In these workshops, we hope to facilitate an informal and active atmosphere, in which established and junior researchers interact. Cumrun Vafa of Harvard University has agreed to be in residence at Stony Brook for this and future Simons Workshops, and to serve as the overall Scientific Advisor. Other participants will include Nathan Berkovits, Robbert Dijkgraaf, Sheldon Katz, David Morrison, Hirosi Ooguri, Ashoke Sen*, and Arkady Tseytlin*. Their schedules are in the process of being finalized. Stony Brook people who have already committed to participating in the workshop include Mark de Cataldo, Antonio Grassi, Alexander Kirillov, Blaine Lawson, Claude LeBrun, Sorin Popescu, Martin Roček, Warren Siegel, Dennis Sullivan, Leon Takhtajan, and Peter van Nieuwenhuizen.
The Simons Foundation is making it possible for us to invite applications from junior visitors, including advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty, working in areas related to the focus of the workshop.
We hope to have as many as 10-15 junior visitors in residence at a given time during the workshops, and will consider applications for visits of 1-4 weeks in duration. Applications should be submitted by April 15 by filling out our online form.
Please arrange for one letter of recommendation to be emailed to

The C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics and the Mathematics Department at Stony Brook are proud of their tradition of close collaboration. We anticipate that these workshops will continue the tradition on a wider scale, with the help of the Simons Foundation.
