Low Energy Challenges for High Energy Physicists 3
Throughout the history of quantum field theory there has been a rich cross-pollination between high energy and condensed matter physics. From the theory of renormalization to the consequences of spontaneous symmetry breaking this interaction has been an incredibly fruitful one. In the last decade there has been a strong resurgence of interest in condensed matter systems in the high energy theoretical physics community. Taking advantage of developments in conformal field theories the conformal bootstrap gauge/gravity and other type of dualities as well as effective field theory techniques high energy theorists with all kinds of specialist backgrounds are thinking about the diverse behavior exhibited in low energy physical systems. Recent developments also employed quantum field theory ideas to improve our understanding of condensed and quantum matter systems as for example Femi liquids strange metals or the behavior of topological defects in ultra cold atom gases. For certain questions such approaches present relevant advantages with respect to more traditional techniques. Moreover in recent years the interplay between high energy and condensed matter physics found new fuel in the search for light dark matter. Indeed theoretical analyses have recently shifted the attention towards model for sub-GeV dark matter. The condensed matter community has played a crucial role in the design of possible new materials and detectors that could allow the observation of such particles. The aim of this workshop is to bring together like-minded high energy theorists with appropriate condensed matter theorists and experimentalists to tackle some of the most interesting problems in modern physics. The format has been designed to allow for plenty of time for open discussion and interaction between the participants. This will reinvigorate existing collaborations as well as create new fruitful ones.

Dynamics of Complex systems 2018
This Summer Program on Dynamics of Complex Systems is the third in the series. The theme for the program this year is non-smooth dynamical systems and complex networks.The study of bifurcations, i.e., qualitative change in the behavior of a dynamical system as a set of parameters of the system is varied, is an important and well-studied area of research for such systems. A large fraction of the dynamical systems theory is devoted to the study of smooth (continuously differentiable) dynamical systems. However, there are also systems encountered commonly in science and engineering, where a dynamical system is given by two or more different sets of differential equations, each defined for a compartment of the phase space. As the state moves from one compartment to another, the equations defining the evolution change. Examples of such systems, where continuous-time evolution is punctuated by discrete switching events, are:Power Electronic CircuitsSystems involving relaysMechanical systems...

Geometry and Topology for Lecturers
This workshop on geometry and topology for lecturers is aimed for participants who are lecturers in universities/institutes and colleges in India. This will enable lecturers from institutions all over India to get acquainted with various areas of geometry and topology which are active fields of research.Topics will include: Geometry and Topology of surfaces; Hyperbolic geometry and moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces; Minimal surfaces, maximal surfaces and solitons; Fundamental Groupoid.The workshop will have 4 pedagogical lecture series. There will also be discussion sessions aimed at promoting research and collaborations amongst the participants. The lecturer-participants themselves will also have a chance to present papers (which could be their own too in the area). In addition, there will be small projects which may later on develop into research projects.

Path to Kilohertz Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
We are entering an exponentially growing phase of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy excitingly represented by the Nobel Prize in Physics last year - only two years after the first detection. The successful multi-messenger detection of binary neutron star merger in last August has triggered increasing interests to probe the neutron star post-merger gravitational radiations as they will give more decisive and informative description of the post-merger object itself and the GW/electromagnetic emission mechanism. As the post-merger GWs mainly lie in the 1kHz-4kHz band it becomes necessary and important to think about possible third-generation GW detectors that are primarily sensitive to the high frequency band. In this workshop we shall focus on possible science case and detector configuration for kHz high-frequency detectors. We will have several invited talks while leaving more time for free discussions. We hope this workshop can serve as a seed for much broader discussions in the GW astronomy community and help promote high frequency detectors as one of the development directions of third-generation GW detectors.

Asymptotic Safety in a Dark Universe
The asymptotic safety paradigm is currently emerging as a highly promising idea for Beyond-Standard-Model physics with key progress in asymptotically safe quantum gravity and asymptotically safe matter models. The last years have seen not only the development of asymptotically safe gravity-matter models but also the discovery of asymptotically safe beyond Standard Model matter models that are under control in perturbation theory. New exciting avenues in (astro) particle physics are now waiting to be explored. For example although the nature of dark matter is a long-standing riddle it is a fact that experimental searches have so far not provided any direct clues but have instead come up with ever more stringent constraints on theoretically preferred regions of parameter space for dark-matter-models. Thus the key to unraveling this riddle could be a new theoretical paradigm to guide model builders. This workshop aims at exploring whether asymptotic safety can be a candidate for this new paradigm. We aim to bring together experts on phenomenological models and quantum gravity to probe both the theoretical viability and empirical signatures of asymptotically safe extensions of the standard model that include gravity. To facilitate a highly productive meeting that can trigger new collaborations each talk will be followed up by 15-20 minutes discussion time. Further each day of the workshop will feature a dedicated discussion session. Participants will be encouraged to contribute questions for the discussion both before as well as during the workshop. The last day of the workshop will conclude with a roadmap discussion during which all participants will be given the opportunity to propose concrete suggestions for follow-up work that might lead into future joint projects.

Open EFT's and Gravity as a Medium
This event is meant to study the connections between quantum fields in curved spacetimes with horizons and the effective field theory methods as applied to open systems (Open EFTs). In particular the hope is to exploit the existence of tools (from areas like optics) for dealing with hierarchies of scale in open systems and adapt the to see if they can inform our understanding of controlling late-time predictions in gravitational environments. Please note that this meeting is by invitation only.

AdS/CFT at 20 and Beyond
In the past twenty years, the discovery of the AdS/CFT correspondence has revolutionized the study of string theory and quantum gravity. The correspondence has also led to the discovery of far-reaching connections between string theory and other seemingly unrelated areas of physics, including the study of strongly correlated condensed matter systems and fluid dynamics. This meeting is a celebration of 20 years of the AdS/CFT correspondence, and will bring together experts in this area to take stock of the progress that has been made, and identify promising directions for future research in this area. The Infosys-ICTS Chandrasekhar Lectures by Juan Maldacena will also be part of this discussion meeting.
