Organized by: David Auckly (Kansas State) Aliakbar Daemi (Washington Univ-St Louis) Olga Plamenevskaya (Stony Brook University) Daniel Ruberman (Brandeis) Nikolai Saveliev (University of Miami) In the 1980s, Donaldson introduced methods of Yang–Mills gauge theory in topology, with remarkable applications. By the 1990s, research largely shifted away from Donaldson theory to Seiberg–Witten theory, and, a few … Read more

Organized by: Qile Chen (Boston College) Felix Janda (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Sheldon Katz (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) Melissa Liu (Columbia University) John Pardon (SCGP) Rachel Webb (Cornell University) Modern curve-counting theories were in part inspired by the work of physicists yet have active lives of their own as interesting and rich mathematical notions with … Read more

Organized by: Elena Giorgi (Columbia University) Alexandru Ionescu (Princeton University) Avy Soffer (Rutgers University) Maxime Van de Moortel (Rutgers University) This workshop will bring together leaders in the fields of Hyperbolic & Dispersive PDEs and General Relativity. The latter group comprises influential figures from both Mathematics and Physics communities. Our overarching objective is two-fold: to … Read more

Organized by: Nikita Nekrasov (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, Stony Brook University) Vladimir Korepin (C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, Stony Brook University) Stefano Negro (University of York) Sergei Lukyanov (Rutgers University) Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is an indispensable tool in modern theoretical physics. It is essential to the study of particle physics and … Read more

Organized by: Matthias Kaminski (Alabama) Natalie Klco (Duke) Berndt Mueller (Duke) Andreas Schaefer (Regensburg) Sebastian Waeber (Technion) Laurence Yaffe (U Washington) This workshop will survey new insights and future challenges of some foundational problems of theoretical physics, including the evolution of entanglement and complexity in isolated quantum systems. Our aim is to confront recent insights … Read more

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
