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

Riemannian Convergence Theory: November 9 – 13, 2015

Organized by Simon Donaldson, Kenji Fukaya, Hans-Joachim Hein, Song Sun Dates: November 9 – 13, 2015 The subject of the workshop is the Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of sequences of Riemannian manifolds under a variety of curvature and other natural geometric bounds. Such Gromov-Hausdorff limits are typically highly singu- lar metric spaces. By studying their regularity properties, … Read more

Fall 2015 – Seminar Series: Mathematics and Physics of Calogero-Moser-Sutherland systems.

Organized by: Nikita Nekrasov, Alexander Turbiner and Alexander Abanov. Timing: Spring 2015/Fall 2015 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, … Read more
