The Everests of Mathematics. A Conversation with Phillip Griffiths

Ron Donagi and Phillip Griffiths visited the Simons Center in April, 2023, for the Simons collaboration conference on Homological Mirror Symmetry. Crossing paths once again, they took the opportunity for a conversation about their early days at Harvard, Griffiths work in Hodge theory, his role as Director of the Institute of Advanced Study and initiative promoting science in developing countries, and the future of interdisciplinary mathematics.

Homological Methods in Quantum Field Theory: September 29 – October 3, 2014

Application for workshop  is now closed. Organized by Kevin Costello, Ryan Grady, Owen Gwilliam, and Si Li Dates: September 29 – October 3, 2014 The Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism is a powerful method for constructing quantum field theories, notably gauge and supergravity theories. Recently, the language of derived geometry and homotopical algebra has provided a deeper interpretation … Read more

Interactions of Homotopy Theory and Algebraic Topology with Physics through Algebra and Geometry

Interactions of Homotopy Theory and Algebraic Topology with Physics through Algebra and Geometry Organized by John Morgan and Dennis Sullivan October 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015 While activities will depend on the visitors for their specific focus, we expect them to be organized around several general themes: (i) rigorous approaches to perturbative quantum field theories, and especially to gauge theories … Read more
