During the academic year 2006-07, the School of Mathematics will have a special program on algebraic geometry. We don't want to focus on any single aspect, but rather aim to have many flavors of algebraic geometry and its applications represented...

In recent years new and important connections have emerged between discrete subgroups of Lie groups, automorphic forms and arithmetic on the one hand, and questions in discrete mathematics, combinatorics, and graph theory on the other. One of the...

During the academic year 2004-2005 the School of Mathematics will host a program on the Bloch-Kato conjecture relating Milnor's

K-theory and the etale cohomology. The activities of the program will include two or more weekly...

The main emphasis is recent developments in non-linear PDE's and the related analysis. This includes themes such as dispersive Hamiltonian equations with critical nonlinearity, the structure of singularity formations for NLS and generalized KDV...

During the 2002-2003 academic year IAS will conduct a program in statistical models of turbulence. Weinan E and Gregory Falkovich will be in residence for the year, and in related areas, John Ball will also be at the Institute.

Although the problem...

The goal of the program is to explore different aspects of the theory of holomorphic curves and their interaction. A special accent will be made on applications to Symplectic geometry in low-dimensional topology.
