Modern Musings on Monopoles – October 20-24, 2025

Organized by: Chris Kottke (Reed College, USA) Nuno M. Romão (IHES, France) Yan Soibelman (Kansas State University, USA) Magnetic monopoles are smooth configurations of fields in nonabelian gauge theories that behave as sources of magnetic flux from a distance. They were introduced by ’t Hooft and Polyakov in independent work published 50 years ago. Shortly … Read more

Double Scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model: From Gravity to Many-Body Quantum Chaos – May 11-15, 2026

Organized by: Micha Berkooz (Weizmann Institute) Barbara Dietz (Institute for Basic Science) Yiyang Jia (Weizmann Institute) Henry Lin (Princeton University Jacobus Verbaarschot (Stony Brook University) The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model has proved to be a fertile ground for many areas of modern physics such as black holes, holography, condensed matter physics and many-body quantum chaos. In … Read more

Supergravity at 50 – June 2-4, 2026

Organized by: Peter van Nieuwenhuizen Dan Freedman Sergio Ferrara Luis Alvarez-Gaume Advisory Committee: Hermann Nicolai Anna Ceresole Paul Townsend Antoine van Proeyen Supergravity is intrinsically associated with Stony Brook. It may well be the most significant physics discovery in the entire history of the Yang Institute. Since 1976, many researchers have worked to generalize the … Read more

Timelike Boundaries in Classical and Quantum Gravity – December 8-12, 2025

Organized by: Michael Anderson (Stony Brook University) Dionysios Anninos (King’s College London) Damian Galante (King’s College London) Edgar Shaghoulian (UC Santa Cruz) Eva Silverstein (Stanford University) Asymptotic boundaries play a crucial role in the theory of general relativity. Foundational examples include the null boundary of asymptotically flat spacetimes and the conformal boundary of Anti-de Sitter … Read more

Einstein 4-Manifolds and Gravitational Instantons: January 5- February 6, 2026

Organized by Lars Andersson (BIMSA) and Claude LeBrun (Stony Brook) This program will bring together a constellation of the world’s experts on Einstein 4-manifolds and gravitational instantons. Recall that a Riemannian manifold is said to be Einstein if its Ricci curvature, considered as a function on the unit tangent bundle, is constant. However, dimension four … Read more

50 years of the black hole information paradox: November 3 – 7 , 2025

Organized by: Niayesh Afshordi, Emil Martinec and Samir D. Mathur 50 years ago Stephen Hawking published his famous paper arguing that the evaporation of black holes violated quantum unitarity. In the intervening decades, the puzzle, known as the black hole information paradox, has become an intense focus of interest. However, different parts of the community … Read more
