VIDEO Recordings


On-line talks


All lectures during the Thematic Period will be recorded, and recordings will be accessible on this webpage shortly after the actual lectures. It is one of our goals in this Thematic Period to provide such a service to the Matrix Models and Geometry broader international community.
