Organized by: Lara B. Anderson, David Baraglia, Laura P. Schaposnik, and Vivek Shende Dates: June 13 – 17, 2016 The aim of this workshop is to connect recent developments and open questions in the study of branes in the moduli space of Higgs bundles with other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics: differential and algebraic … Read more
Organized by: Simon Donaldson, Kenji Fukaya, and John Morgan, Recent Developments in the Mathematical Study of Gauge Theory: The workshop will focus on geometrical and analytical aspects Gauge Theories beyond the `classical’ cases of SU(2)- and SO(3)-gauge theory in dimensions 3 and 4. Topics will include gauge theory on complex manifolds and on manifolds with … Read more
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
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. The … Read more
Join Chef Paolo on Tuesday, May 3rd at 6pm in the SCGP Café for a “Spring Forward” themed cooking demonstration and tasting.
Organized by: Sasha Abanov, Tankut Can, Anton Kapustin and Paul Wiegmann This workshop marks the start of the program “Geometry of Quantum Hall States” at the SCGP. While the program mostly focuses on recent advances in the geometric approach to the quantum Hall effect, the purpose of the workshop is to encourage a broader discussion … Read more

Organized by: Gregory Falkovich, Alexander Zamolodchikov and Leonid Levitov Fluid mechanics in two dimensions has wide range of applications and possesses unique mathematical properties which are far from being fully explored and used. Even laminar and regular flows in two dimensions are of great interest ranging from microfluidics to emerging hydrodynamics of current flows in … Read more
