Milestones and Prizes

Congratulations to John Pardon on winning the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize for important results in geometry and topology, particularly in the field of symplectic geometry and pseudo-holomorphic curves, which are certain types of smooth surfaces in manifolds.

New Structures Found Within Quantum Field Theory. Interview with Professor Nikita Nekrasov

“We thought we understood quantum field theory—but there are still profound structures waiting to be uncovered.” — Professor Nikita Nekrasov In this in-depth interview, Professor Nikita Nekrasov discusses newly discovered structures within quantum field theory, shedding light on their mathematical foundations and physical significance. A must-watch for researchers and students interested in gauge theory, integrable … Read more

Confinement and QCD Strings: November 10 – 12, 2025

Organized by Igor Klebanov, Zohar Komargodski, Raju Venugopalan The workshop will cover a range of topics related to confining gauge theories, and non-perturbative QFT more broadly. Topics will include aspects of lattice gauge theory models, corrections to the Nambu-Goto action and the S-matrix bootstrap for confining strings, generalized symmetries on the lattice and in the … Read more
