Simons Collaboration on Homological Mirror Symmetry
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 […]
PROGRAM ON TOPOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF CONDENSED MATTER
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, […]
Workshop on Morphometrics, Morphogenesis and Mathematics
In Fall 2018, the CMSA will host a Program on Mathematical Biology, which aims to describe recent mathematical advances in using geometry and statistics in a biological context, while also considering a range […]
Mathematical Biology
During Academic year 2018-19, the CMSA will be hosting a Program on Mathematical Biology. Just over a century ago, the biologist, mathematician and philologist D’Arcy Thompson wrote “On growth and form”. The […]
Morphogenesis: Geometry and Physics
Just over a century ago, the biologist, mathematician and philologist D’Arcy Thompson wrote “On growth and form”. The book – a literary masterpiece – is a visionary synthesis of the […]
Spacetime and quantum mechanics, total positivity and motives
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 […]
2021 Summer Introduction to Mathematical Research
The Math Department and Harvard’s Center of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (CMSA) will be running a math program/course for mathematically minded undergraduates this summer. The course will be run by Dr. […]
Swampland Program
During the 2021–2022 academic year, the CMSA will host a program on the so-called “Swampland.” The Swampland program aims to determine which low-energy effective field theories are consistent with nonperturbative quantum gravity considerations. Not […]
CONDENSED MATTER PROGRAM
The methods of topology have been applied to condensed matter physics in the study of topological phases of matter. Topological states of matter are new quantum states that can be […]
General Relativity Program
During the Spring 2022 semester, the CMSA hosted a program on General Relativity. This semester-long program included four minicourses, a conference, and a workshop. General Relativity Mincourses: March–May, 2022 General […]
2022 Summer Introduction to Mathematical Research
