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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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
Organized by: Evita Nestoridi ( Stony Brook University) Dominik Schmid ( Bonn University) Markov chains serve as indispensable tools for generating random structures, such as graph colorings, vector space bases, and polygon triangulations. Mixing times capture the temporal evolution towards equilibrium. Of particular interest is the abrupt transition from unmixed to mixed – the cutoff … Read more
