Workshop on Recent Developments of Chiral Matter and Topology
December 6 (Thu) - 9 (Sun), 2018
The aim of this workshop is to gather researchers of high-energy and condensed-matter physics working on chiral Matter and Topology, to exchange ideas and establish collaborations to tackle unsolved issues and carry out future extensions. The workshop expects to welcome 40-60 participants who are interested in the aforementioned topics.

Theory of Operator Algebras
Theory of Operator Algebras (6th)
December 20 (Thu) at 15:30 - 17:00, 2018
Yosuke Kubota (Research Scientist, iTHEMS)
Title: An introduction to operator algebras
Abstract: Operators are linear maps from a (usually an infinite dimensional) linear space (most frequently the Hilbert space) to itself, which is like matrices of infinite degree. Operators form an algebra by obvious addition and multiplication. Operators appear in most of the fields in mathematics, in algebra, in geometry, in analysis, ... Some of the key words at the beginning of these lectures are "spectral theory" "operator algebras" "Tomita-Takesaki theory". These lectures are for non-professional people.

Conference
Co-hosted by iTHEMS
The 7th International Symposium on Data Assimilation (ISDA2019)
January 21 (Mon) - 24 (Thu), 2019
The symposium will focus on the cross-cutting issues shared in broad applications of data assimilation from geoscience to various physical and biological sciences. In particular, the symposium will enhance discussions among researchers with various background on, for example, non-Gaussian and nonlinear data assimilation problems, Big Data Assimilation (BDA), high-performance computation (HPC), Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), advanced intelligence (AI) and machine learning, multi-scale and multi-component treatments, observational issues, and mathematical problems.
Abstract Submission Deadline: October 14, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. UTC
Registration Deadline: December 16, 2018 at 11:59 p.m. UTC
Submission/Registration Fee: Free
Venue: 6F auditorium, Computational Science Research Building, R-CCS, Kobe Campus, RIKEN

Person of the Week
Self-introduction: Masahiro Nozaki
2018-11-02
Hi everyone. My name is Masahiro Nozaki.
I am a Special Postdoctoral Researchers at iTHEMS. I worked in YITP, Kyoto University as a JSPS fellow, and then in The Kadanoff Center for Theoretical Physics, The University of Chicago as a Kadanoff Center fellow.
I have been studying theoretical physics such as holography and non-equilibrium physics in terms of quantum entanglement.
Currently, I am interested in and studying quantum chaos, scrambling and so on.
I am very happy if I can interact with researchers in iTHEMS, broaden my research fields, and have fruitful collaborations!!
