Gauged Sigma-Models in Two Dimensions: November 3 – 7, 2014

Organized by Sergei Gukov, Nuno Romao, and Samson Shatashvili Dates: November 3 – 7, 2014 Gauged sigma-models from Riemann surfaces to Kaehler targets have been an important ingredient in recent developments at the crossroads of quantum field theory, geometry and topology. Of particular interest are models that exhibit self-duality, since they are more amenable to rigorous treatment — they … Read more

Geometric Flows

Geometric Flows Organized by Simon Brendle, Xiuxiong Chen, Simon Donaldson, and Yuanqi Wang October 13 – December 19, 2014 Since its invention in 1982, Hamilton’s Ricci flow has become a central tool in global differential geometry. In particular, the Ricci flow has played a central role in Perelman’s proof of the Poincare conjecture, as well … Read more

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
