Information contained herein is current as of September 24, 2012. Mission and History

The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the world’s leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry. The Institute exists to encourage and support fundamental research in the sciences and human - ities—the original, often speculative thinking that produces advances in knowledge that change the way we understand the world. It provides for the mentoring of scholars by Faculty, and it offers all who work there the freedom to undertake research that will make significant contributions in any of the broad range of fields in the sciences and humanities studied at the Institute. Y

R Founded in 1930 by Louis Bamberger and his sister Caroline Bamberger O Fuld, the Institute was established through the vision of founding T

S Director Abraham Flexner. Past Faculty have included Albert Einstein, I

H who arrived in 1933 and remained at the Institute until his death in 1955, and other distinguished scientists and scholars such as Kurt Gödel, George F. D

N Kennan, Erwin Panofsky, Homer A. Thompson, John von Neumann, and

A Hermann Weyl. N

O Abraham Flexner was succeeded as Director in 1939 by Frank Aydelotte, I

S followed by J. Robert Oppenheimer (1947), Carl Kaysen (1966), Harry

S Woolf (1976), Marvin L. Goldberger (1987), Phillip A. Griffiths (1991), I and Peter Goddard (2004). In July 2012, Robbert Dijkgraaf became the M Institute’s ninth Director.

Dedicated to the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, the Institute has had permanent impact, in both intellectual and practical terms, through the work of its Faculty and Members. One of the Institute’s unique strengths is its permanent Faculty, whose broad interests and extensive ties to the larger academic world are reflected in their own work and also in the guidance and direction they provide. The Faculty, numbering no more than twenty-eight, selects and works closely with visiting Members and defines the major themes and questions that become the focus of each School’s seminars and other activities. Organized in four Schools (Historical Studies, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Science), the Faculty and Members interact with one another without any depart - mental or disciplinary barriers. Each year the Institute awards fellowships

2 to some 190 visiting Members from about one hundred universities and research institutions throughout the world. The Institute’s more than six thousand former Members hold positions of intellectual and scientific leadership in the United States and abroad. Thirty-three Nobel Laureates and thirty-eight out of fifty-two Fields Medalists, as well as many winners of the Wolf and MacArthur prizes, have been affiliated with the Institute.

Located in Princeton, New Jersey, the Institute is a private, independent academic institution with no formal links to other educational institu - tions. However, there is a great deal of intellectual, cultural, and social interaction with other nearby institutions. The Institute’s Historical Studies–Social Science Library has a collection of some 125,000 volumes and subscribes to more than 1,000 journals. The Mathematics–Natural

Sciences Library contains about 30,000 volumes and an important col - M I

lection of journals. Institute scholars have full access to the libraries of S

Princeton University and the Princeton Theological Seminary. S I O

The Institute is situated on eight hundred acres of land, the majority of N

which is conserved permanently, forming a key link in a network of green A spaces in central New Jersey and providing a tranquil environment for N Institute scholars and members of the community. The Institute does not D receive income from tuition or fees. Resources for operations come from H I

endowment income, grants from private foundations and government S agencies, and gifts from corporations and individuals. T O R Y

Robbert Dijkgraaf Director and Leon Levy Professor Robbert Dijkgraaf is a leading mathematical physicist who has made significant contributions to string theory and the advancement of science education. He has identified deep connections between particle physics and mathematics, as well as between different areas of mathematical physics. His work has influenced understanding of string theory in low dimensions, topological strings, the dynamics of supersymmetric gauge theories, and the quantum states of black holes. A distinguished public policy adviser and passionate advocate for science and the arts, Dijkgraaf previously served as President of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (200 8–12) and has been Co- Chair of the InterAcademy Council since 2009.

