Motives: an Introductory Survey for Physicists
نویسنده
چکیده
We survey certain accessible aspects of Grothendieck’s theory of motives in arithmetic algebraic geometry for mathematical physicists, focussing on areas that have recently found applications in quantum field theory. An appendix (by Matilde Marcolli) sketches further connections between motivic theory and theoretical physics. post hoc, ergo ante hoc – Umberto Eco, Interpretation and overinterpretation

Report on " Modular Forms and String Duality " (06w5041)
The workshop was a huge success. Altogether thirty-seven mathematicians and physicists converged at the BIRS for the five day workshop. There were 26 one hour talks presented. Some were introductory lectures by mathematicians designed to prepare physicists in modular forms, quasimodular forms, modularity of Galois representations, and toric geometry. Vice versa, introductory lectures by physici...
متن کاملStudents know what physicists believe, but they don’t agree: A study using the CLASS survey
We measured what students perceive physicists to believe about physics and solving physics problems and how those perceptions differ from the students’ personal beliefs. In this study, we used a modified version of the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey which asked students to respond to each statement with both their personal belief and the response they thought a physicist would...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Motivic Zeta Functions of Motives
It oftens occurs that Taylor coefficients of (dimensionally regularized) Feynman amplitudes I with rational parameters, expanded at an integral dimension D = D0, are not only periods (Belkale, Brosnan, Bogner, Weinzierl) but actually multiple zeta values (Broadhurst, Kreimer). In order to determine, at least heuristically, whether this is the case in concrete instances, the philosophy of motive...
متن کاملفیزیک کاربردی-1: مقدمهای بر فیزیک اعصاب
In recent years, many physics departments have turned from pure physics into applied physics so that physics is no longer taught as a major in undergraduate or graduate studies without any specific application. This is due to the physics solutions brought for researchers in different disciplines, and that is for the analytical skills of physicists. From the first differential equation developed...
متن کاملString Theory: A Theory of Unification
These notes on string theory are based on a series of talks I gave during my graduate studies. As the talks, this introductory essay is intended for young students and non-string theory physicists.
