Categorification in Mathematical Physics: April 9 – 13, 2018
Organized by: Eugene Gorsky, Sergei Gukov, Mikhail Khovanov, Andrei Negut, and Piotr Sułkowski Categorification is one of the deepest ideas in contemporary mathematics. As the name indicates, it aims to generalize various statements to a categorical level, replacing sets by categories, functions by functors, etc. It led to important developments in various branches of mathematics, … Read more
Mass in General Relativity: March 26 – 30, 2018
Workshop: Mass in General Relativity March 26-30, 2018 Organized by: Piotr Chrusciel, Richard Schoen, Christina Sormani, Mu-Tao Wang, and Shing-Tung Yau Due to the equivalence principle and the lack of an absolute space, the understanding of the fundamental notion of mass in general relativity has been subtle since Einstein’s time. Arnowitt-Deser-Misner gave the well-defined definition … Read more

Applied Newton-Cartan geometry: March 6-10, 2017
Organized by: Eric Bergshoeff, Gary Gibbons, Rob Leigh, Djordje Minic, and Dam Thanh Son. Recent studies of non-AdS holography involving Lifshitz spacetimes have led to a boundary conformal field theory coupled to an extension of Newton-Cartan geometry that includes twistless torsion. At the same time, effective field theories in Newton-Cartan backgrounds have been studied and … Read more
SCGP Remembers Ludwig Faddeev: March 23, 1934 – February 26, 2017
Ludwig Faddeev, one of the greatest mathematical physicists of the 20th century, passed away in the morning of February 26, 2017. Ludwig Faddeev made a enormous impact in the mathematical studies of quantum field theory. Just to mention a few: his work with V. Popov on quantum non-abelian gauge theory made the Feynman diagram expansion meaningful, … Read more
