Organized by: • Misha Bialy (Tel Aviv) • Milena Radnovic (Sydney) • Alfonso Sorrentino (Rome Tor Vergata) • Sergey Tabachnikov (Penn State University) The last few years have witnessed an impressively high level of advances in the study of the dynamics of mathematical billiards, shedding new light on their profound connections with important problems in […]
Happy Holidays from the Simons Center
The SCGP seeks Research Assistant Professors/Postdocs for Fall 2023
The Simons Center for Geometry and Physics has openings for Research Assistant Professors (Postdocs) in the coming academic year. These are three-year, fixed term positions with an expected start date of September 1, 2023. Stony Brook University’s Simons Center for Geometry and Physics is an endowed research organization devoted to furthering fundamental knowledge in geometry […]
Fluctuations, Entanglements, and Chaos: Exact Results: August 28, 2023- September 1, 2023
Orgaized by: D. Bernard, B. Bertini, F. H. L. Essler, V. Khemani and T. Prosen Experimental advances in ultra-cold atomic physics and building quantum simulators have opened up new research areas in quantum many-body physics focused on inherently dynamical properties. Examples of fundamental questions that have been investigated in the last few years included characterizing […]
Della Pietra Lecture Series: Local High School Opportunity
I am neither clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious. – Albert Einstein The SGGP is offering a great opportunity for the local High Schools on Long Island to get involved with this exceptional event. The panel participants are all pioneers in their field and are coming together for this special discussion. […]
Graduate Workshop: New Trends in Mathematical Fluid Dynamics: March 28 – April 1, 2022
Organized by: Theodore D. Drivas (Stony Brook University), Sam Punshon-Smith (Tulane), Francisco Torres de Lizaur (university of Toronto) The purpose of this course is to introduce graduate students to state-of-the-art methods, results, and open problems in mathematical fluid dynamics. We will discuss the mathematical foundations and modern analysis aspects of the Navier-Stokes and Euler equations. […]

Workshop: SuperGeometry and SuperModuli: March 27-31, 2023
Organizing by: Sergio Cacciatori (Università degli studi dell’Insubria),Samuel Grushevsky (SCGP),Alexander Polishchuk (University of Oregon) A supermanifold is the generalization of a usual manifold when some of the coordinates are even variables, and some are odd.The mathematical foundations of supergeometry were established in the 1970s and 1980s. While much of the motivation for this came from […]
Workshop: Number Theory And Physics: October 24 – October 28, 2022
Organized by: Brian Conrey (American Institute of Mathematics), Matilde Lalin (Université de Montréal), Giuseppe Mussardo (Laboratorio Interdisciplinare Scienze Naturali e Umanistiche, SISSA), German Sierra (UAM/CSIC) The interplay between Number Theory and Physics has a long tradition, as illustrated by several examples and many initiatives of the past. A well-know example is the tantalizing connection between […]
