A Brief Introduction to Infinity by Edward Frenkel
نویسنده
چکیده
I recently discussed these questions with Edward Frenkel, Berkeley mathematics professor and author of “Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality.” “We have many ways to connect to infinity: through art, through poetry, through love,” explained Dr. Frenkel. “But mathematics gives us perhaps the most cerebral and logical way to connect to the infinite. So in this day and age, when we tend to put more trust in rational arguments than in other types of arguments, mathematics becomes our portal to infinity.”

متن کاملFramed Sheaves over Treefolds and Symmetric Obstruction Theories
We note that open moduli spaces of sheaves over local Calabi-Yau surface geometries framed along the divisor at infinity admit symmetric perfect obstruction theories. We calculate the corresponding Donaldson-Thomas weighted Euler characteristics (as well as the topological Euler characteristics). Furthermore, for blowup geometries, we discuss the contribution of exceptional curves. 2010 Mathema...
