Automorphic Structures in String Theory: March 4 – April 5, 2019
Organized by Daniel Persson, Terry Gannon, David Ginzburg, Axel Kleinschmidt, Stephen D. Miller, Boris Pioline The purpose of this interdisciplinary program is to investigate connections between string theory, automorphic forms, mock modular forms and beyond. Automorphic representations form a cornerstone of the Langlands program, while at the same time playing a crucial role in understanding the … Read more

Tensor-Network Methods: Structure, Applications and Holography: December 11 – 15, 2017
Organized by: Glen Evenbly (University of Sherbrooke), Roman Orus (Univ. of Mainz), David Perez-Garcia (Univ. Complutense de Marid), Tzu-Chieh Wei (Stony Brook University) Over the past few decades we have witnessed a rapid exchange and infuse of ideas across different fields: from entanglement in quantum information to quantum phase transitions and topological order in many-body … Read more
Exotic Hadrons and Flavor Physics: May 28 – June 1, 2018
Organizers: Exotic Hadrons: Marek Karliner, Jon Rosner and Tomasz Skwarnicki Flavor Physics: Amarjit Soni and George Sterman During the last few years there has been a large number of new experimental discoveries of “exotic” hadrons which do not fit the standard quark model. The mesons among them cannot be constructed out of a quark-antiquark pair … Read more
Geometrical Aspects of Supersymmetry: October 22 – 26, 2018
Organized by Manuela Kulaxizi and Maxim Zabzine Subject of the workshop: Supersymmetry and geometry are tied together in many remarkable ways. Over last 40 years these two fields have influenced each other enormously. Many new interesting geometrical constructions were motivated by the supersymmetry considerations, e.g. the hyperKahler quotiens, generalized Kahler geometry, generalized geometry, T-duality and … Read more
Entanglement and Dynamical Systems: December 10 – 14, 2018
Organized by Israel Klich, Bruno Nachetergaele and Vladimir Korepin December 10-14, 2018. The workshop presents a modern point of view to dynamical systems. It brings together experts in solid state physics, statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum computation, error correcting codes, machine learning, mathematical physics and quantum optics. New exactly solvable spin chains, which came … Read more
Manifesting Invisibles – Solo Exhibition by Lisa Park
October 19, 2017 – January 22, 2018 Curated by Lorraine Walsh
Operator Algebras and Quantum Physics: June 3-30, 2019
Organized by: Stefan Hollands, Vaughan Jones, Gandalf Lechner, Roberto Longo Since Heisenberg’s and Jordan’s “matrix formulation” of quantum mechanics about one hundred years ago, theoretical quantum physics has been a major incentive for mathematical research into operator algebras. The stimulus from physics has helped the development of this field, founded by von Neumann with the … Read more
Progress in quantum collective phenomena – from MBL to black holes: November 13 – 17, 2017
Organized by: Alexander Abanov, Sriram Ganeshan, Kristan Jensen, and Vadim Oganesyan Recent years have witnessed significant progress in understanding the behavior of quantum many-body systems without relying on the age-old assumptions of thermalization or equilibration. Qualitatively new and different real-time dynamics have been found in fields ranging from condensed matter systems to strongly interacting theories … Read more
