Lectures on Black Holes, Holography and Quantum Gravity
2024年7月29日(月) - 8月1日(木)
野村 泰紀 (Director, Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
The information problem of black holes has evolved modern physics and led to the holographic principle, considered the fundamental principle of quantum gravity. Through a series of four lectures (blackboard style), including naive questions from the audience and lively discussions, I will introduce these fundamental ideas as well as the current state of the art and problems in cutting-edge research. Lecture 1: July 29 (Mon) 13:30~15:00 Lecture 2: July 30 (Tue) 13:30~15:00 Lecture 3: July 31 (Wed) 13:30~15:00 Lecture 4: Aug 1 (Thu) 13:30~15:00

特別講演会
RIKEN iTHEMS & AIPmath Special Lecture: Contact geometry in 3-dimensional space and higher
2024年7月29日(月) 15:30 - 16:30
Emmy Murphy (Professor, Princeton University, USA)
In mathematics, contact geometry is a type of geometry describing a variety of dynamical systems. They are the phase spaces of systems arising in geometric optics, semi-classical quantum systems, classical dynamics, and control theory. On the mathematical side, contact geometry relates to a variety of other geometric structures, such as Kahler geometry, smooth topology, and foliation theory. It can be especially interesting to look at contact geometry in 3-dimensional space, because we can explicitly visualize the spaces. Additionally, by connecting contact geometry with our understanding of 3-D topology, mathematicians have the ability to understand the large-scale structure of these spaces like never before. The talk will introduce the basics of contact geometry and its applications. We'll particularly focus on the 3-dimensional case, while also mentioning some of the unique properties of higher-dimensional spaces which are recently being explored. Registration required: Register before Wednesday, July 24, 15:00.

Algebraic curves and parametric resurgence
2024年7月29日(月) 16:30 - 17:45
Samuel Crew (Postdoctoral Fellow, Imperial College London, UK)
In this talk I will discuss recent work together with Ines Aniceto (Southampton) on algebraic examples of parametric resurgence. We discuss a simple example to elucidate the so-called higher order Stokes phenomena and discuss how a Borel inner-outer matching procedure allows us to view parametric resurgence as a series of non-parametric resurgence problems.

Social behavior and social engineering in bacteria
2024年8月1日(木) 16:00 - 17:00
Ashleigh Griffin (Professor, Department of Biology, University of Oxford, UK)
This year is the 60th anniversary of WD Hamilton’s seminal paper in which he outlined his theory of inclusive fitness and showed how it could be used to understand altruism in the social insects. In this talk, I will describe efforts made to use his theory to understand social behavior in bacteria. And I’ll go on to explore the potential of using these insights to tackle problems of antibiotic resistance in infections.

ワークショップ
NCTS-iTHEMS Joint Workshop on Matters to Spacetime: Symmetries and Geometry
2024年8月26日(月) - 29日(木)
The National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS) and the Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences Program (iTHEMS) at RIKEN have long maintained a collaborative relationship, even before the Memorandum of Understanding was signed in December, 2022. This partnership has successfully facilitated joint activities in high energy physics over recent years. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, we are excited to announce the inaugural joint workshops focusing on condensed matter physics and (quantum) gravity. These workshops are designed to foster international collaborations and stimulate interdisciplinary research. We are pleased to invite you to the 2024 NCTS-iTHEMS Workshop on Matters to Spacetime: Symmetries and Geometry, to be held from August 26 (Monday) to August 29 (Thursday), at the National Center for Theoretical Sciences, located on the campus of National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei, Taiwan. This workshop will feature presentations on the latest research findings, foster discussions to spark new ideas, and provide opportunities for initiating collaborative projects. While we strongly encourage in-person attendance to maximize engagement and interaction, an online platform will also be available to accommodate participants who are unable to attend physically.

ワークショップ
RIKEN - LBNL Workshop on Quantum Information Science
2024年9月3日(火) - 6日(金)
This international workshop will bring together researchers worldwide to discuss and collaborate on the latest developments in quantum technologies and quantum computing. Other focus areas will be algorithms, hybrid classical - quantum computing, error mitigation, and applications in physics and chemistry. With an emphasis to galvanize the participants into future collaborations, in addition to presentations on recent trends, the workshop will dedicate time in the afternoons for facilitated brainstorming and planning sessions.
会場: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley, California)
