Milestones and Prizes

Congratulations to John Pardon on winning the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize for important results in geometry and topology, particularly in the field of symplectic geometry and pseudo-holomorphic curves, which are certain types of smooth surfaces in manifolds.

Simons Summer Workshop 2017 – Strings and QFT without SUSY

By Yakov Landau  The Annual Simons Summer Workshop held at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics is one of the Center’s scientific highlights of the year. In its 15th year, this summer’s topic was “Strings and QFT Without SUSY.” However, as one speaker pointed out, this is as broad a subject as non-giraffe biology, … Read more

Institute for Advanced Computational Science Joint Science Meeting, May 21 – 23

The “Joint Science Meeting” is the central enabling activity of the partnership between the Tokyo Institute of technology and Stony Brook University as we pursue our common interests in science, engineering, technology, and especially the education and preparation of students. It is an opportunity for our faculty and students, as well as our external collaborators, to share … Read more

Holomorphic Differentials in Mathematics and Physics: February 4 – 8, 2019

  Organized by Jayadev Athreya, Steve Bradlow, Sergei Gukov, Andy Neitzke, Anna Wienhard, and Anton Zorich   Holomorphic differentials on Riemann surfaces have long held a distinguished place in low dimensional geometry, dynamics and representation theory. Recently it has become apparent that they constitute a common feature of several other highly active areas of current … Read more

Convergence and Low Regularity in General Relativity: April 29-May 3, 2019

Workshop: Convergence and Low Regularity in General Relativity April 29-May 3, 2019 Organized by: Philippe LeFloch, Jeff Jauregui, Mike Anderson, Christina Sormani To truly address the many open questions that persist in Mathematical General Relativity, one cannot restrict oneself to smooth metrics and strong notions of convergence.   One must apply Lebesgue, Sobolev, Sormani-Wenger Intrinsic … Read more
