This first joint workshop marks the donation between Nokia corporation and the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques. To celebrate this event we will have two excellent talks which will indirectly reminisce the riches heures of the Bell Laboratories (now Bell Labs part of Nokia corporate) which has now a strong settlement in Paris Saclay campus. Nokia Bell Labs is among the largest and also the oldest private research laboratory in the world and maybe the only one delivering a continuous stream of impressive scientific discoveries and theoretical contributions since one century.

The first talk will be by professor Alain Aspect of Institut d’Optique. Prof Aspect is wordwide known as the physicist who has built the first experimental confirmation of photon quantum entanglement theory. His contribution solved the famous Einstein Podolski Rosen paradox and led to new major perspectives in telecommunication and encryption. This is a way to look back on the major contributions of Bell Labs in quantum technology such as the transistor invented in 1948, and to look forward to quantum computing and communication.

The second talk will be by professor Sergio Verdu of Princeton University. Prof Verdu is the recipient of the Shannon Award in 2007 for his seminal contributions on information theory, in particular in data compression and transmission optimization when time and capacity are critical. Of course his talk will reminisce the history of the Information Theory, formulated in 1948 by Claude Shannon in Bell Labs, but his contributions bring a bridge toward the coming of the new generations of high performance wireless communications.

As part of the IHES-Huawei partnership, this one-day workshop is organised by the Huawei's Mathematical and Algorithmic Sciences Lab jointly with IHES and aims at creating scientific exchanges around mathematical topics that are essential for the development and innovation of the ICT. The topic of this year is on the potential of the mathematics of Artificial Intelligence for breakthrough results in the ICT field

 

Resurgence in Mathematics and Physics

The aim of the conference is to facilitate an interaction between mathematicians and physicists interested in the phenomenon of resurgence, when apparently divergent series correspond to germs of analytic functions in sectors via Borel summation.

We hope that such interaction will bring new ideas in both subjects explaining e.g. analyticitity with respect to various perturbative parameters in physics, convergence of instanton corrections in symplectic topology,  the role of the wall-crossing formulas in resurgence, etc.

Marcel Berger greatly contributed to mathematics, through his own publications, for example on holonomy groups, symmetric spaces, curvature pinching and the sphere theorem, spectral geometry or systolic geometry. His influence goes far beyond his research papers. His books and surveys have inspired not only his students, but a much broader audience. Important features of Marcel Berger's mathematical heritage are also his seminar and his influence on the round tables organized by his friend Arthur L. Besse. Marcel Berger's Riemannian geometry seminar held at the Universite Paris VII in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, hosted lectures by both reputable mathematicians and young researchers. For the participants, it was a unique place for lively and informal mathematical discussions and exchanges, as well as inspiration.

As part of the European Research Council Starting Grant programme « Quantum Algebraic Structures in Field Theories » (QUASIFT) activities, this conference aims to unite physicists and mathematicians working on non-local aspects and higher structures in quantum field theories.  Through lectures and informal discussion we will further the productive dialogue between experts studying the application of physical concepts in algebraic geometry and homotopy theory, and the appearance of novel algebraic structures in theoretical physics.

Topics of discussion will include structures associated to line and surface operators, boundary conditions and defects, moduli spaces of vacua, the cobordism hypothesis, factorization homology, and the occurrence of E_n, P_n, chiral and other higher structured algebras.

Workshop Quantum Gravity in Paris­­­ Quantum LPT, Orsay – 17-21 mars 2014

The workshop « Quantum Gravity in Paris 2014 » is the fourth in a regular series that aims at stimulating exchanges between different approaches to quantum gravity in all its aspects.

This year’s emphasis is on the fundamental definition of the theory and its mathematical aspects, rather than physical applications.
