A Legacy of Mathematics, A Future of Discovery | Harvard Mathematics and CMSA
[embed]https://youtu.be/pNzqNLGSkOk[/embed] New mathematics emerges through sustained inquiry, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas. It develops over time—through seminars, workshops, and ongoing discussion—often at the intersection of different areas of mathematics and science. At the Harvard Department of Mathematics and the Harvard Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (CMSA), this process is supported by an environment that emphasizes both depth and interaction.

Workshop on Calabi-Yau metrics and optimal transport
Workshop on Calabi-Yau metrics and optimal transport Dates: May 18–22, 2026 Location: Harvard CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA Recent advances in the study of Calabi-Yau metrics have revealed an interesting connection with optimal transport, and the regularity theory for optimal transport is expected to play an increasingly important role in the study of Kähler geometry. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the optimal transport and complex geometry communities to investigate probl...

Millennium Prize Problems Lecture – Javier Gómez-Serrano | Navier-Stokes Existence or Breakdown
Millennium Prize Problems Lecture – Javier Gómez-Serrano: Navier-Stokes Existence or Breakdown 3/11/2026 Speaker: Javier Gómez-Serrano, Brown University Title: Navier-Stokes Existence or Breakdown Abstract: The Navier-Stokes equations have been the cornerstone of fluid dynamics for over a century, accurately describing the motion of viscous fluids such as water and air. However, despite their fundamental importance to mathematics and physics, a profound question remains unanswered: do solutions...
