role in the early stages of respiratory tract colonization by Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. The cell intoxication process, which is still poorly understood, involves a unique mechanism of translocation of the CyaA catalytic domain (AC) directly across the plasma membrane of target cells. Once in ...

Thu, Nov 16, 3:30pm Matt Szczesny (Boston Univ.) The Langlands program: from arithmetic to conformal field theory This will be a very elementary attempt to trace the sequence of analogies that lead from the Langlands program for global fields to the geometric formulation given by A. Beilinson and V. Drinfeld. I will attempt to explain the formulation of the latter in the language of conformal f...
