2023 Simons Math Summer Workshop: Lecture Topics
WEEK 1: THE SYZ CONJECTURE AND COLLAPSING CALABI-YAU MANIFOLDS The Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) conjecture dates from 1996. It was proposed as a geometric mechanism underlying mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau manifolds. The proposal is that, at least near the “large complex structure” limit in moduli space, a Calabi-Yau manifold has a fibration whose generic fibers are Special … Read more
Nikita Nekrasov Awarded 2023 Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics
“We are very happy that Professor Nekrasov was awarded this amply merited recognition—probably the highest recognition in Mathematical Physics. He has made groundbreaking contributions in several areas of advanced quantum field theory, integrable systems, and in the use of powerful mathematical techniques to shed light into rather deep areas of field theory and string theory. … Read more
