The mathematical theory of dynamical systems provides tools to understand the complex behavior of many important physical systems.  Of particular interest are Hamiltonian systems.  Since Poincaré's fundamental contributions many mathematical tools have been developed to understand such systems.  Surprisingly these developments led to the creation of two seemingly unrelated mathematical disciplines: the field of dynamical systems and the field of symplectic geometry.  In view of the significant advances in both fields, it seems timely to have a program that aims at

During the 2010-2011 academic year, Richard Taylor of Harvard University will be the School's Distinguished Visiting Professor.  He will lead a program on Galois Representations and Automorphic Forms.

There will be a small program during the second term (spring) of the 2009-2010 year on A¹-Homotopy Theory and its recent developments.  Two directions will be emphasized during this program: the proof of Bloch-Kato conjecture on Galois cohomology and related applications, following the work of Rost and Voevodsky, as well as recent geometric applications of A¹-homotopy to the study of smooth proper varieties over a field, especially those which are involving the A¹-fundamental group of A¹-connected vari

During the 2007-08 academic year, Roman Bezrukavnikov of MIT will lead a special program on algebraic geometry and physics in representation theory.

The activity in Combinatorics and Theoretical Computer Science at the Institute for Advanced Study will resume on Monday, September 29.

It will take place on Mondays, and will include:
The Combinatorics and Complexity Theory Seminar - Mondays 11 am, starting September 29.
A mini-course on Computational Pseudo-Randomness- Mondays 2 pm, starting October 6

Mini Conference December 10-12th

During term I of the year, School faculty member Jean Bourgain and Van Vu of Rutgers University will lead a program on arithmetic combinatorics. The following is preliminary information about the program.
