Turbulent and laminar flows in two dimensions: March 20 – April 21, 2017

Organized by: Gregory Falkovich and Alexander Zamolodchikov Fluid mechanics in two dimensions has wide range of applications and possesses unique mathematical properties which are far from being fully explored and used. A landmark feature of turbulence in two dimensions is an inverse cascade, that is an appearance of large vortices and jets out of multi-scale … Read more

Mathematics of gauge fields: October 10, 2016 – April 28, 2017

Organized by: Simon Donaldson, Kenji Fukaya, and John Morgan The program will focus on various mathematical aspects of gauge theory, including applications to topology and geometry. This area of study began when Donaldson showed how to use the moduli space of ASD connections on auxiliary SU(2)-bundles of charge one on a Riemannian 4-manifold to study … Read more

Spring 2016 – Seminar Series “Mathematics and Physics of Calogero-Moser-Sutherland systems”

Organized by: Nikita Nekrasov, Alexander Turbiner and Alexander Abanov Timing: Spring 2016 Abstract: Calogero-Moser-Sutherland many-body systems arose originally in the 1970’s simultaneously in Nuclear Physics, Mathematical Physics and Solid State Physics. Since then they were found in some incarnations in diverse branches of physics and mathematics such as the theory of quantum Hall effect, Yang-Mills … Read more

SCGP Weekly Talks – Spring 2016

Organized by Alexander Abanov SCGP Weekly Talks is a colloquium style series of talks aimed at all members and visitors of the Simons Center and the more general math and physics community on Stony Brook campus. The regular time and place for the talks are Tuesday, 1pm. During the workshops at the Center the talks … Read more

Penrose Tiling

The paving pattern outside the ground entrance to the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics follows a design invented by Roger Penrose in the early 1970s; the design comes from his solution to the problem of finding the smallest number of tile shapes that can only tile non-periodically: the entire pattern never repeats, no matter how far … Read more

Entanglement and Dynamical Systems: September 7 – December 16, 2016

Organized By: Chris Herzog, Vladimir Korepin and Bruno Nachtergaele.   Entanglement is the property of quantum states that most clearly distinguishes them from classical states. Entanglement is responsible for the fascinating effects in the low-temperature states of matter and the phase transitions between them that are the subject of much research in experimental and theoretical … Read more
