Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Kenji Fukaya, Dusa McDuff, and John Morgan Dates: March 17 – 21, 2014 This workshop will study various constructions of the virtual moduli cycle with the aim of clarifying exactly how to count pseudoholomorphic curves. Mostly it will look at the simplest case: that of closed … Read more
PLEASE NOTE: In this year, its first year, the school will be by invitation only and is not open to the public. Organized by Andrew Millis Dates: June 9 – 13, 2014 The Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem brings together scientists focused on developing new ways to solve the quantum mechanical equations governing … Read more
Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Kenji Fukaya, Dusa McDuff, and John Morgan. Dates: June 2 – 6, 2014 This workshop is an integral part of the program entitled “Moduli Spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves and their applications to symplectic topology.” The program and the workshop focus on two basic approaches to understanding the … Read more

Organized by Chris Herzog, Kristan Jensen, Dmitri Kharzeev, Shinsei Ryu, and Dam Son. Dates: February 17 – 21, 2014 The past decade has seen an unexpected revolution in both our understanding of and interest in relativistic hydrodynamics (RH). This revival was originally motivated by applications to the phenomenology of relativistic heavy-ion collisions as well as … Read more
Application for workshop is now closed. We are pleased to announce the 2014 Summer Simons Workshop in Mathematics and Physics from July 21 to August 15, 2014. This workshop is the seventh conducted by the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University. The Center’s mission is to develop the interaction of geometry … Read more
Organized by Barbara Jacak, Chris Herzog, Dima Kharzeev, and Nikita Nekrasov. Dates: February 24 – 28, 2014 The non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly coupled systems has recently emerged as a focal point of interest in many areas of physics. In nuclear physics, this interest stems from the need to describe the early moments of heavy ion … Read more
Organized by Mark de Cataldo, Alexander Kirillov, Jr., and Robert Lazarsfeld. Dates: November 18 – 22, 2013 Given a smooth algebraic surface X, the collection of all n-tuples of points on X (or, more precisely, finite subschemes of X of length n) are parametrized by the punctual Hilbert scheme of X. Over the past two decades. … Read more
Organized by Zvi Bern, Lance Dixon, Michael Douglas, Alexander Goncharov, and Lionel Mason. Dates: December 9 – 13, 2013 The study of scattering amplitudes in relativistic quantum field theory has undergone a remarkable renaissance and transformation in recent years, with many remarkable and unexpected interactions with diverse areas of mathematics. This meeting aims to review … Read more
