Organized by: Ahmed Almheiri (NYU) Hong Liu (MIT) Stephen Shenker (Stanford University) Sasha Zhiboedov (CERN) The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on AdS/CFT, general relativity, black hole perturbation theory, thermal QFT correlators, quantum chaos and SYK. The focus of the workshop is to investigate and understand how boundary correlation functions … Read more
Organized by: Kara Farnsworth (Heriot-Watt University) Brian Henning (University of Hawaii) Marco Serone (SISSA) Antoine Tilloy (Mines Paris – PSL) Matthew Walters (Heriot-Watt University) This workshop will bring together researchers from multiple subfields of theoretical condensed matter and particle physics, focused on the shared goal of solving strongly-coupled systems. We plan to cover recent advances … Read more
Organized by: Leonardo Mihalcea (Virginia Tech) Igor Pak (UCLA) Colleen Robichaux (UCLA) Frank Sottile (Texas A&M) Schubert calculus aims to compute intersection multiplicities of Schubert varieties in the complete flag variety. With the motivation of Hilbert’s 15th problem, rigorous foundations of these computations were developed using cohomology theory. In the following century, additional tools were … Read more
Organized by: Ofer Busani (University of Edinburgh) Barbara Dembin (CNRS and University of Strasbourg) Evan Sorensen (Columbia University) The area of random growth models is an extensive and active field in both mathematics and physics. In recent years, the field has seen tremendous progress in our understanding of random growth models in one dimension. For … Read more
Organized by: Robert Konik (Brookhaven National Lab) Aditi Mitra (New York University) Sara Murciano (CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay -LPTMS) Giuseppe Mussardo (SISSA) Jesko Sirker (University of Manitoba) Quantum integrability is often introduced as a story about the Yang–Baxter equation and Bethe ansatz. That story is true—and also increasingly incomplete. Over the last decade, “integrability” has … Read more
Organized by: Sheel Ganatra (USC) Yusuf Barış Kartal (National University of Singapore) Adeel Khan (Academia Sinica) John Pardon (SCGP) Quantum geometry studies the quantization of classical invariants such as cohomology or intersection numbers, i.e. structures such as quantum cohomology and Lagrangian Floer theory in algebraic and symplectic geometry. Many recent developments in quantum geometry have … Read more
Scientific Organizer: Cumrun Vafa (Harvard), Local Organizer: Martin Rocek (CN Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics) The Simons Physics Summer Workshop is the Eighteenth conducted by the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook and the twenty-third in the series Simons Physics Summer Workshops. This year, the Simons Summer Workshop in Physics will focus … Read more
Organized by: Rouven Essig (Stony Brook University) Patrick Meade (Stony Brook University) Luis Alvarez-Gaume (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics) This SCGP/YITP workshop celebrates the extraordinary scientific achievements of Professor George Sterman, a leading figure in theoretical physics whose contributions have fundamentally shaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the strong force. As a … Read more
Organized by: Dima Dudko (SBU) Edson de Faria (University of Sao Paulo) Kostya Khanin (University of Toronto) Misha Lyubich (SBU) Marco Martens (SBU) The goal of the Workshop is to bring together researchers working on various aspects of Renormalization in Dynamical Systems. Fifty years ago, the Renormalization was introduced in Dynamics in the works of … Read more
Organized by: Nikolay Bobev (KU Leuven) Michela Petrini (Sorbonne University) Silviu Pufu (Princeton University) Henning Samtleben (ENS Lyon) Oscar Varela (Utah State) Geometric techniques like generalized geometry and exceptional field theory provide a powerful formalism that efficiently describes the low-energy regime of string theory. Modern QFT methods like the bootstrap program, supersymmetric localization and advances … Read more