3 School of Historical Studies

Administrative Officer: Marian Gallagher Zelazny

The School of Historical Studies was established in 1949 with the merging of the School of Economics and Politics and the School of Humanistic Studies. It bears no resemblance to a traditional academic history department, but rather supports all learning for which historical methods are appropriate. The School embraces a historical approach to research

S throughout the humanistic disciplines, from socioeconomic develop -

E ments, political theory, and modern international relations, to the history I

D of art, science, philosophy, music, and literature. In geographical terms, the

U School concentrates primarily on th e history of Western, Near Eastern, T

S and Far Eastern civilizations, with emphasis on Greek and Roman civi - lization, the history of Europe (medieval, early modern, and modern), the L

A Islamic world, and East Asia. The School has also supported scholars whose

C work focuses on other regions, including Central Asia, India, Africa, and I

R the Americas. O T

S The Faculty and Members of the School do not adhere to any one point I of view but practice a range of methods of inquiry and scholarly styles, H both traditional and innovative. Uniquely positioned to sponsor work that F crosses conventional departmental and professional boundaries, the School O actively promotes interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization of ideas. L

O It thereby encourages the creation of new historical enterprises. O H C S

f First Term · s Second Term · v Visito r · vp Visiting Professor 20 School of Mathematics

Administrative Officer: Mary Jane Hayes

The School of Mathematics, established in 1933, was the first School at the Institute for Advanced Study. Oswald Veblen, Albert Einstein, John von Neumann, and Hermann Weyl were the first Faculty appointments. Kurt Gödel, who joined the Faculty in 1953, was one of the School’s first Members. Today, the School is an international center for research in mathematics and computer science. Members discover new mathematical

results and broaden their interests through seminars and interactions with S the Faculty and with each other. Several central themes in mathematics in C the last seventy-five years owe their major impetus to discoveries that took H O

place at the Institute. As an example, the creation of one of the first stored- O program computers, which von Neumann built on the Institute’s campus, L

influenced the development of today’s computers and formed the mathe - O matical basis for computer software. F M

During the 2012 –13 academic year, the School’s special program will focus A T

on univalent foundations of mathematics. The program activities will be H organized by Steve Awodey of Carnegie Mellon University, Thierry E Coquand of the University of Gothenburg, and Vladimir Voevodsky of the M Institute. The main goal of the program will be to make available to a A T wider mathematical audience the recent advances that may finally make it I C

practical for pure mathematicians to use “proof assistants” in their work. S

Other programs associated with the School are the Institute for Advanced Study/Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI), an innovative program integrating mathematics research and mathematics education, and the Program for Women and Mathematics, jointly sponsored with Princeton University, which brings together research mathematicians with women undergraduate and graduate students for an intensive ten-day workshop held on campus.

He is presently developing a mathematical theory T H of supersymmetric path integrals to study the quantum E

dynamics of a particle in random media. His other interests M include random matrices, chaotic behavior of dynamical A systems, and nonequilibrium theories of turbulence. T I C S

Richard Taylor Professor A leader in the field of number theory and in particular Galois representations, automorphic forms, and Shimura variations, Richard Taylor, with his collaborators, has developed powerful new techniques for use in solving longstanding problems, including the Shimura-Taniyama conjecture, the local Langlands conjecture, and the Sato-Tate conjecture. Currently, Taylor is interested in the relationship between l-adic representations for auto - morphic forms—how to construct l-adic representa - tions for automorphic forms and how to prove given l-adic representations that arise in this way.

Trained as a physician in internal medicine and O public health, he dedicated his early research to medical F anthropology, illuminating important issues about the AIDS epidemic, social inequalities in health, and the changing S O landscape of global health. More recently, he has developed political and moral anthropology, a new domain of inquiry C I that analyzes the reformulation of injustice and violence as A suffering and trauma, the expansion of an international L humanitarian government, and the contradictions in the contemporary politics of life. His present project explores S C the political and moral treatment of disadvantaged groups, I including immigrants and refugees, through an ethnography E of police, justice, and prison. N C E

Joan Wallach Scott Harold F. Linder Professor Joan Scott’s groundbreaking work has challenged the foundations of conventional historical practice, including the nature of historical evidence and historical experience and the role of narrative in the writing of history. Her recent books have focused on the vexed relationship of the particularity of gender to the universalizing force of dem - ocratic politics. More broadly, the object of her work is the question of difference in history: its uses, enunciations, implementations, justifications, and transformations in the construction of social and political life.
