SUMMARY:Workshop on Dynamics\, Randomness\, and Control in Molecular and Cellular Networks
DESCRIPTION:On November 12-14\, 2019 the CMSA will be hosting a workshop on Dynamics\, Randomness\, and Control in Molecular and Cellular Networks. The workshop will be held in room G10 of the CMSA\, located at 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA. \nBiological cells are the fundamental units of life\, and predictive modeling of cellular dynamics is essential for understanding a myriad of biological processes and functions. Rapid advances in technologies have made it possible for biologists to measure many variables and outputs from complex molecular and cellular networks with various inputs and environmental conditions. However\, such advances are far ahead of the development of mathematical theory\, models and methods needed to secure a deep understanding of how high-level robust behaviors emerge from the interactions in complex structures\, especially in dynamic and stochastic environments. This workshop will bring together mathematicians and biological scientists involved in developing mathematical theories and methods for understanding\, predicting and controlling dynamic behavior of molecular and cellular networks. Particular emphasis will be placed on efforts directed towards discovering underlying biological principles that govern function\, adaptation and evolution\, and on the development of associated mathematical theories. \nOrganizers: Jeremy Gunawardena (Harvard) and Ruth Williams (University of California\, San Diego) \nSpeakers:  \n\nDavid Anderson\, University of Wisconsin | Slides\nJames Collins\, MIT\nDomitilla Del Vecchio\,  MIT | Slides\nOlga K. Dudko\, UC San Diego\nMassimiliano Esposito\, University of Luxembourg | Slides\nJohn Fricks\, Arizona State University | Slides\nHeather Harrington\, University of Oxford\nJoe Howard\, Yale University\nKrešimir Josić\, University of Houston\nSamuel Kou\, Harvard University\nTom Kurtz\, University of Wisconsin | Slides\nAndrew Murray\, Harvard University\nAntonis Papachristodoulou\, University of Oxford\nJohan Paulsson\, Harvard University\nLea Popovic\, Concordia University\nSharad Ramanathan\, Harvard University\nEduardo Sontag\, Northeastern University\nJörg Stelling\, ETH Zurich | Slides\nPieter Rein ten Wolde\, AMOLF | Slides\n\nVideos from the workshop can be found in the Youtube playlist.

SUMMARY:A unified perspective on integrability
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kevin Costello (Perimeter Institute)\n\nTitle: A unified perspective on integrability\n\nAbstract: Two-dimensional integrable field theories\, and the integrable PDEs which are their classical limits\, play an important role in mathematics and physics.   I will describe a geometric construction of integrable field theories which yields (essentially) all known integrable theories as well as many new ones.  Billiard dynamical systems will play a surprising role. Based on work (partly in progress) with Gaiotto\, Lee\, Yamazaki\, Witten\, and Wu.

SUMMARY:Learning from health data in the million genome era
DESCRIPTION:On November 1\, 2019 the CMSA will be hosting a conference organized by Seven Bridges Genomics. The workshop will be held in room G10 of the CMSA\, located at 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA. \nProjects currently underway around the world are collecting detailed health and genomic data from millions of volunteers. In parallel\, numerous healthcare systems have announced commitments to integrate genomic data into the standard of care for select patients. These data have the potential to reveal transformative insights into health and disease. However\, to realize this promise\, novel approaches are required across the full life cycle of data analysis. This symposium will include discussion of advanced statistical and algorithmic approaches to draw insights from petabyte scale genomic and health data; success stories to date; and a view towards the future of clinical integration of genomics in the learning health system. \nSpeakers:  \n\nHeidi Rehm\, Ph.D.\nChief Genomics Officer\, MGH; Professor of Pathology\, MGH\, BWH & Harvard Medical School; Medical Director\, Broad Institute Clinical Research Sequencing Platform.\nSaiju Pyarajan\, Ph.D.\nDirector\, Centre for Data and Computational Sciences\,VABHS\, and Department of Medicine\, BWH and HMS\nTianxi Cai\, Sci.D\nJohn Rock Professor of Population and Translational Data Sciences\, Department of Biostatistics\, Harvard School of Public Health\nSusan Redline\, M.D.\, M.P.H\nFarrell Professor of Sleep MedicineHarvard Medical School\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\nAvinash Sahu\, Ph.D.\nPostdoctoral Research Fellow\, Dana Farber Cancer Institute\, Harvard School of Public Health\nPeter J. Park\, Ph.D.\nProfessor of Biomedical Informatics\, Department of Biomedical Informatics\, Harvard Medical School\nDavid Roberson\nCommunity Engagement Manager\, Seven Bridges

