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.

Energy Operators in Particle Physics, Quantum Field Theory and Gravity: December 16-20, 2024

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

Multifield Cosmology: Inflation, Dark Energy and More: February 5-9, 2024

Organizers: Lilia Anguelova (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) Michele Cicoli (Bologna University) Vivian Miranda (Stony Brook University) Sonia Paban (University of Texas at Austin) Francisco Gil Pedro (Bologna University) Recent astronomical observations have reshaped profoundly the modern understanding of the Universe, regarding not only its contents but also its origin and future fate. The surprising discovery … Read more

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
