Organizing by: Tom Bridgeland (University of Sheffield, UK) Samuel Grushevsky (Stony Brook University, USA) Andrew Neitzke (Yale University, USA) Martin Moeller (Universitaet Frankfurt, Germany) This workshop in Mathematics inspired by a circle of ideas originating in quantum field theory and string theory, particularly the study of the quantum field theories “of class S”. These field … Read more
Organized by: Simon Catterall (Syracuse) Juven Wang (CMSA, Harvard) Yi-Zhuang You (UCSD) David Tong (DAMTP, Cambridge) The most common mechanism for generating fermion masses arises when scalar fields acquire vacuum expectation values in theories with Yukawa interactions. Such a mechanism is necessarily associated with the spontaneous breaking of symmetries. However, recent work in both the … Read more
Organized by: Matthias Kaminski (Alabama) Natalie Klco (Duke) Berndt Mueller (Duke) Andreas Schaefer (Regensburg) Sebastian Waeber (Technion) Laurence Yaffe (U Washington) This workshop will survey new insights and future challenges of some foundational problems of theoretical physics, including the evolution of entanglement and complexity in isolated quantum systems. Our aim is to confront recent insights … Read more
