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 […]

Probability, integrability, and conformal invariance: August 16 – September 10, 2021
Organized by: Eldad Bettelheim, Ilya Gruzberg, Håkan Hedenmalm, Alisa Knizel, and Paul Wiegmann. In recent years, the convergence of several topics in mathematics and physics have led to exciting developments in the study of fundamental problems in field theory, statistical mechanics, and probability theory. A deeper understanding has been gained of hidden symmetries associated with […]
Geometric and Representation-Theoretic Aspects of Quantum Integrability: August 29-October 21, 2022
Organized by: Peter Koroteev, Elli Pomoni, Benoit Vicedo, Dmytro Volin, Anton Zeitlin Quantum integrable systems (QIS) keep reemerging in various areas of modern mathematics and theoretical physics. They were an inspiration for the creation of the theory of quantum groups and play an important role in the understanding of enumerative geometry, representation theory, and quantum […]
Integrability, Enumerative Geometry and Quantization: August 22nd – September 23rd, 2022
Organized by Gaëtan Borot (Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany), Alexandr Buryak (Higher School of Economics, Russia), Chiu-Chu Melissa Liu (Columbia University), Nikita Nekrasov (SCGP), Paul Norbury (University of Melbourne, Australia), Paolo Rossi (University of Padua, Italy) The role played by integrable systems in enumerative geometry has been first observed by physicists at the beginning of the nineties: […]
Zoom Seminar Series: Dynamics and Renormalization Program
The Simons Center program on Renormalization and Universality in Conformal Geometry, Dynamics, Random Processes, and Field Theory is continuing with a series of online ZOOM seminars throughout 2020. For the full schedule of talks please visit: http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/agenda?LocationID=151 Or our calendar here: http://scgp.stonybrook.edu/calendar/full-calendar In order to be added to our mailing list to receive upcoming talk announcements and […]
Zoom Fall Seminar Series: Supersymmetric Black Holes, Holography and Microstate Counting
Organized by: Cyril Closset (Oxford U.), Leopoldo Pando Zayas (Michigan U.), Luigi Tizzano (SCGP, Stony Brook), Chiara Toldo (Ecole Polytechnique and CEA Saclay), Alberto Zaffaroni (Milano Bicocca U.) This seminar series will serve as a first part of the of the activity. The seminars will be run online via ZOOM, from September 28, 2020 – November […]
Singularity and Prediction in Fluids: May 31-July 1, 2022
Organized by: Theodore D. Drivas and Dennis Sullivan Turbulent flows are ubiquitous in the world around us; from trailing airplane wakes to swirling cream in our morning coffee. Despite its prevalence, basic mathematical questions about this complex non-linear phenomenon persist. This is, in part, because fluid motion involves many spatiotemporal scales that interact dynamically and […]
Summer Seminar Series: Applications of gauge topology, holography and string models to QCD
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: TBD
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 […]
