Jan 7 – Jan 10 all-day
Tickets
We’re setting up a series of Ask a Philosopher booths at the Turnstyle Underground Market at Columbus Circle from January 7th to January 10th from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It’s sort of the public-facing component of a big philosophy conference taking place in the city, so it’s a cool opportunity to talk with philosophers from all over the country.

Gauge theory and boundaries: A complicated relationship, Henrique Gomes (Perimeter) 11:30 am
Gauge theory and boundaries: A complicated relationship, Henrique Gomes (Perimeter) @ Columbia University, Pupin Hall 705

I argue that we do not understand gauge theory as well as we think we do, when boundaries are present. I will briefly explain the conceptual and technical issues that arise at the boundary. I will then propose a tentative resolution, which requires us to think of theories not in space-time, but in field-space.
