The Simons Center for Geometry and Physics is a center for theoretical physics and mathematics at Stony Brook University in New York. The focus of the center is mathematical physics and the interface of geometry and physics. It was founded in 2007 by a gift from the James and Marilyn Simons Foundation.
Nikita Alexandrovich Nekrasov (Russian: Ники́та Алекса́ндрович Некра́сов; born 10 April 1973) [1] is a Russian mathematical and theoretical physicist at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics and C.N.Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University in New York, [2] and a Professor of the Russian ...
The Simons Center for Geometry and Physics is a center for theoretical math and physics. It opened in 2010 following a $60 million donation by multi-billionaire Jim Simons, the former chairman of the math department at Stony Brook University and the founder of hedge fund Renaissance Technologies.
In 2013, he then moved to the United States in order to join the faculty of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook. The Fukaya category , meaning the A ∞ {\displaystyle A_{\infty }} category of whose objects are Lagrangian submanifolds of a given symplectic manifold, is named after him, and is intimately related to Floer ...
In 1976, Simons received the American Mathematical Society's Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry for research that would prove to be influential to string theory and other areas of physics.
John Willard Morgan (born March 21, 1946) is an American mathematician known for his contributions to topology and geometry. He is a Professor Emeritus at Columbia University and a member of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook University.
Jim Simons, the legendary "Quant King" who founded Renaissance Technologies, died Friday at the age of 86, after forever changing Wall Street with his genius for math and finding patterns in data.
From 1986 until 2016, Álvarez-Gaumé was a permanent member of the CERN Theoretical Physics unit. In 2016, he became the director of the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook. In the 1980s, Álvarez-Gaumé had various important contributions to the field of string theory and its mathematical framework.
