Milestones and Prizes

Congratulations to John Pardon on winning the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize for important results in geometry and topology, particularly in the field of symplectic geometry and pseudo-holomorphic curves, which are certain types of smooth surfaces in manifolds.

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

“Broadening the Computer Science Community: Examining successful strategies for significantly increasing diversity in STEM fields”

President Maria Klawe, Harvey Mudd College Thursday, March 9, 2017, 1:30-2:30 pm Simons Center Auditorium Reception to follow in the Simons Center Lobby Abstract: Computing is one of the least diverse disciplines in science and engineering in terms of participation by women, African-Americans and Hispanics, and the only discipline where participation by women has significantly decreased … 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
