Report for the Academic Year 2006–2007 t is fundamental in our purpose, and our express I. desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and

students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly,

of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit

characteristic of America at its noblest, above all

the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any

conditions as to personnel other than those designed

to promote the objects for which this institution is

established, and particularly with no regard whatever

to accidents of race, creed, or sex.

Extract from the letter addressed by the Institute’s Founders, Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld, to the first Board of Trustees, dated June 4, 1930.

Institute for Advanced Study for Advanced Institute IAS BRUCE WHITE Background and Purpose

he Institute for Advanced Study was founded in 1930 with a major gift from New Jersey businessman and philanthropist Louis Bamberger and his sister, Caroline Bamberger Fuld, who wished to use their Tfortunes to make a significant and lasting contribution to society. They sought the advice of educator Abraham Flexner, who developed the concept of the Institute as a community of scholars whose primary purpose would be the pursuit of advanced learning and scholarly exploration. The Institute for Advanced Study has remained committed to its founding principles for more than seventy-five years, and its record of definitive scholarship and scientific achievement is unsurpassed. The Institute fills a unique role in postgraduate education and scientific and scholarly research. As “the university to universities,” in the words of Trustee Vartan Gregorian, the Institute serves all colleges and universities by providing a place where scholars can hone their skills and do their best work, thereby adding substantially to their ability to contribute as both teachers and scholars to the academic institutions where they base their careers. For young scholars just entering the academic world, an opportunity to work at the Institute can set the direction for lifelong research interests and thereby determine professional careers. The Institute provides more mature scholars with the opportunity to take new directions in their research or to complete a major piece of work As “the university to universities,” away from the many obligations of working life at a university.At a time in the words of Trustee Vartan when pure research and scholarly activities are undervalued, the oppor- Gregorian, the Institute serves all tunities that the Institute provides have never been more necessary. colleges and universities by provid- The Institute’s foremost objective is the advancement of knowledge and ing a place where scholars can the deepening of understanding across a broad range of the humanities, hone their skills and do their best sciences, and social sciences. work, thereby adding substantially One of the Institute’s unique strengths is its permanent Faculty of twenty- to their ability to contribute as seven eminent scholars, whose broad interests and extensive ties to the larger academic world are reflected in their own work and also in the both teachers and scholars to the guidance and direction they provide to the Institute’s visiting Members. academic institutions where they The Faculty defines the major themes and questions that become the base their careers. focus of each School’s seminars and other activities, and the Faculty selects and works closely with visiting Members. Small in number and organized into four Schools (Historical BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE BACKGROUND AND Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science), the Faculty and Members can interact with one another without any departmental or disciplinary barriers. Each year the Institute awards fellowships to some 190 visiting Members from about one hundred universities and research institutions throughout the world. The Institute’s more than 5,000 former Members hold positions of intellectual and scientific leadership in the United States and abroad. Some twenty-two Nobel Laureates, and thirty-four out of forty-eight Fields Medalists have been Institute Faculty or Members. Many winners of the Wolf or MacArthur prizes have also been affiliated with the Institute. The Institute does not receive income from tuition or fees; resources for operations come from endowment income, grants from private foundations and government agencies, and gifts from corporations and individuals.

5 Report of the Chairman

am honored to present here my final report as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. I wrote my first report in 1987, fully mindful of the fine record of leadership set by my predecessors. Since its founding I in 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study has stood for excellence and integrity.As Chairman for the last twenty-one years, I have sought to create a balance between the expectations and aspirations of the academic community and the practical capacity of the Board to make their hopes possible. I am confident that my successors, Board Vice Chairman Martin L. Leibowitz, who will serve as Chairman for one year before Charles Simonyi, current President of the Corporation, becomes Chairman in October 2008, will further strengthen and facilitate the Institute’s resolve to support the disinterested pursuit of knowledge. Much of my thinking as Chairman was formed as chair of the Planning and Review Committee that under- took the Decadal Review in 1984–86. The Institute has been reviewed almost every ten years since the 1950s. This year the Institute is embarking on another Decadal Review that will undoubtedly lead to the further fortification of its resources, facilities, and intellectual direction. While a Decadal Review looks both at the practicalities of the institution in terms of finance, administration, and physical needs, as well as the goals of the Schools, the driving force is the support of scholarship. Founding Director Abraham Flexner conceived of the Institute as a place where neither the Board nor the Director but rather the quality of the scholars would be dominant. Seventy-seven years later, the Institute has remained remarkably true to Flexner’s vision. Everything turns on the quality of the Institute’s academic colleagues. Because of the strength of its international reputation and the eminence of the Faculty at the time of each appointment, there is a momentum that allows the Institute to retain its standards. The important thing is not to allow those principles to erode over time, and in this I think the Institute’s track record has been remarkable. In the last year, we witnessed a number of professorial changes in the Schools. We mourned the death of Clifford Geertz, the founding Professor and standard-bearer of the School of Social Science, since its inception in 1973. Dr. Geertz’s landmark contributions to social and cultural theory continue to be influential not only among anthropologists, but also among geographers, ecologists, political scientists, humanists, and historians. Professor Michael Walzer, one of the foremost political theorists of our time, retires from the School of Social Science, effective July 1, 2007, becoming Professor Emeritus. Danielle Allen, formerly Dean of the Humanities Division of the University of Chicago, joins the Institute in July as Dr. Walzer’s successor. Awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2002, Dr. Allen has contributed work in democratic theory, political sociology, the linguistic dimensions of politics, and the history of political thought that is of great importance to society. Robert Langlands, Hermann Weyl Professor in the School of Mathematics, whose work continues to have a wide impact on mathematics and parts of theoretical physics, also retires as of July after thirty-five years on the Faculty, becoming Professor Emeritus. Peter Sarnak, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton University and a frequent Member in the School of Mathematics, joins the Faculty of the School of Mathematics, effective July 1, 2007. Dr. Sarnak, who has made major contributions to many areas of mathematics, particularly number theory, is noted for his considerable insights and generosity as a mentor and colleague. In the School of Natural Sciences, Scott Tremaine, formerly Charles A. Young Professor at Princeton REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF REPORT University, where he had served as Chair of the Department of Astrophysical Sciences since 1998, succeeded the late John Norris Bahcall (1934–2005) as the Richard Black Professor of Astrophysics as of January 1, 2007.

