Application for workshop is now closed. Organized by Krzysztof Gawedzki, Boris Khesin, and Paul Wiegmann Dates: May 19 – 23, 2014 Geometric and group-theoretic methods lie at the foundation of modern studies in hydrodynamics.  Recent applications of fluid dynamics require understanding of fundamental  symmetries of fluids and infinite-dimensional groups featured by hydrodynamical equations. The geometric and topological hydrodynamics is a … Read more

Application for workshop is now closed. May 12-16, 2014, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics Organizing Committee: Eduardo Gonzalez, University of Massachusetts at Boston, eduardo@math.umb.edu Chris Woodward, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, ctw@math.rutgers.edu Workshop Description: The focus of the workshop will be on new developments in Landau-Ginzburg mirrors of varieties with group action, quasimap and gauged … Read more

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

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

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
