Folding RNA: a confluence of biology, mathematics, and physics
TYPEColloquium
Speaker:Anthony Zee
Affiliation:KITP
Date:03.04.2017
Time:14:30 - 15:30
Location:Lidow Rosen Auditorium (323)
Abstract:

I will describe a long-standing project to fold RNA using some topological aspects of matrix field theory in the large-N limit, in particular some recent work with Orland, Vernizzi, and others. The problem involves elements of biology, mathematics, and physics. The talk will be self-contained, aiming at an interdisciplinary audience.
