Over 50 years ago, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) emerged as the fundamental description of the strong nuclear interactions. Another major milestone was the formulation in 1974 of the large N limit of QCD where the planar Feynman diagrams make the dominant...

We are glad to announce that Edward Mazenc (ETH Zurich, M. Gaberdiel's Group) has joined the SwissMAP Research Station (SRS) Scientific Council.

The Hilbert scheme of n points on a manifold parametrizes length-n subschemes of M. On the one hand, this is a classifying space of finite codimension ideals in polynomial rings, on the other hand, being one of the most natural moduli spaces, it plays a major role in...

The SwissMAP Research Station 2024 program is out!

Registrations are open until December 5. This edition will feature mini courses by Francis Brown (Oxford), Eveliina Peltola (Aalto & Bonn) and Maxim Zabzine (Uppsala).

This is the first event in the Quantum Topology Biennial series (QTB), with a particular focus on the interplay between quantum topology and representation theory. The workshop will study interactions between the two fields, including pDG stuctures, non-semisimple...

Two dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) are ubiquitous in mathematical physics and as such provide surprising connections between different areas of research. The past decade has seen a surge of powerful techniques using supersymmetry, integrability, and more...
