Organized by Simon Donaldson, Kenji Fukaya, Hans-Joachim Hein, Song Sun Dates: November 9 – 13, 2015 The subject of the workshop is the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of sequences of Riemannian manifolds under a variety of curvature and other natural geometric bounds. Such Gromov-Hausdorff limits are typically highly singu- lar metric spaces. By studying their regularity properties, … Read more

This workshop will highlight future and recent applications of Random Matrix Theory … Read more
Organized by Xiuxiong Chen, Simon Donaldson Following the seminal ideas of Calabi, the existence of extremal and contant scalar curvature is a central problem in Kahler geometry. Over the past 30 years most attention has been paid to the special case of Kahler-Einstein metrics, but there is now renewed interest in the more general situation, … Read more
Symplectic and Algebraic Geometry in the Statistical Physics of Polymers Organized by Jason Cantarella, University of Georgia, Tetsuo Deguchi, Ochanomizu University, Elizabeth Denne, Washington and Lee University, Alexander Grosberg, NYU, Clayton Shonkwiler, Colorado State University. October 12-16, 2015 Polymer physics has a number of deep unanswered questions about ring polymers such as DNA minicircles and polymers … Read more
Dates: September 14-18, 2015 Organized by: Anton Kapustin and Alexander Kirillov Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) was first introduced by Witten at the end of 1980s as physical theory. It was immediately followed by an avalanche of works by many authors, both mathematicians and physicists, among them Atiyah, Reshetikhin and Turaev, Segal,.. who showed TQFT … Read more