6 Dr. Tremaine’s appointment strengthens the Institute’s unsurpassed reputation as a center for astrophysical research that shapes the careers of young astrophysicists. The appointment of particle physicist Nima Arkani- Hamed, Professor of Physics at Harvard University,whose theoretical research will play a major role in understanding the experimental developments of the Large Hadron Collider, will take effect on January 1, 2008.

Financially,the Institute is on strong footing with a $680 million endowment from But I do think that to have which the Institute draws income to cover the majority of its expenses. In order to preserve the Institute’s mission for future generations, the Institute is in the a place that can offer the midst of a capital campaign to raise $100 million, of which $72 million has thus best minds the opportunity far been raised. to pursue their scholarship It would have been impossible to bring about the progress that has been achieved at the highest level without in the last twenty-one years without the remarkable group of Trustees the burdens of administration Institute has been able to attract. The extraordinary quality of the Board was or degree-granting or even recently enhanced by the May appointment of Andrew J. Wiles, Eugene Higgins teaching, to allow these Professor of Mathematics and Chair of the Department of Mathematics at Princeton University, as Academic Trustee for the School of Mathematics. A individuals to set their own world-renowned mathematician and frequent Member of the School of pace, to decide themselves Mathematics, Dr. Wiles is perhaps best known for his proof of Fermat’s Last how they can achieve their Theorem, for which he was honored by the International Mathematical Union in highest objectives, and then 1998. facilitate their actions, Dr. Wiles succeeds James Arthur, who served as Academic Trustee for the School is an exceptional model. of Mathematics from 1997 until the end of his term in May. One of the world’s foremost researchers in automorphic forms and Lie group representations and a frequent Member in the School, Dr. Arthur was an extraordinarily effective advocate on behalf of the School of Mathematics, as well as mathematics in the academic world and in society as a whole. At its May meeting, the Board also accepted the resignation of Ronaldo Schmitz, who joined the Board in 1992 and was elected Trustee Emeritus. During his fifteen years of service on the Board, Dr. Schmitz, a former member of the Board of Managing Directors of Deutsche Bank AG, was instrumental in promoting the international character and high standing of the Institute and acted as a strong supporter of the Institute’s role in the advancement of research. The Institute remains small when measured in terms of the size of its immediate academic community, but its intellectual weight is great and its influence on science and scholarship extraordinary. The Institute obvi-

ously cannot cover every academic field. Nor do I think it is the answer to every intellectual challenge that REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN faces mankind. But I do think that to have a place that can offer the best minds the opportunity to pursue their scholarship at the highest level without burdens of administration or degree-granting or even teaching, to allow these individuals to set their own pace, to decide themselves how they can achieve their highest objectives, and then facilitate their actions, is an exceptional model. The Institute is as close to ideal for scholarship as anything I have seen, and I am immensely honored to have served alongside my colleagues on the Board, as well as with the Directors, Faculty,and staff, who on a daily basis enable the advancement of knowledge and the structure of thought and research for future generations.

7 Report of the Director

very year at the Institute brings with it significant changes and points of transition and this is certainly true of the academic year just past. Most obviously, approaching Fuld Hall along Einstein Drive, one Ecould monitor the progress of the construction of the extension to Bloomberg Hall to house The Simons Center for Systems Biology, scheduled for opening at the end of October 2007. The Center com- prises the group of outstanding young scientists, with diverse backgrounds, particularly in physics and mathematics, and some senior visitors that has been built up over the last four years under the leadership of Arnold Levine to work on aspects of genomics. More than any other area of study at the Institute, this is one where pure intellectual inquiry leads to results with applications of practical importance in the development of vaccines for AIDS and influenza as well as understanding the incidence of various cancers. Bringing all members of the group together under the same roof as the rest of the School of Natural Sciences will both facilitate interactions within the group and with other Members of the Institute. Also in the School of Natural Sciences, Scott Tremaine, formerly Charles A.Young Professor and Chair of the Department of Astrophysical Sciences at Princeton University, joined us as Richard Black Professor of Astrophysics in the School of Natural Sciences at the beginning of January. A specialist in astrophysical dynamics, including the formation and evolution of planetary systems, comets, black holes, star clusters, galaxies, and galaxy systems, Professor Tremaine succeeds the late John Bahcall. His appointment will ensure the continuance of the Institute’s unsurpassed reputation as a center for astrophysical research and the development of young astrophysicists. In theoretical physics, the third area of research within the School of Natural Sciences, we announced the appointment of particle physicist Nima Arkani-Hamed, Professor of Physics at Harvard University,who joins the Faculty at the beginning of January 2008. One of the leading particle physics phenomenologists of his generation, Professor Arkani-Hamed will ensure that those working on fundamental physics at the Institute will be well positioned to take advantage of the new experimental results that are expected to be produced by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, beginning in 2008. These should bear on the validity of ideas about supersymmetry, the Higgs boson, and perhaps even string theory, developed here and elsewhere. Transition has been most marked in the School of Social Science. Clifford Geertz, the founding Professor and guiding spirit of the School of Science since its inception in 1973, died on October 30, 2006. Eighty years old, he was still a vital force in the Institute’s daily life, as any visitor to the Social Science lunch table would have found. On March 3,Wolfensohn Hall was full to overflowing for a memorial for Professor Geertz, in which he was brought alive in affectionate descriptions, from the diverse standpoints of the many distinguished scholars he had influenced; it was an occasion that embodied the essence of his own approach to culture. Michael Walzer, political theorist and moral philosopher, retires as of July as UPS Foundation Professor in the School of Social Science after twenty-seven years’ service. One of America’s foremost political thinkers, his work addresses a wide variety of topics, including political obligation, just and unjust war, nationalism and ethnicity, economic justice and the welfare state. Appointed to succeed Professor Walzer is Danielle Allen, formerly Dean of the Humanities Division and Professor of Classical Languages and Literatures, Political Science, and the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago, who joins the Institute at the beginning of July. Trained both as a classicist and a political theorist, her particular interests are democratic theory, political sociology, the linguistic dimensions of politics, and the history of political thought, and she is widely known for her work on justice and citizen- ship in ancient Athens and its application to modern America.

