On November 9, 2020, the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics will hold a 10th anniversary celebration to mark 10 years since the building’s inauguration. The festivities will include a day of conference talks given by experts in the field and friends of the Simons Center on the following topics; highlights of theoretical Physics and Mathematics … Read more
Organized by: Marco Bertola (Concordia University and SISSA), John Harnad (Centre de recherches mathematiques), Jacques Hurtubise (McGill University), Alexander Its (IUPUI) Dmitry Korotkin (Concordia University) Tau functions are key ingredients in the modern theory of integrable systems. In the classical dynamical systems setting, they appear as generating functions for solutions of integrable hierarchies, such as … Read more
Organized by: Matthew Hedden, Tom Mrowka, Olga Plamenevskaya, Jacob Rasmussen This event has been changed to a Zoom Conference. There will be two talks every day (at 1:00pm and 3:00pm, U.S. Eastern Time) as well as informal discussion time following each talk. This workshop will explore topics of current interest in the theory of Floer … Read more
Organized by: David Damanik (Rice University), Jake Fillman (Texas State University), Selim Sukhtaiev (Auburn University) Ergodic Schrödinger operators have been studied heavily since the 1970s, as they include many examples of physical interest, such as disordered media, electrons in an external magnetic field, and quasicrystals. These operators enjoy many subtle connections to other areas of … Read more
Organized by: Daniel Halpern-Leistner (Cornell) Melissa Liu (Columbia) Mark McLean (Stony Brook) Tony Pantev (UPenn) Daniel Pomerleano (UMass Boston) This Workshop is focused on quantum invariants in birational geometry. The main themes under consideration will be the behavior of quantum cohomology and the Fukaya category under birational transformations. The workshop will also examine Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev-Yu’s recent … Read more
Due to the current pandemic, Stony Brook University will remain closed throughout the 2020 summer. The Simons Summer Workshop 2021 will run from July 12-August 6. Scientific organizer: Cumrun Vafa Local organizer: Martin Rocek This Workshop is the thirteenth conducted by the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook and the eighteenth in … Read more

Organized by: Christine Aidala (University of Michigan), Yang-Ting Chien (Georgia State University), Abhay Deshpande (Department of Physics and Astronomy, SBU), George Sterman (CN Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics) At high energies in quantum chromodynamics, particle jets provide an experimentally accessible manifestation of a change in degrees of freedom with time. The relationship between asymptotically short … Read more
This event has been postponed the new dates will be May 9-13 2022. Organized by: Oleg Gang (Chem. Eng. and APAM, Columbia University & CFN, Brookhaven National Lab), Miranda Holmes-Cerfon (Courant Institute, NYU), Karen Kasza (Mech. Eng., Columbia University), Alexei Tkachenko (CFN, Brookhaven National Lab) Soft Condensed Matter Physics is a rapidly changing field that … Read more
Organized by Yin-Chen He, Zohar Komargodski, Leonardo Rastelli, and Slava Rychkov Conformal field theories (CFTs) represent a vital class of quantum field theories with wide-ranging applications, from quantum gravity to critical phenomena in both classical and quantum matter. CFTs in 3D and higher dimensions are strongly interacting, thus requiring the employment of non-perturbative tools. One such … Read more
