Geometrical Aspects of Topological Phases of Matter: Spatial Symmetries, Fractons and Beyond: April 4 – May 27, 2022

Organized by: Jennifer Cano (Stony Brook University), Dominic Else (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Andrey Gromov (Brown), Siddharth Parameswaran (University of Oxford), Yizhi You (Princeton University) 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 … Read more

Probability, integrability, and conformal invariance: August 23 – September 10, 2021

Organized by: Eldad Bettelheim (Hebrew University), Ilya Gruzberg (Ohio State University), Håkan Hedenmalm (KTH), Alisa Knizel (University of Chicago), Paul Wiegmann (Univ. of Chicago) 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. … Read more

Singularity and Prediction in Fluids: May 31-July 1, 2022

Organized by: Theodore D. Drivas (Stony Brook University), Dennis Sullivan (Stony Brook University) 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 … Read more

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 … Read more

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**** 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 other beyond the Standard … Read more
