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.

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
