Dear friends, our seminar will be tomorrow at 12:00 Istanbul local time. 
The topic is of interest to string theorists as well; therefore please 
feel free to distribute the seminar information to interested colleagues 
in string theory...

Best regards,

Title: _Vafa-Witten Theory: Invariants, Floer Homologies, Higgs Bundles, 
a Geometric Langlands Correspondence, and Categorification_

Abstract: We revisit Vafa-Witten theory in the more general setting 
whereby the underlying moduli space is not that of instantons, but of 
the full Vafa-Witten equations. We physically derive (i) a novel 
Vafa-Witten four-manifold invariant associated with this moduli space, 
(ii) their relation to Gromov-Witten invariants, (iii) a novel 
Vafa-Witten Floer homology assigned to three-manifold boundaries, (iv) a 
novel Vafa-Witten Atiyah-Floer correspondence, (v) a proof and 
generalization of a conjecture by Abouzaid-Manolescu in [1] about the 
hypercohomology of a perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles, (vi) a 
Langlands duality of these invariants, Floer homologies and 
hypercohomology, and (vii) a quantum geometric Langlands correspondence 
with purely imaginary parameter that specializes to the classical 
correspondence in the zero-coupling limit, where Higgs bundles feature 
in (ii), (iv), (vi) and (vii). We also explain how these invariants and 
homologies will be categorified in the process, and discuss their higher 
categorification. In essence, we will relate differential and 
enumerative geometry, topology and geometric representation theory in 
mathematics, via a maximally-supersymmetric topological quantum field 
theory with electric-magnetic duality in physics.