he School of Historical Studies is concerned principally with the history of Western European, Near Eastern, and East Asian civilizations. Both inside and outside these broad areas of study, Faculty and T Members have pursued a wide range of topics. The emphasis has traditionally been on Greek and Roman civilization, medieval, early modern and modern European history, history of art, and the history of science; but over time the School’s interests have been enlarged to include Islamic culture, the history of SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES China and Japan, modern international relations, and more recently, music studies. Over 2,000 scholars have come to the School since its foundation, and their work here in these and other areas of research has regu- larly been enriched by the fruitful interaction of disciplines in a small and collegial community. The School’s broad interpretation of the meaning of “Historical Studies” continues to be reflected in the research projects pursued by the fifty-four Members and three Visitors who joined the School for the academic year 2006–07. Their research spanned a diverse range of historical subjects, including the history of art, philosophy, music, religion, international relations, literature, science, and mathematics, as well as ancient history and the classics. The periods studied ranged from the Ptolemaic Empire (as far back as 300 BC) to the late twentieth century. Research carried out in the School also extended over a wide geographic range: from Europe, Egypt, the Byzantine Empire, the Middle East, Central Asia,the Indian subcontinent, China, and Japan to the Americas. The group of scholars who joined the School in 2006–07 was itself internationally diverse, including citizens of Canada, Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Members received support both from the Institute’s own funds and from a variety of external sources, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W.Mellon Foundation, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Gerda Henkel Foundation, and The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation. 13 14 SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES

This was George F. Kennan Professor Avishai Margalit’s first year at the Institute. He discovered that Peter Goddard was right; the Institute does not offer any alibi not to work. His main project during the year was writing a book, Compromises and Rotten Compromises, dealing with political compromises, especially in international relations. The kernel of the book is his Tanner Lectures of 2005, greatly expanded. He completed a draft and is now working on polishing it. The book will be published by Princeton University Press in 2008. Other writing assignments he completed during the year included: a long essay on Wittgenstein’s influence in twentieth-century analytic philosophy (to appear in a festschrift published by Blackwell); an essay on Spinoza and Leibniz appeared in the New York Review of Books on April 12, 2007; and a commentary on this year’s Tanner Lectures (given by Professor Joshua Cohen of Stanford University), on the topic of global public reason, will be published by Oxford University Press. In addition to writing, he lectured in many venues, including talks at the Center for Human Values at Princeton University on “Indecent Com- promises”; a University of Toronto conference on “Peace and Rationality in the Middle East”; at Stanford University on “Compromises”; to the Friends of the Institute on “The West and the Rest”; and to Institute staff on “Compromises and Rotten Compromises.” He had many working lunches with Members of the Institute, trying to assist with their work; letters he received at the end of their stays make him believe that he was of some help. Heinrich von Staden

SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL In the academic year 2006–07, Professor ’s external lectures included the following. In December 2006, he gave the Frederic L. Holmes Lecture at Yale University on “Sexual Activity, Health, and Disease in Ancient Greece.”With two former Members of the Institute, 18 Jacques Jouanna and Philip van der Eijk, he presented a symposium on “Hippocrates and Hippocratic Medicine: The Current State of Research” at Columbia University’s Center for the Ancient Mediterranean, also in early December. On this occasion, Professor von Staden contributed a paper on “The Hellenistic Hippocrates.” In April, he gave a lecture at the University of Zurich (Hellas Gesellschaft) on the cultural implications of prescriptions of sexual abstinence and sexual intercourse in ancient medical texts. In May, he gave a talk at Princeton University at the invitation of the national Association of Ancient Historians (at their annual meeting) on “The Physician as Historian,” in which he explored features of historiography embedded in ancient technical literature. In June, he gave the annual Paterson Lecture at the annual meeting of the Canadian Society for the History of Medicine, in conjunction with the Canadian Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences; his topic was “The Physiology of Morals.” He also participated in a colloquium at the Berlin- Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften that celebrated the hun- dredth anniversary of the founding of the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum/Latinorum (“Antike Medizin im Schnittpunkt von Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften”), and in the annual meeting of the “Arbeitskreis Alte Medizin” at the University of Mainz in early June. Aside from a number of book reviews, he completed several articles, including “Interpreting ‘Hippokrates’ in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC,”in Ärzte und ihre Interpreten. Medizinische Fachtexte der Antike als Forschungsgegenstand der Klassischen Philologie, edited by C.W. Müller, C. Brockmann, and C.W. Brunschön (Munich/Leipzig, 2006), pp. 15–47, as well as articles on the Hippocratic oath, catharsis, and the sublime. In April, Professor von Staden gave Professor von Staden also continued to serve on the editorial boards of a lecture at the University of several journals in the United States and in Europe.

