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.

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

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

Remote Workshop: Ending Inflation and the Hot Big Bang: November 19, 2021

Organized by: Peter Adshead (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Jonathan Heckman (University of Pennsylvania), Marilena Loverde (YITP), Patrick Meade (CN Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics), Scott Watson (Syracuse University) This workshop is aimed at filling the gap in our cosmic history – from the end of inflation to the beginning of big bang nucleosynthesis. The … Read more
