Mathematics of topological phases of matter: May 1- June 23, 2017

Organized by: Lukasz Fidkowski, Dan Freed, and Anton Kapustin May 1 – June 23, 2017 Over the last decade there has been a lot of progress in understanding gapped quantum phases of matter. To a large extent this progress has been achieved by exploiting connections to seemingly unrelated areas of mathematical physics, such as Topological … Read more

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
