The Ising model is one of the most classical models of statistical physics and has been a testing ground for mathematicians and physicists for a century. On the occasion of its 100th anniversary, postponed from 2020 to 2022, the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) organises a special conference that will take place 30 May to 3 June 2022, with talks from various fields involved in the study of the model.

This event should serve as a platform between mathematicians and physicists working in the domain. 

This conference is organised by: Hugo Duminil-Copin (IHES), Slava Rychkov (IHES) and Béatrice de Tilière (Cérémade, Univ. Paris-Dauphine)

Goal: The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from different areas of biology to discuss with scientists from other disciplines the influence of the molecular biology revolution on current research in biology.  Topics will range from investigating specific molecular players, through pathways, to omics and organisms.

Topics

     • Molecular Machines
     • Cellular Pathways and Mechanisms
     • Intra-and Extra-Cellular Coordination and Communication
     • Genomes and Cell Fate
     • Disease, Cancer and Aging

Program: 

There will be four kinds of sessions: Plenary Talks, Discussions, Poster sessions and Workshops.

Plenary Talks: 45-minute talks will be given by invited speakers followed by a short discussion after each talk.

Panel Discussions: At the end of each day, a panel that includes speakers and mediators will discuss issues related to the topic.The audience will be encouraged to participate.

Poster Sessions: Attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts for poster sessions that will take place every day during the lunch break. Some abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for short presentations.

Workshops:  Appropriate abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Committee for Workshops designed for exploring ideas in theoretical biology.

Extended discussions:  On Saturday March 10 conference rooms in IHES will be available for further discussions.

MASAKI KASHIWARA and ALGEBRAIC ANALYSIS

The story starts in the sixties, when Mikio Sato introduces hyperfunctions by algebraic methods with the dream to treat classical problems of analysis with the tools of algebraic geometry, homological algebra and sheaves, what he called "Algebraic Analysis".

Holder of the AXA-IHÉS Chair of Mathematics

Certainly, geometry in the 21st century with physical application, will involve the study of new kinds of objects with categorical structures playing a primordial role.
Maxim Kontsevich has been a force of nature in creating these new categorical structures in the last 20 years.
The goal of this conference is to celebrate his contributions to Mathematics and Physics.
This meeting­ will contribute to disseminate results on­ a variety of subjects and will ­serve a perfect opportunity for young scientists to get involved in top research. ­
