Exactly a week ago I took my oral exam and passed, and soon it will be Eitan’s turn. This explains why things have been a bit quite around here. The bad news is that things will remain quite for a bit longer.
The good news is that we are planning to start again the meetings during the fall with topological field theory! I know nothing about this, erm, field. It will take some time to read and prepare something. But I already started to look into some notes on the arXiv:
- A mini-course on topological strings. hep-th/0504147
- Aspects of Chern-Simons Theory. hep-th/9902115
I will probably take care of the physics part, which is mostly included in the second link. Hopefully we can do some quantum stuff.

Yay! I donno if i can talk about TQFTs next week since the book I wanted from the library is checked out. Maybe I’ll make Joe talk.
