Einstein 4-Manifolds and Gravitational Instantons: January 5- February 6, 2026

Organized by Lars Andersson (BIMSA) and Claude LeBrun (Stony Brook) This program will bring together a constellation of the world’s experts on Einstein 4-manifolds and gravitational instantons. Recall that a Riemannian manifold is said to be Einstein if its Ricci curvature, considered as a function on the unit tangent bundle, is constant. However, dimension four … Read more

50 years of the black hole information paradox: November 3 -7 , 2025

Organized by: Niayesh Afshordi, Emil Martinec and Samir D. Mathur 50 years ago Stephen Hawking published his famous paper arguing that the evaporation of black holes violated quantum unitarity. In the intervening decades, the puzzle, known as the black hole information paradox, has become an intense focus of interest. However, different parts of the community … Read more
