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
Organized by: Meng Cheng (Yale University) Chao-Ming Jian (Cornell University) Nathanan Tantivasadakarn (Caltech) Romain Vasseur (University of Massachusetts Amherst) Dominic Williamson (University of Sydney and IBM) The central goal of quantum matter research is to discover and decipher the universal collective behavior of quantum many-body systems, captured by the notion of quantum phases. A common … Read more
Organized by: Thomas Hartman (Cornell) Zohar Komargodski (SCGP) Gregoire Mathys (EPFL) Ian Moult (Yale) This workshop will explore the recent developments in the study of energy operators in particle physics, Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and gravity. In particle physics, correlation functions of energy operators are collider physics observables used for precision measurements of parameters of … Read more

Organizers: Lilia Anguelova (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) Michele Cicoli (Bologna University) Vivian Miranda (Stony Brook University) Sonia Paban (University of Texas at Austin) Francisco Gil Pedro (Bologna University) Recent astronomical observations have reshaped profoundly the modern understanding of the Universe, regarding not only its contents but also its origin and future fate. The surprising discovery … Read more
WEEK 1: THE SYZ CONJECTURE AND COLLAPSING CALABI-YAU MANIFOLDS The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) conjecture dates from 1996. It was proposed as a geometric mechanism underlying mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. The proposal is that, at least near the “large complex structure” limit in moduli space, a Calabi-Yau manifold has a fibration whose generic fibers are Special … Read more
The Simons Center is happy to announce the 1st annual Simons math summer workshop. The workshop will take place from August 7-25, 2023, and will bring together mathematicians working in a circle of related areas, to learn more about the techniques and results of nearby lines of research.
