Dualities in Topology and Algebra
This workshop brings together experts in algebraic topology, commutative algebra, and the modular representation theory of finite groups. There are many points of contact between these areas of mathematics. The focus of the workshop will be on duality phenomena and also on classification problems in various tensor-triangulated categories that arise naturally in these fields. The derived category of a commutative ring—an interesting object in its own right—often serves as a (simpler) model for the stable category of a finite group, and also the stable homotopy category in topology. There are many similarities between these categories, for example the possession of a triangulated structure with a compatible symmetric product, but also notable differences; in particular, the stable homotopy category is significantly more complicated. Nevertheless, ideas and notions that arose in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry have been transplanted fruitfully to modular representation theory a...

Quantum Spacetime in the Cosmos: From Conception to Reality
On Demand Recording: https://pirsa.org/C23035
The nature of space and time is one of the most foundational mysteries in both Physics and Philosophy. At the heart of this mystery are the two most successful theories of nature: Einstein's theory of relativity, an elegant and precise description of the geometry of our universe on large scales, and Quantum Mechanics, outlining accurate laws of interaction in the subatomic world. But these two great triumphs of 20th century physics remain inherently inconsistent, contradictory in their most basic principles, such as locality and causality. Nonetheless, the experimental domains or natural phenomena where these contradictions become manifest have remained elusive, and it is not clear that a century of theoretical investigation into quantum gravity is anywhere close to being verified in nature.
Arguably, this disconnect is our greatest and most foundational challenge in the history of Physics; despite groundbreaking progress in both theory and observations of quantum spacetimes, these two endeavours are moving farther apart. Successfully responding to this century-old challenge could require rethinking the epistemology of fundamental physics. While physicists are trained to push the frontiers of knowledge, developing a grand vision of the arch of history, and where we are (or should be) heading is a more interdisciplinary endeavor, requiring insights from theory and observations, but also philosophy and history.
We plan a focused, interactive, and highly interdisciplinary workshop, involving the world’s best theorists, observers, experimentalists, and philosophers, within a supportive, inclusive, and diverse environment, in order to kick start a long term initiative that might be our best bet to make significant progress towards uncovering the quantum nature of spacetime.Sponsorship provided by:

Largest Cosmological Surveys and Big Data Science
The tremendous success of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations, by WMAP and Planck, have heralded an era in precision cosmology. The large scale structures (LSS) in our Universe, particularly at low redshifts, have also been mapped out in great detail over the last decade by surveys such as SDSS. Ongoing surveys such as the DES, KiDS and HSC are pushing this frontier to higher redshifts. The near future will see further advances with DESI, PFS, Euclid and LSST continuing the legacy of wide area surveys. We will also get data in X-ray from eROSITA, and 21 cm surveys such as CHIME and BINGO followed by SKA in the not so far future. Hand-in-hand, the next generation CMB S4, CMB-HD observations are on the cards; especially CMB polarization and spectral distortion experiments would provide an unprecedented view of the early Universe allowing us to look far beyond the last scattering surface.The proposed program aims to : Expose young researchers to the forefront of Cosmology rese...

Causal Inference & Quantum Foundations Workshop
Recently we have seen exciting results at the intersection of quantum foundations and the statistical analysis of causal hypotheses by virtue of the centrality of latent variable models to both fields.
In this workshop we will explore how academics from both sides can move the shared frontiers forward. Towards that end, we are including extensive breakout collaboration opportunities in addition to formal presentations. In order to make concrete progress on problems pertinent to both communities, we have selected the topic of causal models with restricted cardinality of the latent variables as a special focus for this workshop.
Sponsorship for this workshop has been provided by:

Lunar Gravitational-Wave Detection
Lunar exploration has become a strategic objective of space agencies worldwide. These programs offer extraordinary opportunities for science as well. Gravitational-wave (GW) detection on the Moon already emerged as a revolutionary idea during the Apollo era. Today, technologies exist to realise a GW detector on the Moon. Lunar detectors would have the capability to open the decihertz band to GW observations with enormous opportunities for breakthrough GW and multi-messenger observations. The goal of this meeting is to discuss mission concepts for lunar GW detection, payload technologies, GW science, as well as lunar geophysics, which plays a crucial role in the planning of these missions. This meeting also will include scientists who are working on other mission concepts for decihertz GW detection to facilitate a meaningful exchange of ideas and techniques. Another aim of this meeting is to help to step up the Indian presence in the international efforts to prepare a science white pape...
