Mathematical Beauty and Truth in Physics. Hirzebruch Lecture 2015 by Arthur Jaffe
Aesthetic values, commonly accepted in mathematics and the arts, provide a central point of view in thinking about the natural world. History illustrates how nature provides wonderful examples of this philosophy. How does mathematical beauty mesh with our current view of truth in physics?
Arthur M. Jaffe is the Landon T. Clay Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Science at Harvard University. His major research focuses on understanding quantum theory and the mathematics that it inspires. He has served as president of the American Mathematical Society. He also guided the conception of the Clay Mathematics Institute, including the “Millennium Prize Problems in Mathematics.”
Program on Higher Structures in Geometry and Physics
Background and goal
One of the classical prerogatives of mathematics is to understand, distinguish and classify its objects. This is favorably achieved by considering naturally appearing additional structures. In recent times, great progress has been made on this front. These leaps in understanding have been so successful, that there is a growing need to understand the different structures themselves and their interplay using higher or meta-structures. Examples from this can be found in algebra, geometry and physics, such as higher homotopies and coherences, the objects governing these, the use of higher categories in quantum field theory and derived algebraic and differential geometry. These higher structures also appear in the very foundations of mathematics in the guise of univalent foundations and homotopy type theory.
The activity aims to bring together researchers from the various areas above that are working on related and interlinked problems albeit so far in their own respective languages. The intention is an exchange of techniques and ideas which will aid current research and help to focus and shape future directions.
Related events
There will be an opening conference in the week January 18-22, a workshop on homotopy type theory and higher structures in the second week of February (Feb. 10-14) and a closing conference on March 18-22.

Symplectic Geometry Day
Geometric Group Theory
Dynamics and Numbers
Goals
We propose bringing together researchers in ergodic theory, topological dynamics, number theory, and combinatorics who are interested in similar problems from very different perspectives, with the ultimate goal of elucidating the nature of the links among these fields. There was a conference in the final week (July 21-25, 2014).

Special Program "Tropical Geometry and Topology"
Four mini-courses will be organized during the program:
- Erwan Brugallé: Tropical curves (July),
- Sergei Galkin: Geometry of Fano manifolds (September),
- Conan Leung: TBA (September),
- Oleg Viro: Topology of real algebraic and tropical varieties (July-August)
The mini-courses designated to Ph.D. students, post-docs, and participants of the program. They will be complemented by a regular program seminar.
The program conference will take place from September 2 to September 6, 2013.
