Application for workshop  is now closed. Organized by Kevin Costello, Ryan Grady, Owen Gwilliam, and Si Li Dates: September 29 – October 3, 2014 The Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism is a powerful method for constructing quantum field theories, notably gauge and supergravity theories. Recently, the language of derived geometry and homotopical algebra has provided a deeper interpretation … Read more
Organized by Philippe LeFloch, Mike Anderson, Sergiu Klainerman, and Jared Speck Dates: January 19 – 23, 2015 Einstein’s field equation of general relativity is one of the most important geometric partial differential equations. Over the past decade, the mathematical research on Einstein equation has made spectacular progress on many fronts, including the Cauchy problem, cosmic censorship, … Read more
Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Samuel Grushevsky, Robert Lazarsfeld, and Eduard Looijenga Dates: July 7 – 18, 2014 In recent years, moduli of Riemann surfaces (or algebraic curves) have come to play an increasingly central role in several fields of mathematics, including algebraic and complex geometry, topology, Teichmuller dynamics, mathematical physics, and … Read more
Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Simon Donaldson, Mark Haskins, and Dietmar Salamon Dates: September 2 – 5, 2014 This workshop seeks to connect recent developments and open questions in the theory of compact manifolds with special or exceptional holonomy (especially G_2 manifolds) with other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics: differential topology, algebraic … Read more
Organized by Robert Berman, Semyon Klevtsov, Paul Wiegmann, and Steve Zelditch Dates: June 15 – 19, 2015 This workshop is devoted to random surfaces, shapes and fields, in both physics and geometry. In statistical mechanics in two spatial dimensions random fields are associated with critical fluctuations of random geometric objects such as curves and surfaces. … Read more
Organized by Eugene Gorsky, Sergei Gukov, Mikhail Khovanov, Vivek Shende, and Piotr Sulkowski Dates: June 1 – 5, 2015 The aim of this workshop is to exchange current ideas in physics and mathematics related to knot homologies. Intimate relations between knots and physics, found around 25 years ago in the seminal work by Witten, grew … Read more
Organized by Nikita Nekrasov and Gerald Dunne Dates: March 16 – 20, 2015 Resurgence is a mathematical formalism that unifies perturbative and non-perturbative expansions into a single unified framework in the form of a “trans-series”, such that the entire trans-series is internally self-consistent with respect to Borel summation and analytic continuation of the couplings. While … Read more

Organized by Ron Donagi, Samuel Grushevsky, Sheldon Katz, and Edward Witten Dates: May 18 – 22, 2015 The goal of the workshop is to catalyze rapid development of the extension to super Riemann surfaces of the theory of Riemann surfaces and their moduli. We plan to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on Riemann surfaces … Read more
Organized by Lars Brink, Viatcheslav Mukhanov, and Nikita Nekrasov Dates: May 4 – 8, 2015 Fundamental Particle Physics and Cosmology are both at fascinating crossroads. With the start of the LHC at CERN, the world’s most advanced particle accelerator it has finally been possible to probe particle physics at far higher energies than before. Even … Read more