21 SCHOOL OF HISTORICAL STUDIES HISTORICAL OF SCHOOL During the 2006–07 academic year, Professor Emeritus Peter Paret wrote a new introduction for the third revised edition of his monograph Clausewitz and the State, which Princeton University Press published in the spring of 2007. He wrote reviews for The American Historical Review and for The Journal of Military History. In its series, Oxford World Classics, Oxford University Press published a condensed version of the English edition of Carl von Clausewitz’s On War, which he and Michael Howard translated and edited. Cambridge University Press reprinted his monograph An Artist against the Third Reich: Ernst Barlach, 1933–1938, which also appeared in a German translation, Ein Künstler im Dritten Reich—Ernst Barlach, His new work will be a critical 1933–1938 (Berlin: wjs Verlag), 2007.

Kant’s ethical theory, and in Hegel’s philosophy of history. Professor White continues to work on a “prequel” to his book A Philosophy of Culture (2002). His new work will be a critical study of the ideas of necessary truth, indubitability, and certainty in the writings of philosophers from Descartes to the present day, a study in which White tries to show how highly technical rationalistic views in logic, epistemology, and metaphysics were used to defend controversial views in the wider philosophy of culture; for example, in Descartes’s attempt to prove the existence of God, in Hobbes’s political philosophy, in Kant’s ethical theory, and in Hegel’s philosophy of history. This examination will continue with a study of similar efforts by philosophers and thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thereby providing a background for the views set forth in White’s A Philosophy of Culture.

uring the academic year 2006–07, the School of Mathematics conducted a special program in algebraic geometry. This subject, with deep classical roots, is one of the most active areas in contempo- Drary mathematics. Especially notable are its interconnections with number theory, mathematical physics, and topology. The scientific activities, numerous informal seminars, and exchanges and collaborations that arose during the year reflected the depth and breadth of algebraic geometry.We will briefly describe a few of these. Two of the central areas of activity in algebraic geometry are the new categorical/homotopical methods being brought to bear on one of the central questions of algebraic geometry, namely motivic cohomology, and the fascinating set of issues related to homological mirror symmetry. The latter in large part is an outgrowth of the very rich interface between theoretical physics and mathematics, especially algebraic and symplectic geometry.

Homological mirror symmetry attracted wide interest and participation throughout the year and was the sub- SCHOOL OF MATHEMATICS ject of two workshops, one in each term, which were supported by the National Science Foundation. The Institute provided an interdisciplinary environment and many opportunities for collaboration between string theorists, symplectic topologists, algebraic and differential geometers, and representation theorists. By bringing together researchers from all of these fields, the program aimed to proliferate the cutting-edge research in algebraic, topological, differential geometric, and string theoretic aspects of mirror symmetry, and highlight the new trends, challenges, and open problems the subject has to offer. In that respect, the activity was very successful. The seminar lectures and the formal and informal research group meetings throughout the program not only streamlined and organized the exciting new discoveries in birational geometry, moduli theory, Hodge theory, symplectic topology, and stringy geometry, but also managed to refine the creative energies of the individual participants in the program in a cohesive effort to understand the newly emerging aspects of all of the subjects involved. Specifically, the workshops were: ✦ “Homological Mirror Symmetry and Applications” (January 22–26, 2007).

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

rofessor Stephen Adler worked in three areas last year: (1) phenomenology of modified forms of quantum theory, (2) particle physics phenomenology relating to the PVLAS experiment, and to pion-pion Pscattering current algebra sum rules, and (3) open system dynamics. In work relating to tests of modified forms of quantum theory,Adler wrote a paper that makes quantitative estimates of lower and upper bounds on the parameter that sets the magnitude of the stochastic noise term in the modified Schrödinger equation of the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model for state vector reduction. The lower bound comes from an analysis of latent image formation in photography and etched track detectors, while the upper bound comes from a consideration of heating of the intergalactic medium. The results suggest that to account for latent image formation, the stochastic process must be eight to nine SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES orders of magnitude stronger than conventionally assumed. This should make tests of stochastic localization models feasible in the next decade or two. In work on the PVLAS experiment,Adler analyzed effects resulting from vacuum birefringence in a rotating magnetic field, and showed that claims of an infinite set of sidebands are incorrect. In work on pion-pion current algebra sum rules,Adler (with F.J.Ynduráin) analyzed a sum rule proposed by Adler in 1965, which is a pion analog of the celebrated Adler-Weisberger sum rule. In 1965 there was not sufficiently good data on pion-pion scattering to definitively check this sum rule. There is now very good data on pion-pion scattering, a subject in which Ynduráin and his collaborators have played a very prominent role. A reanalysis of the pion-pion sum rule shows that it is satisfied to better than 6 percent, well within experimental and off-shell extrapolation errors. Furthermore, as Adler suggested in 1965, the new analysis shows that a large S-wave cross section plays a dominant role in saturating the sum rule. In work on open system dynamics, Adler proposed a density tensor hierarchy that generalizes the standard reduced density matrix, in which classical noise is averaged out, or quantum noise is traced out by tracing over the environment. The hierarchy takes the form of an operator acting on the tensor product of n copies 43 44 SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES

