The Universe through gravitational waves December 12-15 2016 Organized by: Luis Álvarez-Gaumé, Vitor Cardoso, and Marilena Loverde The recent but historical detection of gravitational waves by LIGO marks the dawn of the era of gravitational-wave astronomy. What were the ingredients and demands for detection? What have we learned, and what can we learn from this … Read more
Organized by: Chris Herzog, Vladimir Korepin and Bruno Nachtergaele. This workshop is organized in connection to the SCGP program on Entanglement and Dynamical Systems. Quantum entanglement is a continuing source of inspiration and progress in physics and mathematics that cuts across traditional boundaries separating different disciplines. In this workshop, we would like to bring together … Read more
Organized by: Daniel Huybrechts, Ljudmila Kamenova, Emanuele Macri, Eyal Markman The Chow group of an algebraic variety encodes information about its algebraic cycles up to rational equivalence. The study of Chow groups is intimately related to the study of the derived categories of coherent sheaves, as illustrated, for example, by recent results on rational points … Read more

Organized by: William Yessen and Zhenghe Zhang Dates: June 6 – 10, 2016 The study of 1D discrete Schroedinger equation lies across physics, spectral theory, and dynamical systems. It models the motion of a quantum particle in a disordered medium. The evolution of motion is studied via the spectral theory of the Schroedinger operator. For … Read more
Organized by: Lara B. Anderson, David Baraglia, Laura P. Schaposnik, and Vivek Shende Dates: June 13 – 17, 2016 The aim of this workshop is to connect recent developments and open questions in the study of branes in the moduli space of Higgs bundles with other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics: differential and algebraic … Read more
Organized by: Simon Donaldson, Kenji Fukaya, and John Morgan, Recent Developments in the Mathematical Study of Gauge Theory: The workshop will focus on geometrical and analytical aspects Gauge Theories beyond the `classical’ cases of SU(2)- and SO(3)-gauge theory in dimensions 3 and 4. Topics will include gauge theory on complex manifolds and on manifolds with … Read more
