Organized by Lars Andersson (BIMSA) and Claude LeBrun (Stony Brook) This program will bring together a constellation of the world’s experts on Einstein 4-manifolds and gravitational instantons. Recall that a Riemannian manifold is said to be Einstein if its Ricci curvature, considered as a function on the unit tangent bundle, is constant. However, dimension four … Read more
Organized by: Niayesh Afshordi, Emil Martinec and Samir D. Mathur 50 years ago Stephen Hawking published his famous paper arguing that the evaporation of black holes violated quantum unitarity. In the intervening decades, the puzzle, known as the black hole information paradox, has become an intense focus of interest. However, different parts of the community … Read more

In preparing this Newsletter, we were collecting a tally of the activities over the last year, and those for the months to come, when we received the shattering news that Jim Simons had passed away. He was one of the exceptional few that combined several lives into one. It is difficult to imagine a single … Read more
Jim loved mathematics, science research, and education. In lieu of gifts or flowers, the Simons family asks that well-wishers consider a donation to some groups, among them the SCGP; whom all in their own way advance the frontiers of mathematics and the basic sciences: https://www.simonsfoundation.org/observing
