Quintessentially Science Fiction. An Interview with Eugenio Calabi, Hosted by Claude LeBrun, on Behalf of the Simons Center.
Claude LeBrun, Stony Brook Mathematics Department, conducted an interview with Eugenio Calabi. This interview is partly intended as a celebration of the recent award of the Veblen Prize to Simons Center and Stony Brook faculty members Simon Donaldson, Xiuxiong Chen, and Song Sun but will also help us remember Calabi’s personal role in the story.
Fuzzy Sphere Meets Bootstrap, November 6-8, 2023
Organized by Yin-Chen He, Zohar Komargodski, Leonardo Rastelli, and Slava Rychkov Conformal field theories (CFTs) represent a vital class of quantum field theories with wide-ranging applications, from quantum gravity to critical phenomena in both classical and quantum matter. CFTs in 3D and higher dimensions are strongly interacting, thus requiring the employment of non-perturbative tools. One such … Read more
