Speaker: The organizers (UMCP) -
Abstract: We will discuss possible topics for this year and a plan for approaching them. We could continue with mirror symmetry, or discuss TQFTs, or some other topic.

Speaker: Matthew Yu (UMD) -
Abstract: We will introduce the concept of a topological field theory, namely Chern-Simons theory, and describe show how some results of the quantum Hall effect can be derived from the Chern-Simons action. I will be following Tong with some additional remarks on topological field theories.
