Organizing by: • Sayed Ali Akbar Ghorashi (Stony Brook University) • Jennifer Cano (Stony Brook University) • Masatoshi Sato (Yukawa institute and Kyoto University) • Titus Neupert (Zurich) • Shinsei Ryu (Princeton) Over the last few years there has been a new resurrection of non-Hermitian physics across various fields in both classical and quantum physics, … Read more
Organizing by: • Lakshya Bhardwaj (University of Oxford) • Xie Chen (Caltech) • Wenjie Ji (Caltech) • Apoorv Tiwari (Neils Bohr Institute) • Xiao-Gang Wen (MIT) Symmetry is arguably the central pillar of theoretical physics. Its applications are ubiquitous, ranging from constraining the particle content of the Standard Model to underpinning Landau’s classification of phases … Read more

Organized by: Denis Bernard (ENS, Paris) Massimiliano Gubinelli (University of Oxford) Antti Kuipianen (University of Helsinki) Nikita Nekrasov (SCGP) Remi Rhodes (Aix-Marseille University) In recent years, new probabilistic methods were developed to offer a rigorous approach to constructing Euclidean path integral measures for several interacting quantum field theories, including the Liouville theory in d=2 and … 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: 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: 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
