SUMMARY:MATH-PHYSICS PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION:In the past thirty years there have been deep interactions between mathematics and theoretical physics which have tremendously enhanced both subjects. The focal points of these interactions include string theory\, general relativity\, and quantum many-body theory. \nString theory has been at the center of the ongoing effort to uncover the fundamental principles of nature and in particular to unify Einstein’s geometric theory of gravity with quantum theory. The development of this field has sparked a historically unprecedented synergy between mathematics and physics. Progress at the forefront of theoretical physics has relied crucially on very recent developments in pure mathematics. At the same time insights from physics have led to both new branches of pure mathematics as well as dramatic progress in old branches. \nSeveral examples from the recent past exemplifying this synergy include the prediction from string theory of mirror symmetry\, a highly unexpected mathematical equivalence between distinct pairs of Calabi-Yau manifolds. This fueled exciting developments in algebraic\, enumerative and symplectic geometry. At the same time the realization of string theory as a phenomenologically viable physical theory depends crucially on detailed mathematical properties of these manifolds. In Einstein’s theory of general relativity the proofs of the positive energy theorem and the stability of flat spacetime were accompanied by fundamental new results in functional analysis\, differential geometry and minimal surface theory. In the coming decades we expect many more important discoveries to arise from the interface of mathematics and physics. The Cheng Fund will foster these efforts. \n\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\nName\nTentative Visiting Dates\n\n\n\n\nPo-Ning Chen\n2/1/15-4/30/15\n\n\nHong-Jian He\n3/5/15-5/5/15\n\n\nMonica Guica\n12/1/14-3/15/15\n\n\nAmer Iqbal\n1/8/15-4/8/15\n\n\nSuvrat Raju\n2/25/15-5/25/15\n\n\nMithat Ünsal\n9/1/15-12/31/15

SUMMARY:Random Matrix Program
DESCRIPTION:Large random matrices provide some of the simplest models for large\, strongly correlated quantum systems. The statistics of the energy levels of ensembles of such systems are expected to exhibit universality\, in the sense that they depend only on the symmetry class of the system. Recent advances have enabled a rigorous understanding of universality in the case of orthogonal\, Hermitian\, or symplectic matrices with independent entries\, resolving a conjecture of Wigner-Dyson-Mehta dating back 50 years. These new developments have exploited techniques from a wide range of mathematical areas in addition to probability\, including combinatorics\, partial differential equations\, and hydrodynamic limits. It is hoped that these new techniques will be useful in the analysis of universal behaviour in matrix ensembles with more complicated structure such as random regular graph models\, or 2D matrix ensembles\, as well as more physically relevant systems such as band matrices and random Schroedinger-type Hamiltonians. For some of these models\, results in the direction of universality have already been obtained. \n\n\nHere is a partial list of the mathematicians who are participating in this program. \n\n\n\n\nName\n\n\n\n\nHorng-Tzer Yau\n\n\nQian Lin\n\n\nRoland Bauerschmidt\n\n\nMiika Nikula\n\n\nYu-Ting Chen\n\n\nBen Landon\n\n\nYuchen Pei\n\n\nPhilippe Sosoe
