Supersymmetric Black Holes, Holography and Microstate Counting: October 31-November 4, 2022

Organized by: Cyril Closset (University of Birmingham), Leopoldo Pando Zayas (Michigan U.), Luigi Tizzano (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Chiara Toldo (Harvard University), Alberto Zaffaroni (Milano Bicocca U.) These activities will be dedicated to the study of supersymmetric black holes in holography from both sides of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Holography provides a powerful framework which allows … Read more

5d N=1 SCFTs and Gauge Theories on Brane Webs: October 17 – October 21, 2022

Organized by: Amihay Hanany (Imperial College London), Marcus Sperling (Tsinghua University), Antoine Bourget (Imperial College London), Julius Grimminger (Imperial College London) Five dimensional (5d) Lagrangian gauge theories are non-renormalizable, however many 5d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories can be understood as effective infrared (IR) descriptions of 5d or 6d conformal fixed points in the ultraviolet (UV) under … Read more

From Representation Theory to Mathematical Physics and Back: May 31-June 4, 2022

Organized by: Pavel Etingof (MIT), Mikhail Khovanov (Columbia University), Alexander Kirillov (Stony Brook), Anna Lachowska (EPFL, Switzerland), Ivan Loseu (Yale), Andrew Neitzke (Yale), Joshua Sussan (CUNY Medgar Evers), Anton Zeitlin (Louisiana State University) The theme of the meeting is the continued influence of mathematics and physics on each other. In particular, the workshop will highlight … Read more

Dynamics of SCFTs and Special Functions: April 18-22, 2022

Organized by: Shlomo Sergei Razamat (Technion), Masahito Yamazaki (Kavli IPMU, Tokyo) Recent years have seen significant progress in understanding the dynamics of supersymmetric quantum field theories in various space-time dimensions. This progress was partly due to the development of various localization techniques leading to exact computations of certain partition functions. Such computations can be expressed … Read more

Geometric Representation Theory, Integrability, and Supersymmetric Gauge Theories: September 26 – September 30, 2022

Organized by: Peter Koroteev (University of California, Berkeley), Elli Pomoni (DESY), Benoit Vicedo (University of York), Dmytro Volin (NORDITA), Anton Zeitlin (Louisiana State University) Recent progress in the study of supersymmetric gauge theories provided nontrivial relations between various aspects of modern representation theory. That involves quantum groups and related integrable models which appear in different … Read more
