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.

Six-vertex model, dimers, shapes, and all that: March 14 – 18, 2016

Organized by: Pavel Bleher, Vladimir Korepin and Bernard Nienhuis Dates: March 14-18, 2016 The workshop will be devoted to recent results on the six-vertex and related models. The bulk free energy in the six-vertex model was explicitly calculated for periodic boundary conditions by Lieb. Then other boundary conditions were studied. A very interesting case is … Read more

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
