Scientific Organizer: Cumrun Vafa (Harvard), Local Organizer: Martin Rocek (CN Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics) The Simons Physics Summer Workshop is the Eighteenth conducted by the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook and the twenty-third in the series Simons Physics Summer Workshops. This year, the Simons Summer Workshop in Physics will focus … Read more
Organized by: Thomas Dumitrescu (UCLA) Ethan Neil (University of Colorado) Zohar Komargodski (SCGP) Francesco Sannino (University of Southern Denmark) Mithat Unsal (North Carolina State University) Quantum Field Theory (QFT) provides the universal language for modem physics, yet our understanding is severely limited in the non-perturbative regime where interactions are strong. This fundamental challenge is not … Read more
Organized by: Scott Collier (Syracuse University) Gerald Dunne (University of Connecticut) Michael Gutperle (UCLA) Nikita Nekrasov (SCGP) Maxim Zabzine (Uppsala University) One deforms the contour of path integration into the complex domain, so as to achieve better approximation, and more ambitiously, potentially exact results. The saddle points of the analytically continued action functional dominate the … Read more
Organized by: Dima Dudko (SBU) Edson de Faria (University of Sao Paulo) Kostya Khanin (University of Toronto) Misha Lyubich (SBU) Marco Martens (SBU) The goal of the Workshop is to bring together researchers working on various aspects of Renormalization in Dynamical Systems. Fifty years ago, the Renormalization was introduced in Dynamics in the works of … Read more
Organized by: Dima Dudko (SBU) Edson de Faria (University of Sao Paulo) Kostya Khanin (BIMSA) Misha Lyubich (SBU) Marco Martens (SBU) Since its introduction 50 years ago, the concept of Dynamical Renormalization (originally motivated by Renormalization in Physics) has become a fundamental tool in Dynamical Systems. The Program highlights recent advances of this theme, with … Read more
Organized by: Sheel Ganatra (USC) Yusuf Barış Kartal (National University of Singapore) Adeel Khan (Academia Sinica) John Pardon (SCGP) Quantum geometry studies the quantization of classical invariants such as cohomology or intersection numbers, i.e. structures such as quantum cohomology and Lagrangian Floer theory in algebraic and symplectic geometry. Many recent developments in quantum geometry have … Read more
Organized by: Nikolay Bobev (KU Leuven) Michela Petrini (Sorbonne University) Silviu Pufu (Princeton University) Henning Samtleben (ENS Lyon) Oscar Varela (Utah State) Geometric techniques like generalized geometry and exceptional field theory provide a powerful formalism that efficiently describes the low-energy regime of string theory. Modern QFT methods like the bootstrap program, supersymmetric localization and advances … Read more
Organized By: Alexei Borodin (MIT) Ivan Corwin (Columbia) Evita Nestoridi (Stony Brook) Much of probability theory is concerned with understanding phenomena and structure that emerges in large, complex systems driven by disorder. This understanding is often first established for special example systems that are analyzable due to hidden connections to algebra. This summer workshop will … Read more
Organized by: Theodore Drivas (Stony Brook) Gregory Falkovich (Weizmann) Vladimir Rosenhaus (CUNY) Vlad Vicol (NYU) The last decade has seen significant progress in the studies of turbulence, understood widely as a far-from-equilibrium state of a system with many degrees of freedom. This is due, in particular, to the two just-finished Simons collaborations, one on wave … Read more
