Dynamical Renormalization and MLC: January 4 – March 5, 2027

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

Interactions between quantum and homotopical geometry: October 12 – December 18, 2026

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