Extremophiles Hospital Szostak Institute Prospects in Theoretical Physics

The School of Natural Sciences sponsors Prospects in Theoretical Physics (PiTP), an intensive two-week summer program geared specifically to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars considering a career in theoretical physics. First held at the Institute for Advanced Study in 2002, PiTP has, in past years, covered topics ranging from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to string theory. The program builds on the strong relationship between the research groups at the Institute and Princeton University. Representatives from both institutions are among the program’s organizers and lecturers. PiTP encourages the participation of women, minorities, and students from institutions that do not have extensive programs in theoretical physics or access to research universities. The 2007 PiTP program was held from July 16–27 at the Institute. The theme of the 2007 program was “The Standard Model and Beyond.”It focused on particle physics phenomenology with special emphasis on model building. The goal of the program was to prepare young physicists for the physics that will emerge from the LHC, scheduled to release the first data in 2008. Over 120 individuals were officially enrolled in the program, with a majority of the visiting students living in the Institute’s housing complex during the program. Moreover, the program lectures attracted many students, postdoctorates, and professors from nearby institutions. The Prospects in Theoretical Physics program is under the direction of Professor Chiara R. Nappi,a Princeton University physics professor, and she is assisted by a local organizing committee of area physicists. This year’s organizers and program directors were Michael Dine of the University of California at Santa Cruz and Nathan Seiberg of the Institute for Advanced Study. In addition to the organizers, lecturers included: Nima Arkani-Hamed (Harvard University); Stephen D. Ellis (University of Washington); Igor Klebanov (Princeton University); Paul Langacker (Institute for Advanced Study); Markus A. Luty (University of Maryland); Juan Maldacena (Institute for Advanced Study); Aneesh V. Manohar (University of California, San Diego); Konstantin Matchev (University of Florida); Yosef Nir (Weizmann Institute of Science); Michael E. Peskin (SLAC, Stanford University); Scott Thomas (Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey); and Edward Witten (Institute for Advanced Study). Prospects in Theoretical Physics 2007 was supported by The Concordia Foundation.

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES

he School of Social Science invited twenty scholars from a pool of 186 applicants from the United States and abroad to be part of the School’s scholarly community as Members for the 2006–07 aca- Tdemic year. Nine visitors and two research assistants also participated in the year’s activities. The National Endowment for the Humanities partially or fully funded three Members. Economists were supported by grants from the Leon Levy Foundation and Institute Trustee Roger Ferguson, as well as the Richard B. Fisher and the Deutsche Bank Memberships. Fields of inquiry of the group included political science (8), economics (6), anthropology (5), philosophy (3), history (2), psychology (2), literature (2), sociology (2), and geography (1). The thematic focus for 2006–07 was “The ‘Third World’ Now.” The last sixty years have seen a dramatic change in the shape of the world. Colonial empires have dissolved either violently or peacefully and a new international system has taken shape. From the original forty-two members of the League of Nations, the United Nations has grown to 191. In many states founded by charismatic spokesmen for national liberation, there is now a second generation of more managerial types. And there is a different, volatile configuration of alliances and antagonisms among them. There have been many studies over the years of such matters as the modernization and development of emerging economies, postcolonial culture and politics, ethnic rivalries within and among nations, and post–Cold War realignments. Most such studies have been conducted within the context of “globalization,” and have used categories of analysis that, in the light of recent history, appear dated and inadequate to the task.What is lacking, and what we are hoping to provide, is a map of structure, SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCE and form. Such a map requires not only empirical work (from historians, ethnographers, political economists, geographers, sociologists), but new and revised categories of analysis that will illuminate the patterns that have emerged. The thematic year was designed to bring together a group of scholars from all over the world whose individual work (substantive and focused as well as theoretical) would contribute to the drawing of this map and who collectively would articulate the analytic categories that can make sense of the “third world” as it is now.

The School conducted three seminar series: the Social Science Thursday Luncheon Seminar, “The ‘Third World’Now” Thematic Seminar, and the IAS/Princeton University Economics Workshop. The School continued publication of its series of Occasional Papers and Economics Working Papers, which can be accessed via the Institute’s website. In October, the School mourned the passing of its founding professor, noted anthropologist and Professor Emeritus Clifford Geertz; in March, over 200 people attended a memorial event for him at the Institute.

P r o g r a m ; this topicinformed flec- of . The Statistical mechanics is a broad and very active field of research, which attracted a wide audience of students and researchers. The Graduate Summer School drew 140 applications and the research program drew more than eighty.With the addition of financial support from institutional and individual research grants, the program was able to accommodate ninety-six graduate student participants and seventy researchers.

The Graduate Summer School There were six graduate courses aimed at bringing the current developments in statistical mechanics to the participants: An Introduction to the Schramm Löwner Evolution; Gregory Lawler, University of Chicago Zeros of Gaussian Analytic Functions, Determinantal Processes and Gravitational Allocation;Yuval Peres, Microsoft Research and University of California, Berkeley Lectures on Random Matrices; Alice Guionnet, Écolecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon The Renormalization Group and Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics; David Brydges, University of British Columbia Dimers and Random Surfaces; Richard Kenyon, University of British Columbia Conformal Invariant Models;Wendelin Werner, Université Paris-Sud

The Colloquium Lecture Series, designed to be both accessible to graduate students and interesting to those in the research program, was introduced this year: Continuum Limits of Random Matrices; Balint Virag, University of Toronto Conformal Random Geometry and Quantum Gravity; Bertrand Duplantier, Service de Physique Théorique de Saclay Random shapes and Random Maps: SLE and Significant Others; Ilya Gruzberg, University of Chicago Wave Fronts and Frozen Boundaries; Andrei Okounkov, Princeton University Random Walks and Interfaces; Alain-Sol Sznitman, ETH Zurich Scaling Limits of Large Systems of Interacting Particles; Srinivasa Varadhan, New York University

