The aim of the workshop is to advance research in the fields of Flavor Tagging and Higgs searches/measurements with b-jets in final states, involving the respective working groups of the ATLAS Collaboration. One day of the workshop will be devoted to open sessions with both theoretical physicists and experimentalists attending. This joint workshop is the … Read more

Organized By: David Eisenbud, David Morrison, Irena Peeva A matrix factorization of an element w in a polynomial or power series ring (more generally, in a local or graded regular commutative ring) is a pair of square matrices (A, B) of the same size such that AB = BA = wE, where E is an … Read more

Organized by: Lukasz Fidkowski, Dan Freed, and Anton Kapustin Previously, phases of matter were mostly classified based on symmetry principles, or purely on the basis of topological properties. Recent developments however have highlighted the interplay of symmetry and topology as manifested by topological insulators and other symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, and by symmetry enrichment … Read more

Organized By: Mohammed Abouzaid, Denis Auroux, Ron Donagi, Kenji Fukaya, Tony Pantev Mirror symmetry’s most spectacular predictions are those about enumerative invariants of Calabi-Yau threefolds, which exhibit intricate structures when studied for all degrees and genera. This workshop will focus on new developments whose goal is to provide a conceptual approach to the study of … Read more
