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

Organized by: Vasily Pestun and Maxime Zabzine The program will be focusing on the development of localization techniques in quantum field theories and its applications. In particular we want to concentrate on the developments in the field since 2007. The main idea of different localization formulas is that the specific finite dimensional integral can be … Read more

Organized by: Anton Alexeev and Samson Shatashvili The proposed program will touch upon two topics in Mathematics: Poisson geometry of moduli spaces and the theory of associators, and some of the mathematical aspects of quantum field theory. Both the moduli space theory and the associator theory are intimately related to quantum field theory. In particular, … Read more
