Organizers: Massimo D’Elia, Jeff Greensite, Elias Kiritsis, Zohar Komargodski, Edward Shuryak, Jacob Sonnenschein, Ismail Zahed A workshop on these topics was supposed to start in June 2020 at the Simons Center of Stony Brook University, but this in-person meeting is now delayed to June 7, 2021. This will mean a roughly two year gap since […]

Continued: Lighting new Lampposts for Dark Matter and Beyond the Standard Model: January 19 – February 5, 2021
This is a continuation of last years program: Lighting new Lampposts for Dark Matter and Beyond the Standard Model. Organized by: Ranny Budnik, Rouven Essig, and Maxim Pospelov. Continuing progress in collider physics and dark matter searches in the past few decades have put significant pressure on several favorable theoretical models for Dark Matter and […]
Continued: Renormalization and Universality in Conformal Geometry, Dynamics, Random Processes, and Field Theory: February 22 – March 19, 2021
Organizers: Dzmitry Dudko, Kostya Khanin and Misha Lyubich The goal of the program is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on various aspects of renormalization in dynamical systems. The idea of Renormalization group emerged in Quantum Field Theory. Later, in the 1960s, it became a major tool in Statistical Mechanics in analysis of phase […]
Lighting new Lampposts for Dark Matter and Beyond the Standard Model: February 24 – March 20, 2020
****Please note as of March 23rd the program has been postponed and will be rescheduled to January 19 – February 5, 2021.**** Organized by: Ranny Budnik, Rouven Essig, and Maxim Pospelov. Continuing progress in collider physics and dark matter searches in the past few decades have put significant pressure on several favorable theoretical models for […]
The Stokes Phenomenon and its applications in Mathematics and Physics: April 26-June 25, 2021
Organized by: Anton Alekseev, Marco Gualtieri, and Xiaomeng Xu When a system of differential equations has an irregular singularity, such as a pole of order two or higher, a solution may fail to have a well-defined asymptotic expansion at the singular locus. Instead, there is a collection of angular sectors surrounding the singular locus, in […]
Neural Networks and the Data Science Revolution: from Theoretical Physics to Neuroscience, and Back: January 6-31, 2020
Organized by: Michael R. Douglas, Sergei Gukov, Jim Halverson, Sven Krippendorf, Fabian Ruehle, Giancarlo La Camera, Luca Mazzucato, Jin Wang Live video may be available, please take a look at http://scgp.stonybrook.edu/live. The availability of very large datasets and the striking progress in artificial intelligence are revolutionizing the way scientists approach their disciplines. The deployment of […]
Renormalization and Universality in Conformal Geometry, Dynamics, Random Processes, and Field Theory: February 3 – March 23, 2020
****Please note as of March 23, 2020 the program has been postponed and will be rescheduled to February 22 – March 19, 2021.**** We will be conducting virtual zoom seminars in response to the social distancing measures currently in place in New York. These seminars are taking place generally on Fridays at 2:30pm. You can […]
Quantum-Mechanical Systems at Large Quantum Number: August 26 – September 20, 2019
Organized by: Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Simeon Hellerman, Domenico Orlando, and Susanne Reffert QFT is the basic paradigm for the description of condensed matter physics and high-energy particle physics. Despite decades of research, strongly coupled regimes of QFT are largely inaccessible to analytic methods, even though important progress has come from the conformal bootstrap and non-Lagrangian methods. […]
Geometrical aspects of topological phases of matter: spatial symmetries, fractons and beyond: April 12 – June 4, 2021
Organized by: Jennifer Cano, Dominic Else, Andrey Gromov, Siddharth Parameswaran, and Yizhi You Topological phases of matter are a long-standing subject of interest in the condensed matter community, and increasingly relevant to issues in high-energy physics. A topological phase is traditionally defined to be one which is “non-trivial” (cannot be deformed to a trivial insulator […]
Universality and ergodicity in quantum many-body systems: August 26-October 18, 2019
Organized by: Boris Altshuler, Anatoly Dymarsky, Lea Santos, and Jacobus Verbaarschot Program seminars will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:30pm and Fridays at 11:30am in room 313. To view the schedule of upcoming talks please visit: http://scgp.stonybrook.edu/calendar/full-calendar Dynamics of quantum many-body systems is attracting extensive attention across different fields of physics: theoretical and experimental […]
