Organized by Mark Andrea de Cataldo, Francois Greer, Christian Schnell Shuttle Schedule – RTG Graduate Summer School The goal of this summer school is to introduce Ph.D. students and Postdocs to exciting recent developments in the geometry of algebraic groups and in modular representation theory. The school will consist of two morning lecture … Read more
Organized by Jayadev Athreya, Steve Bradlow, Sergei Gukov, Andy Neitzke, Anna Wienhard, and Anton Zorich Holomorphic differentials on Riemann surfaces have long held a distinguished place in low dimensional geometry, dynamics and representation theory. Recently it has become apparent that they constitute a common feature of several other highly active areas of current … Read more
Workshop: Convergence and Low Regularity in General Relativity April 29-May 3, 2019 Organized by: Philippe LeFloch, Jeff Jauregui, Mike Anderson, Christina Sormani To truly address the many open questions that persist in Mathematical General Relativity, one cannot restrict oneself to smooth metrics and strong notions of convergence. One must apply Lebesgue, Sobolev, Sormani-Wenger Intrinsic … Read more
Organized by: Jin Wang, Ken Dill, Michael Douglas, Jose Onuchic The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers from around the world to discuss current progress in uncovering emergent phenomena and design principles that allow living systems to function, develop and evolve under nonequilibrium conditions. It will be organized to encourage discussion … Read more
Organized by Kenji Fukaya, Owen Gwilliam, Stephan Stolz, Peter Teichner, and Mahmoud Zeinalian. The main aim of this workshop is to strengthen the dialogue between string field theory and quantum field theory, via the shared language of the BV formalism. The BV formalism plays an increasingly important role in the mathematical treatment of QFT, as showcased … Read more
Organized by: Stefan Hollands, Vaughan Jones, Gandalf Lechner, Roberto Longo Since Heisenberg’s and Jordan’s “matrix formulation” of quantum mechanics about one hundred years ago, theoretical quantum physics has been a major incentive for mathematical research into operator algebras. The stimulus from physics has helped the development of this field, founded by von Neumann with the … Read more
Organized by Lara Anderson and Laura Schaposnikco-organizers: Sheldon Katz and Joerg Teschner. The school is aimed at graduate students and young postdocs, and will expose participants to some current research topics on the geometry and physics of Higgs bundles. The workshop will have several mini-courses by experts on topics close to their own research, including a … Read more
Organized by Lara Anderson and Laura Schaposnik Co-organized by Rafe Mazzeo and Tony Pantev The workshop will be devoted to recent exciting developments related to Higgs bundles and the Hitchin fibration, and string theory. The purpose of the workshop is to bring key leading researchers of related fields together with young researchers to establish new directions and … Read more
Organized by Terry Gannon, David Ginzburg, Axel Kleinschmidt, Stephen D. Miller, Daniel Persson, Boris Pioline The purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop is to investigate connections between string theory, automorphic forms, mock modular forms, and beyond.Automorphic representations are part of the basic language of the Langlands program, while at the same time playing … Read more
Organized by Sergei Gukov, Tomoyuki Arakawa, Boris Feigin, Alba Grassi, Hiraku Nakajima, Nikita Nekrasov, Andrei Okounkov Vertex operator algebras have a long history of interaction with physics by describing two-dimensional systems at criticality. More recently, they appeared, via BPS/CFT correspondence, in the context of higher-dimensional gauge theories and associated brane constructions in string theory. For … Read more
