Sphere Packing and the Conformal Bootstrap: December 14-18, 2020
Organized by Henry Cohn, Thomas Hartman, Dalimil Mazac, Leonardo Rastelli and Maryna Viazovska This workshop will assemble a group of mathematicians and physicists with diverse expertise to explore a new intriguing connection between discrete geometry and quantum field theory. This connection arises from a recent realization that certain powerful linear programming bounds on sphere packings […]

Virtual Workshop Floer homology in low-dimensional topology: January 11-15, 2021
Organized by: Matthew Hedden, Tom Mrowka, Olga Plamenevskaya, Jacob Rasmussen This event has been changed to a Zoom Conference. There will be two talks every day (at 1:00pm and 3:00pm, U.S. Eastern Time) as well as informal discussion time following each talk. This workshop will explore topics of current interest in the theory of Floer […]
Continued: Renormalization and Universality in Conformal Geometry, Dynamics, Random Processes, and Field Theory: February 22 – March 19, 2021
Organizers: Dzmitry Dudko, Kostya Khanin and Misha Lyubich The goal of the program is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on various aspects of renormalization in dynamical systems. The idea of Renormalization group emerged in Quantum Field Theory. Later, in the 1960s, it became a major tool in Statistical Mechanics in analysis of phase […]
