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 idea of Dynamical Renormalization, motivated by renormalization in QFT and Statistical Mechanics, emerged in the mid-1970s in the work by Feigenbaum, Coullet and Tresser (with first preprints emerging in 1976). It … 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

Organized by: Marcus Khuri (Stony Brook University) Jaroslaw Kopinski (University of California at Davis) Ramiro Lafuente (University of Queensland) Marika Taylor (University of Birmingham) Andrew Waldron (University of California at Davis) The theory of General Relativity is founded upon on the mathematics of Einstein metrics and conformal geometries. This workshop will bring together mathematicians and … Read more
