 Physics/1/">On the Quantization of Seiberg-Witten Geometry</a>\nby Nathan 
 Haouzi (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) as part of SCGP Zoom Physi
 cs Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe propose a double quantization of four-dimensi
 onal N=2 Seiberg-Witten geometry\, for all classical gauge groups and a wi
 de variety of matter content. This can be understood as a set of certain n
 on-perturbative Schwinger-Dyson identities\, following the program initiat
 ed in [arXiv:1512.05388]. The construction relies on the computation of th
 e instanton partition function of the gauge theory on the so-called Omega-
 background on R^4\, in the presence of half-BPS codimension 4 defects. The
  two quantization parameters are identified as the two parameters of this 
 background. The Seiberg-Witten curve of the theory is recovered in the fla
 t space limit. If time permits\, we will explain how to derive some of our
  results from type IIA string theory.\n

 Physics/2/">The supersymmetric Cardy formula from effective actions</a>\nb
 y Martin Fluder (Princeton University) as part of SCGP Zoom Physics Semina
 r\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this talk\, I will discuss supersymmetric Cardy formul
 ae in d=4 and d=6. These formulae govern the universal behavior in the hig
 h-temperature regime of supersymmetric partition functions — or\, in the
  case of the superconformal index\, they govern the high-energy asymptotic
 s of SUSY operators at large energy. I will outline the proof of the 6d an
 d 4d Cardy formulae for theories with moduli spaces of vacua\, which relie
 s on an effective supersymmetric Chern-Simons action in 5d and 3d\, respec
 tively. I will argue that this effective action is universal and intimatel
 y related to perturbative as well as global gravitational anomalies. Final
 ly\, I will discuss some immediate consequences of our results and briefly
  compare and distinguish our results to other (more recent) proposals for 
 Cardy formulae.\n
