Dynamics of SCFTs and Special Functions: April 18-22, 2022
Organized by: Shlomo Sergei Razamat (Technion), Masahito Yamazaki (Kavli IPMU, Tokyo) Recent years have seen significant progress in understanding the dynamics of supersymmetric quantum field theories in various space-time dimensions. This progress was partly due to the development of various localization techniques leading to exact computations of certain partition functions. Such computations can be expressed … Read more
Summer Seminar Series: Applications of gauge topology, holography and string models to QCD: June 7- August 2021
Organizers: Massimo D’Elia, Jeff Greensite, Elias Kiritsis, Zohar Komargodski, Edward Shuryak, Jacob Sonnenschein, Ismail Zahed A workshop on these topics was supposed to start in June 2020 and then again in June 2021 at the Simons Center of Stony Brook University, but this in-person meeting is now canceled. This will mean a roughly three-year gap … Read more

Geometric Representation Theory, Integrability, and Supersymmetric Gauge Theories: September 26 – September 30, 2022
Organized by: Peter Koroteev (University of California, Berkeley), Elli Pomoni (DESY), Benoit Vicedo (University of York), Dmytro Volin (NORDITA), Anton Zeitlin (Louisiana State University) Recent progress in the study of supersymmetric gauge theories provided nontrivial relations between various aspects of modern representation theory. That involves quantum groups and related integrable models which appear in different … Read more
