“Point of View: Now Is Not the Time to Cut Funding for Public Broadcasting,” POV, BU Today

President Trump’s proposed budget threatens to pull the plug on federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the major funder of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) programming and National Public Radio (NPR) and the supporter of 350 local member public television stations. This proposed cut will do very little to fix the US budget deficit, but it will contribute mightily to the shortage of reliable public information available to citizens at a time when they need it most.http://www.bu.edu/articles/2017/pov-funding-for-public-broadcasting/Published versio

Localization for the norm-square of the moment map and the two-dimensional Yang-Mills integral

The first seven sections of the paper contain a version of localization for the norm-square of the moment map in equivariant de Rham theory, similar to that proved by P.-E. Paradan. The last section contains a definition and computation of the Yang-Mills path integral in two dimensions. The idea is to reverse the logic in Witten's paper and take the localization formula as the definition of the path integral. Using a symmetry argument we show that the path integral is given by the Migdal formula.Comment: 33 pages. Corrections and a few paragraphs re-written. To appear in Jour. Sympl. Geo
