Fall 2015 – Seminar Series: Mathematics and Physics of Calogero-Moser-Sutherland systems.
Organized by: Nikita Nekrasov, Alexander Turbiner and Alexander Abanov. Timing: Spring 2015/Fall 2015 Abstract: Calogero-Moser-Sutherland many-body systems arose originally in the 1970’s simultaneously in Nuclear Physics, Mathematical Physics and Solid State Physics. Since then they were found in some incarnations in diverse branches of physics and mathematics such as the theory of quantum Hall effect, … Read more

Toric Kahler geometry: October 5 – 9, 2015
Organized by Xiuxiong Chen, Simon Donaldson Following the seminal ideas of Calabi, the existence of extremal and contant scalar curvature is a central problem in Kahler geometry. Over the past 30 years most attention has been paid to the special case of Kahler-Einstein metrics, but there is now renewed interest in the more general situation, … Read more
