Recent developments have poised this area to make serious advances in 2019, and we feel that bringing together many of the relevant experts for an intensive semester of discussions and collaboration will trigger some great things to happen. To this end, the organizers will host a small workshop during Fall 2019, with between 20-30 participants. […] |

Speaker: Spiro Karigiannis (University of Waterloo) Title: Cohomologies on almost complex manifolds and their applications Abstract: We define three cohomologies on an almost complex manifold (M, J), defined using the Nijenhuis-Lie derivations induced from the almost complex structure J and its Nijenhuis tensor N, regarded as vector-valued forms on M. One of these can be applied to distinguish non-isomorphic non-integrable […] |

On October 16-18, 2019 the CMSA hosted a workshop on Noncommutative Analysis, Computational Complexity, and Quantum Information. This 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 […]

Speaker: Aram Harrow (MIT) Title: Monogamy of entanglement and convex geometry Abstract: 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 […] |

Speaker: Man-Wai Cheung Title: Compactification for cluster varieties without frozen variables of finite type Abstract: 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 […] |

As part of the program on Spacetime and Quantum Mechanics, Total Positivity and Motives, the CMSA will host a “Master Class Workshop” on October 28-30, 2019. Each day of the workshop will feature an intensive full day of pedagogical lectures, with the aim of bringing actively interested but non-expert physicists and mathematicians up to speed on the featured […] |

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. Projects currently underway around the world are collecting detailed health and genomic data from millions of volunteers. In parallel, numerous healthcare systems have announced commitments […] |
