The Everests of Mathematics. A Conversation with Phillip Griffiths

Ron Donagi and Phillip Griffiths visited the Simons Center in April, 2023, for the Simons collaboration conference on Homological Mirror Symmetry. Crossing paths once again, they took the opportunity for a conversation about their early days at Harvard, Griffiths work in Hodge theory, his role as Director of the Institute of Advanced Study and initiative promoting science in developing countries, and the future of interdisciplinary mathematics.

Between Dynamics and Spectral Theory: June 6 – 10, 2016

Organized by: William Yessen and Zhenghe Zhang Dates: June 6 – 10, 2016 The study of 1D discrete Schroedinger equation lies across physics, spectral theory, and dynamical systems. It models the motion of a quantum particle in a disordered medium. The evolution of motion is studied via the spectral theory of the Schroedinger operator. For … Read more

Stochastic Partial Differential Equations: May 16 – 20, 2016

Organized by Martin Hairer Stochastic partial differential equations allow to describe phenomena that vary in both space and time and are subject to random influences. They arise naturally in a variety of contexts, including the description of the large-scale behaviour of random systems in statistical mechanics, the modelling of forward interest rates, the description of … Read more

Generalized Geometry & T-dualities: May 9 -13, 2016

Organized by Marco Gualtieri, Nigel Hitchin, Ctirad Klimcik, Yolanda Lozano, Eoin Ó Colgáin, Martin Rocek, Konstantinos Sfetsos, and Daniel Thompson Dates: May 9 – 13, 2016 Over the last few years we have witnessed a resurgence of interest in geometrical facets of T-duality, with developments coming thick and fast on a number of fronts.
