Abstract: Spinors are used to describe fermions with spin 1/2. They have this counterintuitive property that their wavefunction changes sign when they are rotated by 360 degrees. I will use Homotopy theory to explain in geometric terms how this all makes sense.
** Refreshments served from 2:45pm – 3:00pm in PAS 218. Please join us for the colloquium in PAS 224. Thank you. **
