# SMRI Algebra and Geometry Online: Ben-Zvi -- Boundary conditions and hamiltonian actions in geometric Langlands

SMRI Algebra and Geometry Online: ’Boundary conditions and hamiltonian actions in
geometric Langlands’

David Ben-Zvi (University of Texas at Austin)

Wednesday June 3, 11am-12:30pm (AEST)

Abstract: I will discuss some of the structures suggested by the physics of
supersymmetric gauge theory of relevance to the geometric Langlands program.  The
discussion will include defects of various dimensions in field theory, with an emphasis
on the role of boundary conditions and how they lead to the suggestion of a duality
between hamiltonian actions of Langlands dual groups.
