This program will be a concentration period to include a school and a conference on “Calculus of Variations and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations” which will bring together research groups from the NSF funded program Focused Research Group (FRG): “Vectorial and geometric problems in the Calculus of Variations” with collaborative structures between Craig Evans, UC Berkeley, Ovidiu Savin, Columbia U, and Alessio Figalli with Francesco Maggi at UT Austin.
The entire two-week program will take place at Columbia University from May 16, 2016 until May 27, 2016 and will involve senior and junior researchers, postdocs and graduate students. During the first week, there will be a school consisting of four minicourses, each five lectures, while the second week will host a conference with a series of one-hour lectures.
Financial support for graduate students/early postdocs is available. Please register below and specify in the comment section whether you plan to attend the school and/or the conference. The deadline for the application is March 31st 2016.

Title: “Geometric categorification in representation theory”.
Abstract: “The Kazhdan-Lusztig conjectures (stated in the late 70’s, proved in 1980) are a celebrated example of a numerical representation-theoretic question resolved by linking it to a deep algebro-geometric phenomenon. The solution is based on comparing two ways to categorify a given vector space (in this case, the space of functions on the Weyl group): a geometric and an algebraic one. Comparisons of this sort turn out to be a common thread in a number of later results motivated by geometric Langlands duality, mirror duality etc, providing new ways to apply algebraic geometry to representation theory and vice versa. Such results and their consequences will be discussed in the lectures.”
Location: 417 Mathematics Hall
Thursdays at 2:40 pm.

A King’s College Honorary Fellowship represents recognition of an individual’s high distinction in their field, and there are no more than 25 fellows at any given time. Professor McDuff joins a distinguished group of experts from across a wide range of disciplines, including economics, biology, politics, economics, law, linguistics, and physics.

Simons Collaborations bring together groups of outstanding scientists to address mathematical or theoretical topics of fundamental scientific importance where a significant new development creates a novel area for exploration or provides a new direction for progress in an established field. This Simons Collaboration on Homological Mirror Symmetry is motivated by the idea that the time is now ripe to prove fundamental theorems establishing the existence of mirror symmetry in full generality, and to explore the applications of this symmetry. Other members of the collaboration include Tony Pantev (University of Pennsylvania), Denis Auroux (University of California, Berkeley), Ron Donagi (University of Pennsylvania), Kenji Fukaya (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics), Ludmil Katzarkov (University of Miami and Vienna), Maxim Kontsevich (IHES), Bong Lian (Brandeis), Shing-Tung Yau (Harvard University).

Print this pageAdded on May 09, 2015 by Deniz MacleodThis workshop, to be held at Columbia from May 22 to May 25, celebrates the achievements and influence of Robert Friedman on the occasion of his 60th birthday. It will focus on the topology and geometry of algebraic surfaces and 4-manifolds, vector bundles and G-bundles, and geometric applications of Hodge theory.
