Organizing by: Alexander Abanov (Stony Brook University) Boris Altshuler (Columbia University) Natan Andrei (Rutgers University) Hrachya Babujian (Alikhanian National Lab, Yerevan Physics Institute) Lea Santos (University of Connecticut) Tigran Sedrakyan (University of Massachusetts) Emil Yuzbashyan (Rutgers University) The field of far from equilibrium many-body quantum systems is on the verge of a breakthrough both theoretically … Read more

Organized by: Simon Catterall (Syracuse) Juven Wang (CMSA, Harvard) Yi-Zhuang You (UCSD) David Tong (DAMTP, Cambridge) The most common mechanism for generating fermion masses arises when scalar fields acquire vacuum expectation values in theories with Yukawa interactions. Such a mechanism is necessarily associated with the spontaneous breaking of symmetries. However, recent work in both the … Read more

Organizing by: Tom Bridgeland (University of Sheffield, UK) Samuel Grushevsky (Stony Brook University, USA) Andrew Neitzke (Yale University, USA) Martin Moeller (Universitaet Frankfurt, Germany) This workshop in Mathematics inspired by a circle of ideas originating in quantum field theory and string theory, particularly the study of the quantum field theories “of class S”. These field … Read more

Organizing by: • Lakshya Bhardwaj (University of Oxford) • Xie Chen (Caltech) • Wenjie Ji (Caltech) • Apoorv Tiwari (Neils Bohr Institute) • Xiao-Gang Wen (MIT) Symmetry is arguably the central pillar of theoretical physics. Its applications are ubiquitous, ranging from constraining the particle content of the Standard Model to underpinning Landau’s classification of phases … Read more

Organizing by: Sayed Ali Akbar Ghorashi (Stony Brook University) Jennifer Cano (Stony Brook University Masatoshi Sato (Yukawa institute and Kyoto University) Titus Neupert (Zurich) Shinsei Ryu (Princeton) Over the last few years there has been a new resurrection of non-Hermitian physics across various fields in both classical and quantum physics, ranging from condensed matter, atomic … Read more

Organized by: Ben Hoare (Durham University) Charlotte Kristjansen (Niels Bohr Institute) Andrew O’Bannon (SUNY Old Westbury) Alessandro Sfondrini (Padova University) Daniel C. Thompson (Swansea University) Exactly-solvable models are a cornerstone of theoretical physics: they allow a detailed understanding of new phenomena and provide the starting point for all approximations and numerics. These models have long … Read more

Organized by: Yang-Hui He (London Institute for Mathematical Sciences) Abhiram Kidambi (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics, Leipzig) Kyu-Hwan Lee (University of Connecticut) Thomas Oliver (University of Westminster) Mathematicians have studied elliptic curves for many decades, owing to their beautiful abstract structure, powerful applications in number theory and algebraic geometry, and practical relevance in cryptography. It … Read more
