SUMMARY:Simons Collaboration on Homological Mirror Symmetry
DESCRIPTION:The Simons Collaboration on Homological Mirror Symmetry brings together a group of leading mathematicians working towards the goal of proving Homological Mirror Symmetry (HMS) in full generality\, and fully exploring its applications. This program is funded by the Simons Foundation. \nMirror symmetry\, which emerged in the late 1980s as an unexpected physical duality between quantum field theories\, has been a major source of progress in mathematics. At the 1994 ICM\, Kontsevich reinterpreted mirror symmetry as a deep categorical duality: the HMS conjecture states that the derived category of coherent sheaves of a smooth projective variety is equivalent to the Fukaya category of a mirror symplectic manifold (or Landau-Ginzburg model). \nWe envision that our goal of proving HMS in full generality can be accomplished by combining three main viewpoints: \n\ncategorical algebraic geometry and non-commutative (nc) spaces: in this language\, homological mirror symmetry is the statement that the same nc-spaces can arise either from algebraic geometry or from symplectic geometry.\nthe Strominger-Yau-Zaslow (SYZ) approach\, which provides a global geometric prescription for the construction of mirror pairs.\nLagrangian Floer theory and family Floer cohomology\, which provide a concrete path from symplectic geometry near a given Lagrangian submanifold to an open domain in a mirror analytic space.\n\nThe Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications is hosting the following short-term visitors for an HMS focused semester: \n\nJacob Bourjaily (Neils Bohr Institute)  4/1/2018 – 4/14/2018\nColin Diemer (IHES)  2/25/2018 – 3/10/2018\nCharles Doran (University of Alberta) 5/13/2018 – 5/25/2018\nBaohua Fu (Chinese Academy of Sciences)  4/15/2018 – 4/28/2018\nAndrew Harder (University of Miami)  4/15/2018 – 4/28/2018\nShinobu Hosono (Gakushuin University) 2/25/2018 – 3/10/2018\nAdam Jacob (UC Davis) 3/5/2018 – 3/16/2018\nTsung-Ju Lee (National Taiwan University) 4/18/2018 – 5/13/2018\nIvan Loseu (Northeastern University) 1/21/2018 – 2/3/2018\nCheuk-Yu Mak (Cambridge University) 4/1/2018 – 4/15/2018\nDaniel Pomerleano (Imperial College) 3/19/2018 – 3/23/2018\nMauricio Romo (Tsinghua University) 4/1/2018 – 4/18/ 2018\nEmanuel Scheidegger (Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg) 2/22/2018 – 3/22/2018\nDmytro Shklyarov (Technische Universität Chemnitz) 3/4/2018 – 3/17/2018\nAlan Thompson (University of Cambridge) 4/15/2018 – 4/21/2018\nWeiwei Wu (University of Georgia) 4/27/2018 – 5/6/2018\nMatt Young (Chinese University of Hong Kong) 1/15/2018 – 2/9/2018\nJeng-Daw Yu (National Taiwan University) 4/2/2018 – 4/6/2018\nMinxian Zhu (Yau Mathematical Sciences Center\, Tsinghua University) 1/ 22/2018 – 2/25/2018\n\nAs part of their CMSA visitation\, HMS focused visitors will be giving lectures on various topics related to Homological Mirror Symmetry throughout the Spring 2018 Semester.  Click here for information. \n\n\nThe Collaboration will include two workshops hosted by The Center. The workshops will take place January 10-13\, 2018  and April 5-7\, 2018 at CMSA. Click here for more information.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Coding and Information Theory
DESCRIPTION:The workshop on coding and information theory will take place April 9-13\, 2018 at the Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications\, located at 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA. \nThis workshop will focus on new developments in coding and information theory that sit at the intersection of combinatorics and complexity\, and will bring together researchers from several communities — coding theory\, information theory\, combinatorics\, and complexity theory — to exchange ideas and form collaborations to attack these problems. \nSquarely in this intersection of combinatorics and complexity\, locally testable/correctable codes and list-decodable codes both have deep connections to (and in some cases\, direct motivation from) complexity theory and pseudorandomness\, and recent progress in these areas has directly exploited and explored connections to combinatorics and graph theory.  One goal of this workshop is to push ahead on these and other topics that are in the purview of the year-long program.  Another goal is to highlight (a subset of) topics in coding and information theory which are especially ripe for collaboration between these communities.  Examples of such topics include polar codes; new results on Reed-Muller codes and their thresholds; coding for distributed storage and for DNA memories; coding for deletions and synchronization errors; storage capacity of graphs; zero-error information theory; bounds on codes using semidefinite programming; tensorization in distributed source and channel coding; and applications of information-theoretic methods in probability and combinatorics.  All these topics have attracted a great deal of recent interest in the coding and information theory communities\, and have rich connections to combinatorics and complexity which could benefit from further exploration and collaboration. \nParticipation: The workshop is open to participation by all interested researchers\, subject to capacity. \nA list of lodging options convenient to the Center can also be found on our recommended lodgings page. \nConfirmed participants include: \n\nEmmanuel Abbe\, Princeton University\nSimeon Ball\, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya\nBoris Bukh\, Carnegie Mellon University\nMahdi Cheraghchi\, Imperial College London\nSivakanth Gopi\, Princeton University\nElena Grigorescu\, University of Purdue\nHamed Hassani\, University of Pennsylvania\nNavin Kashyap\, Indian Institute of Science\nYoung-Han Kim\, University of California\, San Diego\nSwastik Kopparty\, Rutgers University\nNati Linial\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem\nShachar Lovett\, University of California\, San Diego\nWilliam Martin\, Worcester Polytechnic Institute\nArya Mazumdar\, University of Massachusetts at Amherst\nOr Meir\, University of Haifa\nOlgica Milenkovic\, ECE Illinois\nChandra Nair\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\nYuval Peres\, Microsoft Research\nYury Polyanskiy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\nMaxim Raginsky\, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\nSankeerth Rao Karingula\, UC San Diego\nAnkit Singh Rawat\, MIT\nNoga Ron-Zewi\, University of Haifa\nRon Roth\, Israel Institute of Technology\nAtri Rudra\, State University of New York\, Buffalo\nAlex Samorodnitsky\, Hebrew University of Jerusalem\nItzhak Tamo\, Tel Aviv University\nAmnon Ta-Shma\, Tel Aviv University\nHimanshu Tyagi\, Indian Institute of Science\nDavid Zuckerman\, University of Texas at Austin
