Simons Math Summer Workshop

Welcome to the webpage of the Simons Math Summer Workshop.

This annual workshop began in 2023 and has been a feature of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook ever since. The Center’s mission is to develop the interaction of geometry in the broadest sense with theoretical physics, and is rooted in a long tradition of engagement between Mathematics and Physics here at Stony Brook, and ultimately in the centuries-long history of these two fields. The Stony Brook tradition is exemplified by the joint ITP-Math seminars initiated by Jim Simons and Frank Yang in the 1970’s; these stimulated interest worldwide in the mathematics of gauge theories.

Please join us for the 4th Simons Math Summer Workshop: Algebraic methods in probability – July 6 – 24, 2026.  For more information or to apply please visit https://scgp.stonybrook.edu/archives/45985.

4th Simons Math Summer Workshop: Algebraic methods in probability- July 6 – 24, 2026

Organized By: Alexei Borodin (MIT) Ivan Corwin (Columbia) Evita Nestoridi (Stony Brook) Much of probability theory is concerned with understanding phenomena and structure that emerges in large, complex systems driven by disorder. This understanding is often first established for special example systems that are analyzable due to hidden connections to algebra. This summer workshop will … Read more

2023 Simons Math Summer Workshop: August 7-25, 2023

The Simons Center is happy to announce the 1st annual Simons math summer workshop.  The workshop will take place from August 7-25, 2023, and will bring together mathematicians working in a circle of related areas, to learn more about the techniques and results of nearby lines of research.
