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
Organized by Igor Klebanov, Zohar Komargodski, Raju Venugopalan The workshop will cover a range of topics related to confining gauge theories, and non-perturbative QFT more broadly. Topics will include aspects of lattice gauge theory models, corrections to the Nambu-Goto action and the S-matrix bootstrap for confining strings, generalized symmetries on the lattice and in the … Read more
Organized By: Alexei Borodin (MIT) Ivan Corwin (Columbia) Evita Nestoridi (Stony Brook) Much of probability theory is concerned with understanding phenomena and structure that emerges in large, complex systems driven by disorder. This understanding is often first established for special example systems that are analyzable due to hidden connections to algebra. This summer workshop will … Read more
Organized by: Theodore Drivas (Stony Brook) Gregory Falkovich (Weizmann) Vladimir Rosenhaus (CUNY) Vlad Vicol (NYU) The last decade has seen significant progress in the studies of turbulence, understood widely as a far-from-equilibrium state of a system with many degrees of freedom. This is due, in particular, to the two just-finished Simons collaborations, one on wave … Read more
Organized by: Alberto Abbondandolo (Bochum) Mohammed Abouzaid (Stanford) Vladimir Chernov (Dartmouth) Leonid Polterovich (Tel Aviv) Stefan Suhr (Bochum) The workshop will bring together experts in contact geometry, topology, and mathematical physics to focus on novel methods and phenomena in the geometry of the space of Legendrian submanifolds of contact manifolds, with an emphasis on causal … Read more
Organized by: Zhen Bi, Penn State University Fiona Burnell (University of Minnesota Twin Cities) Zhu-Xi Luo (Georgia Institute of Technology) Thomas Scaffidi (University of California) Advances in the ability to create and dynamically control quantum many-body systems have catalyzed new and theoretically profound questions about collective quantum phenomena in real-world conditions. For instance, while the … Read more
