Integrable systems in Mathematics, Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics
This program aims to address various aspects of integrability and its role in the advancement of Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Statistical Mechanics. The scope of the proposed program is therefore highly interdisciplinary, being aimed at mathematicians and physicists who are working on different aspects of integrability. The purpose is to bring together experienced as well as young scientists, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are working on various aspect of quantum as well as classical systems in which integrability plays a paramount role.Dates:July 16 - July 27 (First Division: Integrable systems in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics)July 30 - Aug 10 (Second Division: Integrable systems in Condensed Matter / Statistical Physics)The above two divisions are only made just as a broad reference for gathering like-minded mathematicians and physicists. But, we aim to strongly encourage cross-disciplinary discussions throughout the 4 week pr...

Quantum Fields, Geometry and Representation Theory
The power of symmetries lies at the heart of interaction between modern mathematics and theoretical physics. A classic instance of such an interaction is the parallel development of Quantum Mechanics and that of the theory of finite dimensional representations of complex semi-simple lie algebras in the early 20th century. Natural questions arising from physics served as motivation for the development of the mathematical theory. The initiation of the theory of infinite dimensional representations of non-compact groups was also motivated by the need to understand the Representation Theory of the Poincare Group, the symmetry group of Special Relativity.Quantum Theory and Representation Theory have since flourished independently but have continued to benefit from a cross fertilization of ideas. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in this interaction centered especially around various Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theories and Geometric aspects of Representation Theory. These t...

Tri-Institute Summer School on Elementary Particles 2018
The 2018 Tri-Institute Summer School on Elementary Particles (TRISEP) will be held July 9-20 2018 in Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics Waterloo ON, Canada. TRISEP is an international summer school organized jointly by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, SNOLAB, and TRIUMF Canada s laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. TRISEP will feature lectures by leading experts in the field of particle physics in its broadest sense and is designed to be very interactive with ample time for questions, discussions and interaction with the speakers. The school is intended for graduate students of all levels who were already exposed to quantum field theory. For further information, please visit http:///.trisep.ca

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.