The Research Program The Research Program was initiated this year by a Cross Program lecture,“A Random Walk through Statistical Mechanics,” by Thomas Spencer. The core of the Research Program comprised a series of seminar talks: Asymptotics for Two-interval SLE Hitting Probabilities on the Real Line; Tom Alberts, Courant Institute NYU Long Time Fluctuations of TASEP; Alexei Borodin, California Institute of Technology Spin Glasses and Stein’s Method; Sourav Chatterjee, University of California, Berkeley The Dimer Model with Holes and Electrostatics; Mihai Ciucu, Georgia Institute of Technology A Supersymmetric Model for Quantum Diffusion in 3D; Margherita Disertori, Université de Rouen/Laboratoire de mathématiques Raphaël Salem A Stochastic Growth of an Interface on a Plane: Fluctuations for the KPZ Universality Class; Patrik Ferrari, Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics Random Even Graphs and the Quantum Ising Model; Geoffrey Grimmett, University of Cambridge Rational Resonances in Random Cycles on a Torus; Alan Hammond, Courant Institute Derivative Estimates and Second Moment Bounds for SLE; Gregory Lawler, University of Chicago Dimension and Natural Perametrization for SLE; Gregory Lawler, University of Chicago Gaussian Techniques in Additive Combinatorics, Computational complexity, and Social Choice; Elchanan Mossel,

Clay Mathematics Institute Senior Scholar-in-Residence Through the generous support of the Clay Mathematics Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, PCMI wel- comed two Senior Scholars-in-Residence to the 2007 Summer Session: Andrei Okounkov, Princeton University; and Srinivasa Varadhan, Courant Mathematics Institute. Varadhan gave a lecture in the Secondary School Teachers Program, “Informal Discussion on Probability for Secondary School Teachers,” and gave a public lecture,“Developments in Probability Theory: A Brief History,” describing the early history of probability and its placement in the wider context of statistical mechanics. Okounkov also spoke to the Secondary School Teachers Program and gave a well-received public lecture,“The Most Random of All Possible Worlds.” The Clay Senior Scholar-in-Residence program, which is in its fourth year at PCMI, has become a keystone to the success of the PCMI Graduate Summer School and Research Program.

Undergraduate Summer School Some forty-eight undergraduate students attended the Undergraduate Summer School (USS) at the PCMI Summer Session. The USS was organized around two courses, one aimed at introductory-level students (in this year’s case, students whose backgrounds included some probability but no advanced analysis) and the other intended for students at a more advanced undergraduate level. The introductory course was “A Nontechnical Introduction to Recent Advances in Discrete Probability and Mathematical Physics,”taught by Marek Biskup of University of California, Los Angeles. The advanced course was “An Introduction to Brownian Motion and its Applications,” taught by Omer Angel of the University of Toronto. Professor Biskup’s introductory course focused on random walks, branching processes, and percolation. Professor Angel’s advanced course discussed Brownian motion in one and higher dimensions. Beautiful lecture notes were produced, and are available at Biskup’s homepage: www.math.ucla.edu/~biskup/. The intent is to publish lecture notes from both courses together in a single book suitable for advanced undergraduates.

Undergraduate Faculty Program The Undergraduate Faculty Program (UFP) was organized and coordinated by David A. Levin of the University of Oregon. Professor Levin presented a course on “Markov Chains and Mixing Times,” studying how fast a system becomes well mixed. The classic example of these problems is The classic example of these card shuffling; the course considered several strategies for shuffling a deck, in addi- problems is card shuffling; the tion to random-walks on graphs, and many other problems that coordinated well course considered several with the statistical mechanics theme. strategies for shuffling a deck, Another objective of the UFP,in addition to developing the subject area, was to in addition to random-walks demonstrate how to incorporate materials on Markov chains and mixing times into an undergraduate probability course. To achieve this objective, the twelve lec- on graphs, and many other tures were supplemented by seminars in which the participants worked through problems that coordinated problems in an informal setting. well with the overarching sta- In keeping with PCMI’s focus on crossprogram participation, the UFP reached out tistical mechanics theme of to several of its peer programs at the Summer Session. In addition to the nine UFP IAS/PCMI the PCMI program. participants, a group of seven secondary mathematics teachers led by Darryl Yong (Harvey Mudd College) created a working group on applied probability and attended the UFP class for the first two weeks. Based on their experiences in the class, the group developed 72 two sets of learning materials: 1) a series of worksheets and activities to help secondary-level students explore the connection between transition probabilities of a Markov chain and its steady-state probability distribu- tion (without explicitly mentioning those terms or using linear algebra); and 2) a series of lesson plans that construct the concepts of probability and randomness through explorations with shuffling methods and dice rolling. The UFP also attracted a handful of undergraduate and graduate students interested in the topic of mixing times. David Levin and his coauthors Yuval Peres and Elizabeth Wilmer are presently writing a textbook, Markov Chains and Mixing Times. They generously made available the draft manuscript to the UFP participants, providing both a complete set of notes for the course and foundational materials for future explorations in the subject.

The Secondary School Teacher Program (SSTP) Fifty-seven middle school and high school teachers spent three weeks learning mathematics, reflecting on what it means to teach mathematics, and working together to produce a product to share with their colleagues both at PCMI and more broadly through Web-based resources at the PCMI website. Courses were delivered electronically to six additional teachers in McAllen, Texas, as part of the Math Science Partnership Project known as PD3 (PCMI and Districts Partner to Design Professional Development) funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). In the other sessions, participants solved problems Two NSF grants currently support different aspects of the SSTP. The Math 3 that introduced concepts Science Partnership grant supports the PD project, which has been extended to operate through the summer of 2008.

