SUMMARY:PROGRAM ON TOPOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CONDENSED MATTER
DESCRIPTION:During Academic year 2018-19\, the CMSA will be hosting a Program on Topological Aspects of Condensed Matter. New ideas rooted in topology have recently had a big impact on condensed matter physics\, and have highlighted new connections with high energy physics\, mathematics and quantum information theory. Additionally\, these ideas have found applications in the design of photonic systems and of materials with novel mechanical properties. The aim of this program will be to deepen these connections by foster discussion and seeding new collaborations within and across disciplines. \nAs part of the Program\, the CMSA will be hosting two workshops: \n\nWorkshop on Topology and Quantum Phases of Matter (August 27-28\, 2018)\nWorkshop on Topological Aspects of Condensed Matter (September 10-11\, 2019)\n\n. \nAdditionally\, a weekly Topology Seminar will be held on Mondays from 10:00-11:30pm in CMSA room G10. \n\nHere is a partial list of the mathematicians who have indicated that they will attend part or all of this special program\n\n\n\n\n\nName\nTentative Visiting Dates\n\n\n\n\n\nJason Alicea \n\n11/12/2018-11/16/2018\n\n\nMaissam Barkeshli\n4/22/2019 – 4/26/2019\n\n\nXie Chen\n4/15-17/2019 4/19-21/2019 4/24-30/2019\n\n\n\nLukasz Fidkowski \n\n1/7/2019-1/11/2019\n\n\n\nZhengcheng Gu \n\n8/15/2018-8/30/2018 & 5/9/2019-5/19/2019\n\n\n\nYin Chen He \n\n10/14/2018-10/27/2018\n\n\nAnton Kapustin\n8/26/2018-8/30/2018 & 3/28/2019-4/5/2019\n\n\n\nMichael Levin \n\n3/11/2019-3/15/2019\n\n\nYuan-Ming Lu\n4/29/2019-6/01/2019\n\n\n\nAdam Nahum \n\n4/2/2019- 4/19/2019\n\n\n\nMasaki Oshikawa \n\n4/22/2019-5/22/2019\n\n\nChong Wang\n 10/22/2018-11/16/2018\n\n\n\nJuven Wang \n\n4/1/2019-4/16/2019\n\n\nCenke Xu\n 8/26/2018-10/1/2018\n\n\n\nYi-Zhuang You \n\n4/1/2019-4/19/2019\n\n\n\nMike Zaletel \n\n5/1/2019-5/10/2019

SUMMARY:Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION:During Academic year 2018-19\, the CMSA will be hosting a Program on Mathematical Biology. \nJust over a century ago\, the biologist\, mathematician and philologist D’Arcy Thompson wrote “On growth and form”. The book was a visionary synthesis of the geometric biology of form at the time. It also served as a call for mathematical and physical approaches to understanding the evolution and development of shape. \nIn the century since its publication\, we have seen a revolution in biology following the discovery of the genetic code\, which has uncovered the molecular and cellular basis for life\, combined with the ability to probe the chemical\, structural\, and dynamical nature of molecules\, cells\, tissues and organs across scales. In parallel\, we have seen a blossoming of our understanding of spatiotemporal patterning in physical systems\, and a gradual unveiling of the complexity of physical form. And in mathematics and computation\, there has been a revolution in terms of posing and solving problems at the intersection of computational geometry\, statistics and inference.  So\, how far are we from realizing a descriptive\, predictive and controllable theory of biological shape? \nIn Fall 2018\, CMSA will focus on a program that aims at recent mathematical advances in describing shape using geometry and statistics in a biological context\, while also considering a range of physical theories that can predict biological shape at scales ranging from macromolecular assemblies to whole organ systems \nThe CMSA will be hosting three workshops as part of this program. The Workshop on Morphometrics\, Morphogenesis and Mathematics will take place on October 22-26.  \nA workshop on Morphogenesis: Geometry and Physics will take place on December 3-6\, 2018. \nA workshop on Invariance and Geometry in Sensation\, Action and Cognition will take place on April 15-17\, 2019.
