Recent Advances on Scalar Curvature Problems: June 27 – July 1, 2022

Organized by: Alessandro Carlotto (ETH Zurich), Marcus Khuri (Stony Brook University), Philippe G. LeFloch (Sorbonne Univ.), Rafe Mazzeo (Stanford University) Problems involving the scalar curvature of a Riemannian manifold (prescribed curvature, existence, uniqueness, comparison, convergence, rigidity, regularity, etc.) arise in many areas of mathematics and physics. Over the past decade, there has been spectacular progress … Read more

5d N=1 SCFTs and Gauge Theories on Brane Webs (Postponed)

Organized by: Amihay Hanany (Imperial College London), Marcus Sperling (Southeast U., Nanjing), Antoine Bourget (Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris and IPhT, Saclay), Julius Grimminger (Imperial College London) Five dimensional (5d) Lagrangian gauge theories are non-renormalizable, however many 5d N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories can be understood as effective infrared (IR) descriptions of 5d or 6d conformal fixed points … Read more

Geometry of (S)QFT: September 20-24, 2021 (Remote event)

Organized by: Ibou Bah (Johns Hopkins University), Shlomo Razamat (Technion) Quantum field theory (QFT) is a universal language used to describe a wide variety of phenomena in Nature, including elementary particles, condensed matter systems, and cosmology. Despite its remarkable successes, novel toolkits are needed for exploring the landscape of QFTs and for computing and characterizing … Read more

Sphere Packing and the Conformal Bootstrap: December 14-18, 2020

Organized by Henry Cohn, Thomas Hartman, Dalimil Mazac, Leonardo Rastelli and Maryna Viazovska This workshop will assemble a group of mathematicians and physicists with diverse expertise to explore a new intriguing connection between discrete geometry and quantum field theory. This connection arises from a recent realization that certain powerful linear programming bounds on sphere packings … Read more