Twenty-five teachers at the SSTP were returning for a second or third year and ranged from teachers with one year of teaching experience to seasoned veterans. A special component of this year’s program was the attendance of three high school teachers from Uganda, two of whom had been part of the PCMI International Seminar in previous years. The Ugandan teachers were paired with a program staff member and two PD3 teachers as part of a project to establish a PCMI-like institute in Uganda during the summer of 2008. In keeping with PCMI’s focus on crossprogram interaction, the SSTP this year realized an increasingly successful interface with the Clay Senior Scholars-in-Residence and other mathematicians at PCMI. Two of the formal crossprogram activities were delivered by the SSTP participants and program staff. The “Pizza and Problem Solving Sessions” brought SSTP participants into an informal and highly collegial situation with participants from the other PCMI programs.

Designing and Delivering Professional Development (DDPD) During the first week of the SSTP,fifteen secondary-level mathematics supervisors and university-level mathematics educators attended the Designing and Delivering Professional Development program. The DDPD participants attended the regular SSTP sessions and then spent time considering the role of proof and its treatment in secondary mathematics and in professional development programs. Darryl Yong from Harvey Mudd and Brian Hopkins from St. Peters College each shared some of the activities they conducted with their respective PDO groups, and Nicole Davis from the Seattle PD3 site shared the complex instruc- IAS/PCMI tion approach to teaching that is being used by the teachers in the Seattle PD3 schools. In the other sessions, participants solved problems that introduced concepts and then discussed the process of finding solutions, the reasoning used, and the role of proof. Johnny Lott from the University of Mississippi chaired the sessions and also provided individual small group discussion sessions for those with particular interests or challenges.

Mathematics Education Research Program Begun in 2001, the annual PCMI “International Seminar on Mathematics Education: Bridging Policy and 73 Practice” brings diverse perspectives and practices to a U.S. national dialogue on The 2007 International mathematics education. The 2007 International Seminar focused on reasoning and Seminar focused on proof, the implications of technology, and the mathematical knowledge needed by teachers for working with these concepts. This year’s International Seminar brought reasoning and proof, the teams from Australia, Colombia, Mexico, Namibia, the Netherlands, Turkey, and implications of technology, Vietnam to work with a team from the United States. Each team included two par- and the mathematical ticipants, a currently practicing teacher and an educational policy person or math- knowledge needed by ematics education researcher. teachers for working During the International Seminar, each particpating country presented a short with these concepts. report giving their viewpoints on specific questions related to reasoning and proof. The reports were discussed and responded to by each of the other countries, and issues emerging from the conversations formed the basis for jointly written policy briefs: Assessment of Reasoning and Proof; Conditions for the Effective Teaching and Learning of Reasoning and Proof; and The Nature and Role of Proof.

Crossprogram Activities Crossprogram Activities take many forms and are a defining feature of PCMI, serving to build understanding, professional respect, and a sense of shared purpose among all the constituents of the mathematical enterprise. Formal and informal Crossprogram Activities were held in the afternoons and evenings during the 2007 Summer Session. The annual Fourth of July Parade in Park City is a popular event involving the creation and execution of a mathematical entry. This year’s PCMI entry was “America at Its Prime.” Ninety-two participants from across the PCMI programs marched together in the parade, executing, among other things, a “random walk” in keeping with PCMI’s mathematical theme. The entry, directed by Secondary School Teacher and PD3 participant Alan Bond, was awarded the prize for “Smartest Entry” by the Park City Ambassadors Parade Committee. Two evenings of “Pizza and Problem Solving” were organized and presented by Andrew Bernoff of Harvey Mudd College: “Some Random Problems from Statistical Mechanics” and “Mathematical Games.” On each of these two evenings, between 180 and 220 participants attended, representing all the programs at PCMI. The participants tackled brainteasers together and presented solutions to each other at the end of the evening. Other evening activities included the opening and closing dinners for participants and their families as well as a session of building cells and other structures with Zometools. The full listing of formal Crossprogram Activities is as follows: Address of Welcome by the Honorable Jon Huntsman Jr., Governor of the State of Utah Pizza and Problem Solving (2 sessions); Andrew Bernoff, Harvey Mudd College.

74 PD3: PCMI and Districts Partner to Design Professional Development PCMI received a three-year Math Science Partnership (MSP) award from the National Science Foundation in 2003, the prototype “Institutes award” for the nationwide MSP project at that time.With that award, professional development partnerships in three diverse school districts were created as part of a project known as PD3; Cincinnati (Ohio), McAllen (Texas),and Seattle (Washington) were the initial project sites. In the summer of 2006, PCMI received a two-year continuation of that funding from the National Science Foundation, ensuring that the PD3 project will continue through the summer of 2008. In the fall of 2006, the Las Cruces and Gadsden school districts in New Mexico took the place of the Cincinnati project schools; the Cincinnati project was lost through a major change in district personnel and district policy in 2005-06. The Seattle project and the McAllen project will continue to be part of the PD3 program. The PD3 project supports the participation of teachers and district administrators working in concert with university mathematicians and mathematics educators to design professional development offerings based on PCMI’s three-fold model: 1) continuing to do mathematics, 2) reflection on teaching practice, and 3) becoming and serving as a resource to one’s colleagues.Activities at the sites are unique to the needs of each school’s teachers and curriculum, with a core group of teachers expected to attend the PCMI Summer Session each year, either in Park City or via the “e-table” format. The goal is to promote change in individual schools and eventually to entire districts. In each of the three school districts, PCMI strives to attain three goals it hypothesizes will bring improve- ment in teaching and learning mathematics in the school: 1) teachers open their doors (to colleagues, administrators, and parents) and make teaching public; 2) district and building administrators support the PD3 professional development program; 3) teachers serve as leaders in developing and modeling ways to improve mathematics teaching and learning in their buildings and districts.

