Previous seminars

• Summer 2011 the Dynkin operator and renormalization Hopf algebras
• Spring 2011 integrable models in combinatorics and physics
• In Fall 2010, Samson Black and I organied a learning seminar on knots and quantum field theory.
• In late April and May 2010 I gave a series of 5 lectures on Renormalization Hopf Algebras, and the participants kindly took notes.
• Spring 2010 workgroup on Random matrices, symmetric functions, and graph enumeration.

Older seminars on more motivic topics from when I was at Boston University. There are many broken links, but I consider these archived and so they will not be changed.

• Fall 2006 seminar on motives with applications in physics
• Spring 2006 Motives-Arithmetic-Physics Seminar (organized by Obi Rej).
• Fall 2005 learning seminar on motives