SUMMARY:Compactification for cluster varieties without frozen variables of finite type
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpeaker: Man-Wai Cheung \nTitle: Compactification for cluster varieties without frozen variables of finite type \nAbstract: Cluster varieties are blow up of toric varieties. They come in pairs $(A\,X)$\, with $A$ and $X$ built from dual tori. Compactifications of $A$\, studied by Gross\, Hacking\, Keel\, and Kontsevich\, generalize the polytope construction of toric varieties while the compactifications of X\, studied by Fock and Goncharov\, generalize the fan construction. The conjecture is that the $A$ and the $X$ cluster varieties are mirrors to each other. Together with Tim Magee\, we have shown that there exists a positive polytope for the type $A$ cluster varieties which give us a hint to the Batyrev–Borisov construction.

SUMMARY:Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aram Harrow (MIT)\n\n\nTitle: Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry\nAbstract: The SoS (sum of squares) hierarchy is a flexible algorithm that can be used to optimize polynomials and to test whether a quantum state is entangled or separable.  (Remarkably\, these two problems are nearly isomorphic.)  These questions lie at the boundary of P\, NP and the unique games conjecture\, but it is in general open how well the SoS algorithm performs.   I will discuss how ideas from quantum information (the “monogamy” property of entanglement) can be used to understand this algorithm.  Then I will describe an alternate algorithm that relies on apparently different tools from convex geometry that achieves similar performance.  This is an example of a series of remarkable parallels between SoS algorithms and simpler algorithms that exhaustively search over carefully chosen sets.  Finally\, I will describe known limitations on SoS algorithms for these problems.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Noncommutative Analysis\, Computational Complexity\, and Quantum Information
DESCRIPTION:On October 16-18\, 2019 the CMSA hosted a workshop on Noncommutative Analysis\, Computational Complexity\, and Quantum Information. \nThis workshop focuses on linking three different rapidly developing areas: noncommutative real algebraic geometry (RAG)\, theory of computation and quantum information theory. This mix of overlapping but independently developing topics should lead to a stimulating flow of tools and important problems into several disciplines.  Given the different communities there will be an emphasis on tutorials and making the lectures broadly understandable. \nThe workshop was held in room G10 of the CMSA\, located at 20 Garden Street\, Cambridge\, MA. \nOrganizers: Boaz Barak\, Bill Helton\, Pablo Parrilo\, & Tselil Schramm. \nSpeakers:\n\nJason Altschuler\, MIT | Video\nBoaz Barak\, Harvard | Video\nAnkit Garg\, Microsoft Research | Slides | Video\nDavid Gosset\, University of Waterloo | Video\nAram Harrow\, MIT | Video\nIgor Klep\, University of Ljubljana\nSalma Kuhlmann\, Universität Konstanz | Video\nScott McCullough\, University of Florida | Slides\nIon Nechita\, Laboratoire de Physique Théorique | Slides | Video\nRafael Oliveira\, University of Toronto | Video\nVern Paulsen\, University of Waterloo | Video\nSuvrit Sra\, MIT | Video\nVictor Vinnikov\, Ben Gurion University | Video\nJurij Volčič\, Texas A&M University | Slides | Video\nAdam Bene Watts\, MIT
