A New Collider in our Backyard

US Electron Ion Collider to be Built at Brookhaven National Laboratory  By Abhay Deshpande, Professor, Stony Brook University; Director, EIC Science, Brookhaven National Laboratory Recent news and excitement On January 9, 2020, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) as the site of its future Electron Ion Collider … Read more

Singularity and Prediction in Fluids: May 31-July 1, 2022

Organized by: Theodore D. Drivas (Stony Brook University), Dennis Sullivan (Stony Brook University) Turbulent flows are ubiquitous in the world around us; from trailing airplane wakes to swirling cream in our morning coffee. Despite its prevalence, basic mathematical questions about this complex non-linear phenomenon persist. This is, in part, because fluid motion involves many spatiotemporal … Read more

Continued: Renormalization and Universality in Conformal Geometry, Dynamics, Random Processes, and Field Theory: February 22 – March 19, 2021

Organizers: Dzmitry Dudko, Kostya Khanin and Misha Lyubich The goal of the program is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working on various aspects of renormalization in dynamical systems. The idea of Renormalization group emerged in Quantum Field Theory. Later, in the 1960s, it became a major tool in Statistical Mechanics in analysis of phase … Read more

Birational Geometry and Quantum Invariants: October 30-November 3, 2023

Organized by: Daniel Halpern-Leistner (Cornell) Melissa Liu (Columbia) Mark McLean (Stony Brook) Tony Pantev (UPenn) Daniel Pomerleano (UMass Boston) This Workshop is focused on quantum invariants in birational geometry. The main themes under consideration will be the behavior of quantum cohomology and the Fukaya category under birational transformations. The workshop will also examine Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev-Yu’s recent … Read more
