Milestones and Prizes

Congratulations to John Pardon on winning the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize for important results in geometry and topology, particularly in the field of symplectic geometry and pseudo-holomorphic curves, which are certain types of smooth surfaces in manifolds.

Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories, Vertex Operator Algebras, and Geometry: March 17th – April 18th, 2025

Organized by: Tomoyuki Arakawa (Kyoto University) Christopher Beem (University of Oxford) Thomas Creutzig (University of Albert)  Leonardo Rastelli (Stony Brook University) Brandon Rayhaun (Stony Brook University) Supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs) have been intensely researched by both physicists and mathematicians for decades. For physicists, they furnish computationally and conceptually tractable models from which one may … Read more

Recent Developments on Mixing Times: March 17-21, 2025

Organized by: Evita Nestoridi ( Stony Brook University) Dominik Schmid ( Bonn University) Markov chains serve as indispensable tools for generating random structures, such as graph colorings, vector space bases, and polygon triangulations. Mixing times capture the temporal evolution towards equilibrium. Of particular interest is the abrupt transition from unmixed to mixed – the cutoff … Read more

Symplectic Singularities, Supersymmetric QFT, and Geometric Representation Theory: March 31st – April 4, 2025.

Organized by: Tomoyuki Arakawa (Kyoto University) Christopher Beem (University of Oxford) Antoine Bourget (IPhT Saclay), Thomas Creutzig (University of Alberta) Julius Grimminger (University of Oxford) Daniel Juteau (LAMFA, Université de Picardie) Paul Levy (Lancaster University) Leonardo Rastelli (Stony Brook University) Brandon Rayhaun (Stony Brook University) Alex Weekes (University of Saskatchewan) Supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs) … Read more

Hyperbolic & Dispersive Equations on Curved Geometries: Connections to Physics and General Relativity: April 7-11, 2025

Organized by: Elena Giorgi (Columbia University) Alexandru Ionescu (Princeton University) Avy Soffer (Rutgers University) Maxime Van de Moortel (Rutgers University) This workshop will bring together leaders in the fields of Hyperbolic & Dispersive PDEs and General Relativity. The latter group comprises influential figures from both Mathematics and Physics communities. Our overarching objective is two-fold: to … Read more
