Tau Functions, Correlation Functions and Applications: August 30 – September 3, 2021 (Remote Event)

Organized by: Marco Bertola (Concordia University and SISSA), John Harnad (Centre de recherches mathematiques), Jacques Hurtubise (McGill University), Alexander Its (IUPUI) Dmitry Korotkin (Concordia University)  Tau functions are key ingredients in the modern theory of integrable systems. In the classical  dynamical systems setting, they appear as generating functions for solutions of integrable hierarchies, such as … 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