Teacher Professional Continuum (TPC) Project Since 2001, PCMI has offered a problem-based mathematics course to the Secondary School Teacher participants at the annual Summer Session, based on a mathematical theme related in some way to the PCMI mathematical topic. The National Science Foundation in 2006 awarded a grant to PCMI whereby this mathematical course is developed into a published series of professional development materials suitable for use by 1) universities as undergraduate courses; 2) professional development organizations; and 3) other programs and organizations, including in-service teachers. The materials, created and implemented at PCMI by the Education Development Center (EDC) of Newton, Massachusetts, are unique in their approach to mathematics-based professional development for teachers, requiring group work and offering multiple points of access to accommodate the varying education levels of participants.

Uganda Initiative During 2007, PCMI continued its commitment to support the establishment of a PCMI-like institute in Uganda within the next few years. This commitment originated in response to an invitation from the World Bank Education Sector, which helped identify Ugandan mathematics leadership and initially intended to provide funding for the project. Adequate funding for the event itself did not mate- rialize; however, interest and expectations had already arisen among Ugandan In both 2005 and 2006, mathematics professionals. PCMI continued to uphold its commitment to prepare a Ugandan mathematics those Ugandan professionals to lead an institute in Uganda, if and when funding educator and a Ugandan is secured. secondary teacher IAS/PCMI In 2005, a Ugandan mathematician in the area of biomathematics participated in participated in the PCMI the PCMI Summer Session Research Program and Graduate Summer School on International Seminar to mathematical biology. In both 2005 and 2006, a Ugandan mathematics educator and a Ugandan secondary teacher participated in the PCMI International Seminar help formulate the overall to help formulate the overall structure of an eventual PCMI-Uganda. In July structure of an eventual 2007, three Ugandan secondary teachers teamed with a U.S. teacher in the PCMI PCMI-Uganda. 75 Secondary School Teachers Program. This team of six will serve as the teacher-mentor team in the eventual program for Ugandan teachers. PCMI has contributed its own resources to this enterprise, and additional support has been received from the Millennium Science Initiative, the International Mathematical Union, and the National Science Foundation Mathematical Biosciences Institute. PCMI continues to be active in the search to secure core funding needed to finally establish PCMI-Uganda.

Publication Series PCMI is very pleased to make the proceedings of its Summer Session available to the public. The publication of Volume 13 is slated for late 2007, with Volumes 14 and 15 due in 2008. Also published are five volumes in the Park City Mathematics Institute Subseries, which is a subsection of the AMS Student Mathematics Series.

The HS-SS Library is strongest in classical studies, ancient history,and archaeology, but it contains basic document collections, reference works, and important secondary works of scholarship in most fields of history and the social sciences. The journal collection is extensive, and fairly complete backruns exist to the founding of the Institute. The HS-SS Library has occupied its present building since 1964. The Institute’s rare book collection, the gift of Lessing J. Rosenwald, consists of about 2,000 volumes on the history of science and was compiled by Herbert M. Evans in the 1930s. The collection, which is housed in a special room, includes numerous first editions of important scientific works in mathematics, astronomy, physics, and the life sciences. Additional volumes have been added through various gifts, most notably through the Leon Levy Fund, expanding the subject scope of the collection. The HS-SS Library has begun receiving books from the library of the late Walther Heissig, one of the world’s leading authorities on Mongolian and Central Asian studies who founded the Institute of Linguistic and Cultural Sciences of Central Asia at the University of Bonn. Walther Heissig’s library comes to the Institute partly as gift and partly on deposit from Princeton University East Asian Studies Department and Princeton University Library. The HS-SS Library has an extensive collection of offprints, including those received by Professors Andrew E. Z. Alföldi,Kurt Gödel,Ernst H. Kantorowicz,Elias Avery Lowe,Millard Meiss,Erwin Panofsky,Marshall Clagett,Harry Woolf, and former Members Robert Huygens and Walther Kirchner. The microfilm collections of the HS-SS Library include a large selection from The HS-SS Library has Manuscripta, a collection of several thousand fifteenth- to nineteenth-century printed begun receiving books books from the Vatican Library.

The collection, which includes about 30,000 volumes of monographs and bound periodicals as well as 160 the University of Bonn. print and electronic subscriptions, spans pure and applied mathematics, astrophysics, theoretical and mathematical physics, and biology. The M-NS Library has an extensive collection of the collected works of mathematicians, including works by Gauss, Poincare, Cauchy, Hardy, Descartes, and Fermat. Each year, the M-NS Library adds about 300 books to its collection. Both of the Institute’s libraries participate in the shared cataloguing system OCLC, which gives Institute scholars computerized access to a database that is in use by 57,000 libraries in 112 countries. Searches of this database retrieve bibliographic information and identify the location of materials. The Institute is a member of the RLG Program SHARES partnership, a resource-sharing program. The Institute’s Web-accessible online catalogue provides holdings information for the libraries and is accessible from anywhere in the world. The Institute’s libraries are participants in the JSTOR project, which makes available archival electronic versions of many core journals THE LIBRARIES in mathematics and the humanities. The HS-SS Library maintains a computer center with access to scanners and a variety of software packages for both PCs and Macintoshes, and access to databases in the fields of classical studies, the history of science, and Islamic and French studies. The M-NS Library’s electronic resources include access to Math-SciNet, an online catalogue, a variety of indexes, and a growing collection of full-text journals. All scholars affiliated with the Institute enjoy the same privileges as Princeton University faculty in the Princeton University Library system.All scholars also have privileges in the Robert E. Speer Library of the Princeton Theological Seminary. The librar- ians and the Faculty at the Institute warmly appreciate gifts of books and publications from former and current Members of the Institute. 79 Acknowledgments
