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.

Graduate Workshop on Geometry of Hilbert schemes: November 18 – 22, 2013

Organized by Mark de Cataldo, Alexander Kirillov, Jr., and Robert Lazarsfeld. Dates: November 18 – 22, 2013   Given a smooth algebraic surface X, the collection of all n-tuples of points on X (or, more precisely, finite subschemes of X of length n) are parametrized by the punctual Hilbert scheme of X. Over the past two decades. … Read more
