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.

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

4th Simons Math Summer Workshop: Algebraic methods in probability – July 6 – 24, 2026

Organized By: Alexei Borodin (MIT) Ivan Corwin (Columbia) Evita Nestoridi (Stony Brook) Much of probability theory is concerned with understanding phenomena and structure that emerges in large, complex systems driven by disorder. This understanding is often first established for special example systems that are analyzable due to hidden connections to algebra. This summer workshop will … Read more
