DESCRIPTION:Title: Degrees of freedom\, topology and mechanical systems: it
  takes three to tango.\n\nAbstract: As one of the fundamental concepts in 
 physics\, degrees of freedom are commonly encountered in classical mechani
 cs\, statistical physics\, and QFT. However\, the concept is often introdu
 ced without a careful explanation. In this talk\, I will present a pedagog
 ical approach to understanding degrees of freedom by analyzing simple (but
  not trivial!) mechanical systems. We will emphasize the role played by to
 pology and geometry\, and demonstrate how this approach provides a physica
 l introduction to topology.\n\nLocation: Hybride Pav. André Aisenstadt\, s
 alle/room 4336-4384 Open on Zoom\n
